The Obama Scam

       Scam? Most definitely, or if you prefer, a shell game, an attempt to deceive - often referred to as a fraud. And, the scam was completed before we even reached the issue of whether Obama is Constitutionally qualified to serve as President.

       It is clear Obama had a duty to qualify for the office of the President pursuant to the 20th Amendment "...if the President elect shall have failed to qualify...". It is also clear Obama acknowledged such obligation when he or his designated agent certified at the state primary level that he was eligible for the office. When the issue was raised, however, Obama began what amounts to a shell game.

      Obama's attorney represented to the court in Hollister v Soetero that Obama had placed his Hawaiian birth certificate on various internet websites, although at the same moment Obama inconsistently continued to expend substantial effort and expense to avoid producing the birth certificate.

       Not surprisingly, but in line with this inconsistency, what his attorney represented to the court as a certificate was merely a certification. Hawaii specifies such certification document is not conclusive evidence of citizenship. Moreover, the certification placed on those websites was examined by experienced document examiners and found to be a fabrication.

       Even more troubling in this day of extensive government requirements that produces legendary paper trails - there is no credible evidence whatsoever in the public record that demonstrates Obama is even a U.S. citizen.

      The normal paper trail every citizen leaves behind is suspiciously missing in the case of Obama, and he refuses to produce such paper.

      Whether or not Obama is qualified to hold office he has, in essence, told these United States to stuff it.

*****************

        Readers will recall the January 8, 2008 Joint Session of Congress was called pursuant to the 12th and 20th Amendments to the Constitution for the sole purpose of objecting to, or accepting, the votes presented by the Electoral College. The Session was intended to assure the correction of any irregularities that may have occurred during the election.

       The Congress, fully aware of the national outcry over the lack of any credible documents that indicated candidate Obama was even a mere citizen, raised no objection to the College's votes and the Session was concluded in short order.

       Should the fact Congress overlooked its obligation pursuant to the Constitution, further described by statute at 3 USC 15, be considered a Constitutional defect?

       Congress alone had the authority to certify the results of the presidential election and declare that candidate Obama was the President. Likewise, Congress is the single body of our government that today has the Constitutional authority to reconsider and correct that action. Unfortunately, with the current political composition of Congress, it is unlikely any reconsideration will occur without a nudge from the U.S. Supreme Court.

       What are the most efficient means of getting this issue before the Court?

       The Armed Services, sworn to defend the Constitution, has a clear operational requirement of knowing its Commander in Chief is indeed qualified to issue lawful orders. Petitions by military commands may well reach the Court. Indeed, separate suits brought by retired Commander Charles Kerchner and Colonel Gregory Hollister, and active duty Major Stefan Cook, to name just a few, are in progress.

       A petition by a member of Congress who is concerned that the Congress may be performing its duties on the basis of a Constitutional defect, may also reach the Court.

       There is presently no constitutional crisis. However, if the Court agrees with any of the petitioners, and the Congress fails to correct the defect, there will most certainly be a crisis.

       The petition set out below does not refer to "natural born" as requiring two U.S. citizen parents. This is because the entire U.S. Congress, well populated with experienced lawyers and judges and with full knowledge that Obama's father was a Kenyan, made no mention of any such requirement during its January 8, 2009 Joint Session. Although it is clear the founders intended that the President be more than just a U.S. citizen, the precise Constitutional requirements of the natural born classification is apparently a matter of debate best left for a judicial determination.

       Obama and the Democrat-controlled Congress are quickly changing the basic value and character of our nation’s inheritance and culture. The suits brought by military personnel to address this fundamental issue may take longer than we wish. And besides, we should not ask our military to shoulder the entire burden and risk of challenging the mindset that occupies the Oval Office.

       Please send an unsigned copy to the Washington, D.C. office of your state's Republican U.S. Senator and Representatives and very succinctly ask them how many signatures they would require in order to a) read the petition into the record of their chamber and b) move that action be taken. (It will fit on one page with a 9pt font)

       (July 18, 2009 The general public is beginning to realize the gravity of the situation. Please send your letters prior to Congress leaving for its summer vacation - the House leaves on August 1 and the Senate on August 8.)

       Perhaps out of all of the Republicans serving in Congress, we will find one willing to recognize the requirements of the Constitution.
