But this is a employee requirement. It just so happens that the requirement is in the Constitution instead of some corporate handbook.
Employers require their prospective employees to prove their qualifications every day.
We are the employers, the citizens of the United States.
So, pray tell, how can he swear to protect and defend the very document he apparently disregards? All he has to do is show the paperwork, and end the whole thing.
McCain did.
But what neither the Constitution or federal law does is outline how candidates must prove their eligibility and who to. A loophole that has never been a problem in the past, and with the Democratic Congress won't be closed any time soon.

But is he disregarding it? If Obama is ineligible and he knows it then the answer is yes. But as far as Obama is concerned he's proved he's eligible. You may not agree. You may doubt the authenticity of his COLB. You may call the Hawiian officials liars until the cows come home. But unless you can present some evidence that Obama is lying then there isn't a court in the land that will listen to you.
McCain did.
Kudoes to McCain. The fact is that he didn't have to. And if you believe some of the claims out there, like Donofrio's, it didn't matter. McCain is still Constitutionally ineligible.
You said — “We are the employers, the citizens of the United States.”
No, actually I would say, in light of an (1) employer, (2) employee, and (3) the “hiring process” — it’s the *American Voter* who is the employer — and furthermore — only the American voter who *did vote*.
They said — “You’re hired!”

And they hired him by a greater margin of votes than either Bill Clinton got or George Bush got.
It would seem that your “employer argument” is a bit lacking, since the “employer” hired Obama by a great margin...

If you don’t get it yet... you’re on a *employer committee* and *you’ve been outvoted*... That’s the reality of the situation, although I do know that several posters have a problem recognizing the reality of it...
[... just for the record, I didn’t vote for Obama, and I campaigned for the Republican ticket and against Obama..., there are some “crazies” out there that make up stories, so I have to qualify this... LOL...]
