Efforts to get the United States Supreme Court to demand that Barack Obama provide unassailable proof of American citizenship continue without results.
Just for a moment, imagine that the Court does its job and it turns out that Obama cant come up with a legitimate birth certificate showing that he was indeed born on U.S. soil in what was then the territory of Hawaii, and the Court declares that he is therefore ineligible to serve as the nations chief executive.
Should that be the case nothing that he has done, no appointments that he has made nor executive orders he issued would be valid. And under the provisions of the Constitution, John McCain would be declared the legitimate President of the United States and Sarah Palin the Vice President starting with Inauguration Day, 2009.
All acts of Congress since January 2009 and signed by Obama would be null and void. No Obamacare, no federal tax laws, and none of his cabinet or sub-cabinet appointments would be valid.
And there would be blood in the streets as the labor union and the rest of the thuggery that supports him would erupt in violence. And God knows where wed end up.
The prospect of the nation enduring another two and a half years of this incredibly unqualified man is unpleasant, but perhaps the consequences of driving him from the office he now holds could prove disastrous.
The nation has endured many a great and tragic crisis , including a bloody Civil War that often set brother against brother, and a depression that nearly leveled the economy for all time. We survived in all such cases.
We can survive the final years of Barack Obamas presidency..(continued)

If this is so, may God grant him good health.
“Pelosi should go to jail, too, for intentionally defrauding the American people with the phony election certifications.”
Roger that.
Him who?
Turning a blind eye to an usurper who is not Constitutionally eligible destroys the rule of law. Sets a precedent which is much more dangerous than a few idiots making trouble.
Just because it would be difficult is no excuse for not doing the right thing. If hussein obama is an illegitimate President, and I believe there is a better than average chance that is the case, then he should be thrown out of office, his acts un-done, and he should be imprisoned for life without hope of parole.
Trying to avoid an unpleasant situation (eg. removing a sitting President) just to avoid the uproar by not doing the right thing is morally bankrupt and smacks of what passes for modern-day "liberalism."
PS - hussein is already proving to be disastrous for America, removing him from office could not possibly be worse.
PPS - I'm reminded of the words of Col. Slade in "Scent of a Woman" ... Now I have come to the crossroads in my life. I always knew what the right path was- without exception, I knew. But I never took it. You know why? It was too...damn...hard.
Let’s not forget the Mad How in all of this. Dr. Demento Dean when he was DNC chairman you know he just has a lot of the skinny on Obama and lack of documents. Howard has been rather low key since Bam got elected. Methinks Mad How is the cat who ate the bird and he’s feelin’ guilty on foisting the illegal Bam on America. Just a hunch!
“Obama and the MSM are already trying to stoke the flames of violence by his offensive comments....”

Good grief, I hear this all the time! There’s something folks need to understand, and understand good; for a dictator like Obama to benefit from chaos, they MUST be able to control the chaos!
Doubt me? Read up on the 1989 Romanian Revolution. Ceausescu had his dictatorial power one minute, and it was quite literally gone the next. He was not able to control the chaos he encountered from the civilian population and the military.

Lets also not forget, no other civilization has ever been as heavily armed as the United States population. You say he’ll get all the guns? The American people say: “Like Hell!”
The de facto doctrine doesn’t apply if someone knowingly commits fraud to criminally assume a position he is not eligible for. 0thugga has lied and covered up with assistants all his records. He has knowingly committed crimes to hide his ineligibility.
I am not smart enough to know this myself but have read enough of the eligibility threads to know it. El Gato and Red Steel and others know the details. Maybe one will chime in if they’re around.
Brennan completely ignores the fact BO/BS is violating the Constitution! Allowing him to continue usurping the Constitution sets a dangerous precedent encouraging foreigners in the future to destroy the country at the highest levels! That is far worse than any perceived consequences Brennan dreams up in his mind by a minority of the population.
Him who?
"In such cases the default is that the sitting President continues, but I take the two-term limit to apply, thus Dick Cheney is our President today."
"I like your thinking! This makes sense!"
The doctrine which gives validity to acts of officers de facto, whatever defects there may be in the legality of their appointment or election, is founded upon considerations of policy and necessity, for the protection of the public and individuals whose interests may be affected thereby. Offices are created for the benefit of the public, and private parties are not permitted to inquire into the title of persons clothed with the evidence of such offices, and in apparent possession of their powers and functions. For the good order and peace of society, their authority is to be respected and obeyed until, in some regular mode prescribed by law, their title is investigated and determined.
‘the minute mccain is sworn in he will fire biden and hire palin(or whoever suits his fancy)’
Where do you get this stuff? The political reality is that the Presidential Nominee picks the VP Nominee. The Constitutional reality is that the Vice President is both nominated and elected as an independent public official, no more subject to appointment or removal by the President than any Senator or Congressman.
The right thing to do isn’t always the easy thing to do.
But it is always the right thing.
At this juncture, I think the removal of Obama would create a huge societal upheaval that would result in rioting and many deaths. I think we need to focus on voting him out of office regardless of the substantial eligibility issue and the importance of the rule of law.

I think most of us would agree with this notion, however, there are three caveats which could undoubtedly change this:
1) Barry declares martial law (for any reason!)
2) Barry grants Amnesty to illegals by Executive Order
3) Barry even thinks of shutting down the internet
He had better be prepared to utterly crush us if he decides in any way, shape, or form to try any one of these dictatorial tactics.
