Carter cited Kreep’s arguments that Obama never met the constitutional requirements to run for president.

“There may very well be a legitimate role for the judiciary to interpret whether the natural born citizen requirement has been satisfied in the case of a presidential candidate who has not already won the election and taken office. However, on the day that President Obama took the presidential oath and was sworn in, he became president of the United States. Any removal of him from the presidency must be accomplished through the Constitution’s mechanisms for the removal of a president, either through impeachment or the succession process set forth in the Twenty-Fifth Amendment.”


So the bottom line is that if you can fake/fraud your way to the swearing in ceremony you win. Gee who knew?

If you have a compliant Congress, yes. Which you have if you're Barry. Even under much better circumstances, though, impeachment of a president is tough, tough, tough. They had Clinton dead to rights, and he survived the trial. Andrew Johnson was impeached by an exceedingly hostile radical Republican Congress, and even they fell short of conviction.

By that same logic, then there should be no "judicial review" of laws to see if they meet the Constitution --- if Congress passes it and the President signs it, then using that same standard, that law must be constitutionally legitimate.

I doubt it is bribery. Like Anne Coulter, Bill O'Reilley, Hannity and others, he was reasoned with and is putting expediency above the law.

You know as well as most on this thread and I am sure those I listed know that Obama is illegally holding office. Also, we all know that to remove him will cause massive riots, possible civil war that can degenerate into our nation being attacked or invaded from abroad.

Unfortunately, I am don't thing the alternative of having the constitution destroyed and the inslaving of our nation to unimaginable debt and fascist who ignored that constitution is any better.

Who said, "Give me liberty or give me death!"?

While I don't have time to look up the posts right now, I remember discussions on FR to that effect back in Dec 08, that we HAD to get this resolved before the Congress ok'd the Electoral College's submission - we tried to get at least ONE Congresscritter to stand up to this usurper.

I am not an attorney, but have seen many posters state that once he is POTUS, there is ONLY ONE way to legally remove him.

Ah yes, the floodgates are now open, therefore...

I, The Craw, in the interest of openness and transparency, freely admit that even though I was born in Sweden, and understand that my constitutional eligibility and civil rights are based on precedent set on November 4th, 2008, hereby officially declare my candidacy for President of the United States of America.

Well you need your sycophants in control of at least the House.

But that was probably the most sickening part of the entire ruling.

Meanwhile before he was sworn, no one had standing and no harm had been done...BAIT AND SWITCH.
