The Constitutional requirements to be “de jure” President are:
(1) Win a majority of the votes of the Electors;
(2) Have those Electoral votes counted and certified by a Joint Session of Congress without written objection from any one Senator or any one Representative;
(3) Remain alive and not infirmed to the point of being unable to execute the duties of president between the confirmation of the votes of the Electors and noon on Inauguration Day; and
(4) take the Oath of Office.
De jure status is further confirmed by having Congress send bills to be signed into law and by arsenate confirmation of Presidential nominees.


A federal judge spelled it out in 2009:
Barnett, Keyes, et. al. v. Obama, et. al., US District Court Judge David O. Carter: “There may very well be a legitimate role for the judiciary to interpret whether the natural born citizen requirement has been satisfied in the case of a presidential candidate who has not already won the election and taken office. However, on the day that President Obama took the presidential oath and was sworn in, he became President of the United States. Any removal of him from the presidency must be accomplished through the Constitution’s mechanisms for the removal of a President, either through impeachment or the succession process set forth in the Twenty-Fifth Amendment.

Plaintiffs attempt to subvert this grant of power to Congress by convincing the Court that it should disregard the constitutional procedures in place for the removal of a sitting president. The process for removal of a sitting president—REMOVAL FOR ANY REASON—is within the province of Congress, not the courts.”—U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, October 29, 2009

Personal inquiry.

Would you describe yourself as a "Constitutionalist?" As a "Conservative?" As a "Libertarian?" As an "Independent?" Do you think Barack Hussein Obama is a good or worthy President?

In other words, are you in some sort of concordance with my present proposal that it would be wisest for "us" to remove top priority from issues of "forgery," and "constitutional illegitimacy" and concentrate instead on victory in '14?

I am taking this view on strictly pragmatic grounds. Although I believe Barack Hussein Obama to be the political equivalent of some sort of anti-Christ, I think we are stuck with the illegitimate SOB until 2016, and if the Republic is to be saved from further damage at his hands, he must be subjected to a House and Senate that will work to tie those Marxist hands in his last two years.

What is your evaluation of the merits of my idea?
