You said — “And what does that prove? I say nothing.”
Well, then I guess you don’t want to know the answer to that question. However, I would still like to know the answer to that question of how many pieces of legislation was invalidated during Chester A. Arthur’s term in office. That would give me some indication from history as to what we’ll be facing...

And then you said — “The historical case of Arthur does not prove that there is no harm in ignoring the requirements of the Constitution for eligibility.”
Well, I would like to know from history, what effect it had on the Constitutional provisions for President of the United States and if the present-day qualifications were changed by that episode of Arthur not being qualified. That’s something that I would like to know... Has it changed from that time?

And finally you said — “These are much different times and this case may have already gotten hotter than the case against Arthur ever did (not sure but would venture that it has).”
It sure is “hot” in certain quarters — but it’s certainly a total “non-starter” in other quarters. I guess it depends on what place you’re looking at it from...

Well it will not give us any real indication at all considering that it was never proven that Arthur was ineligible at the time. In this case e are still in the beginning of this process and it very well may be proven that Obama has a major problem in this case and then we will possibly see for the first time what will happen.
The Arthur case does very little toshine a light on “what to expect”

Well that is why I asked how many Supreme Court cases were involved in the Arthur case. It seems that it is already a much hotter issue this time around.
