Fmr Bush counsel: Electoral College can’t vote for Trump without proof his businesses don’t violate Constitution

What the living hell does this even MEAN??!?

What, Trump's businesses have slaves? They deny proper counsel to criminals? They station troops in people's homes?

Man, Bush was a complete POS, I'm finding out.

Obama told us he was born a British subject owing to his foreign national father.
It doesn’t matter where he was born.

This guy is a lawyer? Seriously? The clause he is talking about reads...

“No Senator or Representative shall, during the Time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil Office under the Authority of the United States, which shall have been created, or the Emoluments whereof shall have been increased during such time; and no Person holding any Office under the United States, shall be a Member of either House during his Continuance in Office,” the clause reads.

I not a lawyer and didn’t go to a fancy Ivy League school, but in plain English it says a Senator or Congressman cannot hold a government position that was created, or had pay raises voted in while in Congress. How on earth can this be construed to apply to a)The President and b) a private company? The TDS is strong in this one!

Point is, he hasn’t provided a valid birth certificate.

That statement alone won’t resolve it legally.

So where’s the document?

Nobody forced him to comply with the very first requirement to be president.

And yet this SnowFlake wants to parse issues far removed from that.

being born a British subject precludes being a natural born citizen.
One cannot be born anything else and still be a natural born citizen.

Just another piece of the deny Trump the Presidency puzzle. Clearly setting up one of the excuses for nevertrump electors to justify their betrayal.

Trump does need to figure out a way to legitimately separate himself from his business. At some point, it will be used against him.

Correct.

The framers were business men and farming was their business. They didn’t have give up their businesses. Period.

While I agree with you, once the guy is elected, they will require documentation to prove his status.

No government agency every required that.

Somewhere along the line, before the guy is officially considered a candidate, he should have to be vetted.

The Constitution is very clear about it. He has to be a natural born citizen. Nobody every thought of checking before if there is the slightest chance?
