Obama, asked if he was going to run for the Presidency in 2008, stated that he’d have to start running from day one, when elected into the Senate. He lied, He did.
He must have known then that he was ineligible to serve as President.
Then after the fact [after he was WAS running], the resolution was adopted. Therefore Obama with prior knowledge of his dual citizenship status, foreign adoption, etc. was a fraud.
Obama should NEVER have been permitted to run in the first place.
S. Res. 511, introduced on April 10, 2008 by Senator Claire McCaskill and co-sponsored by Senators Leahy, Obama, Hillary Clinton, Tom Coburn and Jim Webb, reported out of the Senate Judiciary Committee by Senator Leahy, Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, without amendment and by unanimous vote of the Committee, S. Res. 511 expressed the “sense of the Senate,” confirming that Senator McCain, who was born in the Panama Canal Zone to parents who were both U.S. citizens, McCain’s father in the U.S. military and the McCain family living and on a U.S. military base, was, indeed, a “natural born” U.S. citizen and, thus, eligible to run for President and, if elected, to be President (http://leahy.senate.gov/press/200804/041008c.html). The resolution was adopted in the Senate by unanimous consent on April 30, 2008 (http://tinyurl.com/49xaxe).
You should be able to smell a rat when you consider how nice the irascible Leahy was, and the smell of that rat got a lot stronger when I ran across commentary (see http://tinyurl.com/3uz4ex) that Obama, usually a no show and out campaigning, was in attendance and had a hand in crafting the specific language in this resolution, in particular, McCaskill and Obama added what some Senators thought was the unnecessary phrase,
“Whereas previous presidential candidates were born outside of the United States of America and were understood to be eligible to be President;” (see http://tinyurl.com/3uz4ex)
Meaning that the ineligibility to run, means he was not qualified to run in the primaries and since the resolution was accepted after a number of primaries were already done, he should have been disqualified and removed from the ballots and the delegates given to the other candidates or the primaries re-run.
The issue of Florida and Michigan would have never happened and the DNC would have not been able to allow him to run.
In summary, Obama would never had the delegates or superdelegates nor the ability to have the nomination.
Just like Obama’s admission to holding citizenship from a foreign country at birth, disqualifies him.
From Obama own website:
Since Sen. Obama has neither renounced his U.S. citizenship nor
sworn an oath of allegiance to Kenya, his Kenyan citizenship
automatically expired on Aug. 4,1982.”
Question?
How could it expire, if he never had it?
bump & bookmark.
Attention must be paid.
I wonder what happens if its shown he is ineligible for Presidency, and rather than stepping down he engages a long drawn out legal battle.
Any Politician, Citizen, or Judge who allows Him to remain and occupy the White House, is a traitor.
The list of accessories to the crime grows every day.
Is this just something that will continually be defeated on a technicality? I saw Berg’s lawsuit was dismissed because he “didn’t have standing” or something like that. If every judge in the US decides to sidestep these cases, what can be done? We may be screwed. Most lefties don’t care about the constitution when it becomes inconvenient for them. That’s why we have some imaginary right-to-privacy that thrusts abortion on demand on all of us. If that shiite can be pushed on us, how hard is it to believe the judiciary wont screw with the constitution and the public again?
Berg’s case was badly formed.
The other cases are not making the same mistake.
They may be rejected but likely not on form.
QUIZ: Who said the following?
“Senator McCain has earned the right to be his party’s nominee and no legal loophole should prevent him from competing in the campaign.”
ANSWER:Obama as quoted by the WashingtonPost.com in an article posted on March 1st 2008.
Strangely, the article was titled “Obama Backs Law That Aids McCain”. Somehow I think it was really a case of Obama backing a law that aided himself.
The author needs to do more homework...even basic research on the topic would reveal the irrelevance of this question. Nobody denies he had the Kenyan citizenship, which was conferred upon him upon Kenyan independence (based on his father's Kenyan birth.
In fact, the site explains it clearly: “When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom’s dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children. "
See Chapter VI, Section 87 (and related) of the Constitution of Kenya.

So you reckon that the reason obama was able to go to pakistan in 1982 is that he went on a kenyan passport?
On Jan. 20th 2009 Dick Cheney would be sworn in as acting President until the legal mess is settled. This could happen even if it gets settled, but doesn't allow sufficent time for transition, or for the remedy prescribed by the courts to be carried out.
Joe Biden becomes the president! Then Joe will pardon him for breaking the law!
he defrauded tha nation. he is a liar.
No, that would not happen.
Instead, you would have a President Pelosi.
Amendment 20 of the U.S. Constitution (Ratified 1/23/1933):
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 elect 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.
This is too important an issue for questions like this.
See British Nationality Act of 1948 (Part II, Section 5): Subject to the provisions of this section, a person born after the commencement of this Act shall be a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies by descent if his father is a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies at the time of the birth.
There is no dispute that Obama’s father was a citizen of Kenya and therefore a citizen of the U.K.
The more interesting question is what country issued the passport Obama used to visit Pakistan while he was in college, sometime around 1981?
Actually, this can be determined by the Courts. This is a major Constitutional issue and just like the line item veto, the Justices slapped that piece of legislation down. The Constitution can be changed but only through the amendment process.
We’ve got to get people educated on these Constutional matters. People have elected men/women to work for them who are usurping the Constitution. Moreover, the media is helping them to get away with this insanity.
