“People are getting confused on Congresses responsibility on election certification. It’s real simple. If congress determined that Obama was eligible, they would merely say nothing and certify the election. Had they found him ineligible (AND HAD THE ***POLITICAL*** votes to do so), they would declare him ineligible and resolve the matter as the Constitution clearly points out.”
You’ve identified the problem precisely: “AND HAD THE ***POLITICAL*** votes to do so”.
Article II - No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
“No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution”, obviously an immutable requirement was intended by the “natural born citizen” portion of the clause, not a indeterminate requirement subject to the whim of whichever faction holds sway at any given time.
It's not a real problem constitutionally, it is a problem for people who want Obama thrown out though. This is why I say the Birther movement, after having a brief moment in the sun, evaporated in that moment because people followed the breadcrumbs and realized it's a political process.
Article II - No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution ......
USCON, Article 1 section 8 4th clause: [Congress responisiblity]
To establish an [SIC] uniform Rule of Naturalization ....
So, another dead end for SCOTUS, back to Congress and the political process.
