If it was found out that President Obama was not a natural born citizen would the US Supreme Court be required to remove him from office?
AnswerIt would be a matter for Congress, only Congress can impeach the president.AnswerImpeachment is a two-step process. The House of Representatives is responsible for issuing the articles of impeachment (cause of action), and for voting whether to impeach, which is somewhat analogous to a Grand Jury indictment in criminal law.If the House votes to Impeach, the Senate then tries the President on charges. The Senate hearing only serves to remove the President from office; there are no other consequences directly associated with the process.Of course, we now know the Courts have determined Obama's citizenship is legitimate.
Which of the following is an example of a legislative check over the judicial branch?

Why would congress veto the president's veto?
Your terminology is not quite correct. Congress does not veto a veto, it overrides a veto. And the reason for doing so would be that the members of Congress are determined to have their way. If they can muster enough votes, they have the power to put through their legislation, with or without the approval of the President.
What role does the congress have in checking presidential abuse of power?
Congress has the right to approve or disapprove items in the president's budget request. The Senate has the right to approve or disapprove the president's appointments. Congress has the right to impeach and convict the President or Fire the President. Thus, congress has a lot of power. The founding fathers at the Constitutional Convention assumed that congress and not the President would take the leading role in the Federal Government. However, the inability of the politicians in Congress to work together made that original vision impossible. Thus, the president holds much of the power he holds by default. Just because Congress has not been able to get its act together for 220 years does not mean that will forever be the case.
Can the people vote to have the senate impeach the president?
To answer you question, no. The president appoints Judicial Court member and then the Judicial Court members in return decide whether or not bills sent by congress are Constatutional or Unconstitutional and to that Congress can Impeach a president there by keeping balance between the 3 branches. Without that one branch could overpower another and i would just be catastophic, even though i think that Congress has too much power. But they wont use it. It is basically a huge system of checks and balances. It has been what has kept this country afloat for so many years. even though this country is slowly falling apart because of the people in office.
