Great screen name. Fits your post admirably.
What makes you think that you as an individual, or any group of individual citizens, including sitting members of Congress, can, at this point, enforce the 20th amendment by some sort of court action? That’s absolute nonsense. What is even more absurd is your notion that individual citizens can “...start pressing legal charges against all of our local representatives and senators covered by the oath of office in Article six for disobeying their oaths to support the Constitution as it pertains to the language of section three of the Twentieth amendment.” You can try it, and after a couple of these suits are dismissed, the courts can start bankrupting the Plaintiffs and their attorneys with sanctions for wasting the courts’...and the People’s, time and money.
Your remedy is in November 2012.
I certainly can demand to see proof that the twentieth amendment has been complied with. If it hasn't been, we don't have a legal President and if the courts say we have no standing to certify that the Constitution has been ENFORCED, there is no longer "law" worth respecting in this country. Put up or shut up.
I proved to you that we do have a law REQUIRING that the President elect has the burden of proving his/her qualifications to Congress. Its written plain as day in the Constitution itself. You, who claims to be "a simple old country lawyer" stated that it did not exist. Now you change your argument to "it ain't gonna fly" because it's over and done, etc. etc. Keep digging.
