"You really believe that Joseph Stalin could lawfully “qualify” as POTUS under the US Constitution, as required by the 20th Amendment?"

Where on earth did that come from? I can't imagine anyone thinking that Stalin would have been qualified to serve as President. (Hint: He was born in Georgia, but not the one here!)

Remember, it was your hypothetical. Everyone else thought it was ridiculous. It's quite a sight now to see you decrying your own absurdity!

Like me, you cannot prove that Obama was not born in Hawaii. Like me, you cannot prove where he was born. Like me, you have no idea where he was born other than what you read on the internet. Like you and me, Obama doesn't know where he was born other than what people told him.

Like me, you cannot prove who fathered Obama. Like me, you have no idea who fathered him other than what you read on the internet. Like you and me, Obama doesn't know who fathered him other than what people told him. As a result, none of us know whether his father was a citizen of the United States, Kenya or China.

Those who believe that he is unqualified should quit wasting their time hanging around courthouses and shift to an impeachment strategy. The House clearly has the power to impeach and the Senate has the power to convict and remove.

Forget the judges. They are just going to demand that you prove what your claiming and, as set forth above, you can't. Take it to the Congress.

And, quit driving yourself crazy over all this.

Of course not. But it isn’t the military’s job to work it out.

If Joseph Stalin ran for President, and a state in the country said he was born in the USA, and all 50 states certified him to stand for election, and the majority of voters voted for Stalin, and no one challenged his eligibility (or lost in court if they did), and the Electoral College voted for him, and all 535 members of Congress agreed Stalin won the election fair & square, and the Chief Justice swore him in...

THEN he could act as President.

The US military doesn’t certify elections. It doesn’t determine who gets to run. And the Founders would have been stunned if anyone thought a standing army SHOULD decide who won the election, or gets to be President. In fact, that was what they FEARED!
