And I, too, do not believe there were any two patriots with courage, willing to fall on their swords to stand up for their country that day.
YOU are FAR more diplomatic than I. I chalk it up to the red hair and the boiling hot Irish blood cursing through my veins. ;*)
See the link I posted in #54 and also what the USC says in regard to this matter. In 2001 the objectors were asked if they had a SINator that had signed off on their objections.
There is nothing in Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution that requires the President of the Senate to ask for objections. The simple fact that they were about to certify the Kenyan rendered the Constitution null and void anyway.
As I stated before, VP Cheney had little choice in the matter, IMO.
Thanks. Call me your “red hair and the boiling hot Irish blood” twin. Makes me sick.
That is what you would think. But then one representative said he looked and there was no provision for Obama to do this.
Rep Bill Posey,Florida's 15th congressional district, introduced a bill, H.R. 1503, in the U.S. House of Representatives. It would amend the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to require candidates for the Presidency "to include with the [campaign] committee's statement of organization a copy of the candidate's birth certificate" plus supporting documentation
gained the support of ten Republican co-sponsors - Representatives John R. Carter, John Culberson, Randy Neugebauer and Ted Poe (Texas), Rep. John Campbell (California), Rep. Bob Goodlatte (Virginia), Rep. Dan Burton (Indiana), Marsha Blackburn (Tennessee), Kenny Marchant (Texas) and Louie Gohmert (Texas).
Republican Senator Tom Coburn (Oklahoma) also stated that he would "likely support it" if the bill reached the Senate, and acknowledged that Obama "meets the constitutional requirement to be president".

See #33.
NO! I am not going to do your research for you.
Thanks just the same.
“What can explain Cheney’s failure to follow the law regarding the procedures?”
No one knows. But these legal questions are being brought by people, Republicans and Democrats both. It is as though the fix was in from the beginning.
Dick Cheney may have the answer.
Sorry if I was snippy. I’ve been following this a long time and do not archive information. Rest assured, someone will usually pop up with the answer, and sure enough, some did!
