Yes indeedy, that SILLY OLD CONSTITUTION is a real pain in the ass, isn't it?

Given your attitude on the subject, allow me to acquaint you with a product you'll find PERFECT for gift-giving this KWANZA.

As a courtesy for our overseas customers -- of which I suspect you are one -- we're now accepting payment in KEYNAN SHILLINGS.

See http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2120537/posts, comment 15 — I agree with Jim Noble who eloquently said:

“This is all so absurd.

The Constitution clearly anticipates the possibility that the Electoral College might elect someone not eligible to the office: “ If a President shall not have been chosen before the time fixed for the beginning of his term, or if the President elect shall have failed to qualify, then the Vice President elect shall act as President until a President shall have qualified; and the Congress may by law provide for the case wherein neither a President elect nor a Vice President elect shall have qualified, declaring who shall then act as President...”

The final arbiter is the special joint session of Congress wherein the electoral votes are counted and appeals heard.

This is the ultimate nonjusticeable political question. If the People of the United States, acting by the chusing of electors, elect Barack Obama, and if their representatives in Congress assembled ratify that choice, then it’s a done deal.

No court has a voice in that process, and none should.”
