"If he didn't qualify, he was illegally sworn in. His election and Presidency are null and void."

Yes. U.S. Constitution Amendment 20:

3. If, at the time fixed for the beginning of the term of the President, the President elect shall have died, the Vice President elect shall become President. 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, or the manner in which one who is to act shall be selected, and such person shall act accordingly until a President or Vice President shall have qualified.

No positive proof of eligibility shown to date means "failed to qualify." Now what?

If he gets reelected the USA is going broke. We will have a credit downgrade. He’ll give us all the finger. We’ll be looking at 20 million dollar vacations every month.

Thanks for your post backing up the "failed to qualify" fact with the Constitution.

Repeat it far and wide. Not new, but the mantra, Obama "failed to qualify" in November, 2008.

Your child has to present his Birth Certificate to play little league baseball. How did Nancy Pelosi and the DNC get Obama on the ballot without having to show his Long Form Birth Certificate to comply with constitutional requirements?

Are the Secretaries of State of each state going to let Obama on the ballot this November without fulfilling the basic qualification as stated in the Constitution? If they do are they not remiss in their duties?

Article II, Section 1: "No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States."

If he knowingly concealed his birth certificate and took the oath of President, is that not a crime? Does that fall in the purview of "high crimes and misdemeanors?" As you said, No positive proof of eligibility shown to date means "failed to qualify." Now what?

Can anyone really debate Obama "failed to qualify?" And if he did not qualify, as Ed Vieira stated, "If Obama took the Presidential “Oath or Affirmation” of office, knowing that he is not “a natural born Citizen,” he knowingly committed the crime of perjury or false swearing (see Article II, Section 1, Clause 7). For, being ineligible for “the Office of President, he cannot “faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States,” or even execute it at all, to any degree. Thus, his very act of taking the “Oath or Affirmation” will be a violation thereof." Whoa. . .

While I'm at it, one of my pet peeves about Obama is not only his total lack of vetting but his 'security clearance' vetting. I'm under the assumption that anyone that runs for President gets the fine tooth microscopic background search by the FBI and CIA, either officially or unofficially. You know the Mossad did it. You tell me they didn't find a ton of data of concern? Yet, he got on the ballot, no problem. Most of us with any military background had to go through a thorough background check by the FBI to get any kind of security clearance. The President does not?
