Its all politics.
How effective are outraged citizens when they go banging on Congress because the President is violating the very Constitution he took an oath to uphold? Does Congress listen?
Congress ignored Americans when they screamed NO about Obamas Healthcare legislation: many were voted out of office last year as a result. That left a Hell of a mark.
Now, even worse, Obama has made economic decisions that are dragging the nation down economically and refusing to uphold laws with which he doesnt agree. That last is definitely an impeachable offense.
Will he be impeached? Tried and thrown out of office? I suspect there may well be an impeachment, but the Democratic Party will force him to resign rather than see the Party decimated as the result of a trial in the Senate. Obama is hiding much of his past; the Democrats dont want the truth publicly outed for it will destroy the Party.
The Obamas already has a bolt hole: he spent over $20Million dollars of OUR money to help Kenya rewrite their national constitution. In the process, it was rewritten so Obama is now eligible to run for President of Kenya.
Rumors from staff at the White House indicate that the Obamas have overseas bank accounts. Gee, what a surprise!
I would be happy if we could start by getting just one committee of the House of Representatives to hold a hearing on the Constitutional meaning of “natural born citizen.” It wouldn’t even have to focus directly on Obama, just on the Founders’ intent with that choice of words. That would be a place to start.
I have no idea which Senators would vote to remove Obama from office. Frankly, it would be unlikely the issue would get that far without intense pressure being applied for Obama to resign.
Congress doesn’t need to do anything vis a vis ‘natural born citizen’. There already exists legal precedent. The fact is, Progressives and Liberals don’t like it one bit.
What needs to happen is on the state level. Each state must ascertain that candidates to national office - president and vice president - meet the U.S.Constitutional eligibility requirements stated in Article II, section 1.
