If Obama is found to ineligible for the office of President of the United States, will the Electors chosen by his people still be allowed to select the next President? Presumably they will choose a Democrat: Biden, or worse, Hillary.
If Obama is found to be ineligible, won't that mean that "his" Electors are also ineligible to cast their votes in the Electoral College?
Very very interesting. Where there’s smoke there’s fire.
We are starting to get some traction, the MSM will have to start picking this up soon. The sad thing is that millions of Americans have no idea these cases are present and moving forward. We had 14 people at Thanksgiving and not a single one of them knew about the lawsuits - one is an Air Force Captain!
Jess, at this point I believe the consensus is that anybody is better than Obama. The list of people who might be authorized to take POTUS depending on which theory you subscribe to are: Biden, Hillary, and Cheney. In another lawsuit Donofrio argues that McCain is also not eligible so that rules out McCain / Palin if that is true. Again the consensus - anybody but the big Zero.
You can't bet on a horse that wasn't in the race.
Nope. We elect electors. They get to choose the President. So far, nobody has filed suit to force an elector to vote for the candidate they pledged to vote for, or to vote as directed by the state.
We presume they will vote for the candidate, although there has been an occasional elector which voted for a different candidate as a protest.
In fact, one could argue that for the November 4th election, the only thing that really needed to be certified was that the electors were legally allowed to be electors, since we voted for the electors.
It’s the electors that have to choose a legally qualified President. That’s when I would expect a legal challenge to be found credible, if there would ever be such a time.
There is zero chance Berg will get a court to stop the appointing of electors, or stop the electors from meeting. Neither the votes for the electors, nor the gathering of the electors, is invalid or unconstitutional.
The only argument Berg has is that Obama can’t be chosen — so until the Electors choose him I don’t think there is standing to sue.
And yes, if the electors decided Obama was not constitutionally qualified, they could really pick anybody else they wanted to be President. I don’t think they would be bound to pick Biden, they could make Biden somebody else’s VP.
There is nothing in the constitution specifying WHO the electors need to vote for, other than the rule that each elector must chose either a President or a VP from a state other than themselves (meaning that if a party runs two people from the same state, at least one of them can’t get the electors from that state. SOme people misunderstand this to mean you can’t have a Pres and VP from the same state, but for almost any election, you could still win even if you had to split the electors from one state).
That would be most appropriate, since the entire DNC and mainstream media participated in, and propagated this fraud. I sure hope the SCOTUS agrees.
