You said — “As to moving on, and fixing the lack of a verification system, we can do that AND continue to pursue his possible/apparent lack of Constitutional eligibility.”

That’s where I think y’all are totally off-base here. And I’m willing to sit it out and see how well this all works out. I don’t think it’s going anywhere, at all, because from the looks of it, from the way our system is — right now — you don’t have a chance. That’s my estimation of the situation, which is why I think the system needs to be revised (with those state laws).

Now, you say you’ll keep doing it, which is fine — but at some point in the future, I’m sure I’m going to be back here again (on this issue, that is) and saying — it didn’t go anywhere at all and the new state laws are the only thing that’s going to work.

That’s what I’m saying about this whole thing. And..., you’ll see too, soon...

Why does it need to be state laws? It could be of course since the state's appoint the electors, but it could just as well be federal, since it is a federal position and the issue is enforcement of the federal Constitution.

Right now of course, there is no way in Hell that the Congress is going to pass such a law to enforce the natural born citizen provision of Article II.

And therein lies the danger in your position. How large or probable it is, I cannot say. But if Obama really is not a Natural Born Citizen, he must know it, and be willing to violate that provision. What other provisions might he violate? Quite possibly the one that requires another election in 4 years. Most Certainly Amendment II, he's already promised to do that, although he couches it in different terms.

In other words, there might not actually *be* a chance to fix this problem later.
