Good to read what you wrote.
In the Constitution, Ammendment 20, section 3, it explains about a President Elect, but Obama is not President Elect until the Electoral votes are in.
Right now he may be in “no-mans’ land, lol.
AMENDMENT XX
Passed by Congress March 2, 1932. Ratified January 23, 1933.
Note: Article I, section 4, of the Constitution was modified by section 2 of this amendment. In addition, a portion of the 12th amendment was superseded by section 3.
Section 1.
The terms of the President and the Vice President shall end at noon on the 20th day of January, and the terms of Senators and Representatives at noon on the 3d day of January, of the years in which such terms would have ended if this article had not been ratified; and the terms of their successors shall then begin.
Section 2.
The Congress shall assemble at least once in every year, and such meeting shall begin at noon on the 3d day of January, unless they shall by law appoint a different day.
Section 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 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.
Section 4.
The Congress may by law provide for the case of the death of any of the persons from whom the House of Representatives may choose a President whenever the right of choice shall have devolved upon them, and for the case of the death of any of the persons from whom the Senate may choose a Vice President whenever the right of choice shall have devolved upon them.
Section 5.
Sections 1 and 2 shall take effect on the 15th day of October following the ratification of this article.
Section 6.
This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years from the date of its submission.

Post 42 on this thread was his 1st. Over an hour and a half before that one. Before he was banned I looked at his posts. Quite a few for the first day of joining, most were trying to say the BC issue was a waste of time.
Silly troll.

>>>should have been make an issue before the election.<<<
>>It was.<<
Not nearly enough and certainly not in the MSM.
The MSM? The official propaganda arm of the DNC? They wouldn't touch anything thay would hurt Obama.

I think that they pushed for him the same way that they pushed for Clinton ... always better for news isn’t it when the biggest loser is in office? Sells more papers. Look at what has happened since he was elected alone. Markets dropping out of sight, political upheaval, speculation of the worst economic times in history ... they eat this stuff up.
they picked right for themselves .. they are gonna sell papers!
I think the press pushed Obama because they are socialists and despise average Americans. The “intellectuals” sneer at God, country and mom’s apple pie.

Lets see what they think when they disagree with him and he shuts them down. Then they are gonna love us and ask for our help.
my understanding is, Dec 1 is the deadline for a ‘response’ (legal-type). Whether the BC is a physical part of that response, is entirely dependent on how teamObama is actually playing this poker game...that is, what their true objective really is fighting tooth-and-nail all the way to SCOTUS. Only time will tell.

wasn’t the Washington Times one of the papers that was unceremoniously kicked off Obama’s press plane? [some say for daring to publically question why Obama ditched the unknowing press to attend ‘secret’ meetings]
I predict the Times will begin to give this story a lot of play - after all, they didn’t have to accept the ad, right?
