John Linder to stand and object Obama at Electoral Count

Boxer was and is a senator.

[frog in a pot]

“The Vice-President certifies the EC vote.

I was unclear, meant to refer to “electors whose appointment shall have been certified by the executive of the State...”

[frog in a pot]

“...where it states that a Representative and Senator may submit an objection in writing on the day that the ballots are counted in the Congress.”

Actually, it can be found in 3USC15 (1948).
Please see my About page.

Good for Linder. He’s a good guy, in general. When Cynthia McKinney was our Congresscritter, Linder’s people would do constituent services for those of us trapped in her district, since McKinney and her people were unable to do so.

"given MM is patently unqualified to serve as President. "

But that is not given- it is unknown. The states and electors have failed to examine his qualifications. Furthermore according to the states' procedures he is apparently qualified!

At this point it is a matter for a trial in the courts to determine if there has been a fraud.

Of course after he is president the congress could impeach and remove him for fraudulent qualification.

I am torn between moving to South Carolina or Texas. Both still understand the importance of the constitution.

Here is the catch: "...no electoral vote or votes from any State which shall have been regularly given by electors whose appointment has been lawfully certified to according to section 6 of this title from which but one return has been received shall be rejected"

Obama's qualification is not at issue at the counting. The Congress does not have the Constitutional authority to question it, as they have with respect to their own members, only the qualifications of the Electors' votes.

You (conveniently?) left off the next part:

, but the two Houses concurrently may reject the vote or votes when they agree that such vote or votes have not been so regularly given by electors whose appointment has been so certified

[frog in a pot]

“Furthermore according to the states’ procedures he is apparently qualified!”

First, there is the question: “On what basis does he appear qualified?” And the answer can only be: “Because he said so.” Certainly you will agree that nowhere in our dealings with any branch of government is that sufficient.

If you argue he satisified the state qualfication procedures so there is no issue, the response is the state accepted the “Because he said so.” and failed to verify O’s certification.

If you are saying that although the Congress is charged via the 12th amemdment with the responsibility of accepting, counting and certifying the votes for a candidate, but that it has no authority under the Constitution or 3USC15 to challenge and verify the Consitutionally required qualifications of that candidate, you and I will just have to disagree.

Nathan Deal would be another Congressman. He has been really on top of Birthright citizenship, he wants it eliminated. He doesn’t seem to worry about PC.

[DustyMoment]

He is saying we are all stupid for wanting Obama to verify he is eligible to be POTUS.

I see your point, i hadn't seen the graphic until you pointed it out. You're exactly right.

Also, I REALLY like your analogy about the Driver License. It is right on target. C'n I use that??

[autumnraine]

Sure! Please feel free to use anything I say for this cause.

[conservativegramma]

Holy cow! A real American!!!........ Holy cow. A real whacko.

Holy cow. An obamabot who hates the constitution.

This is from the state of Hawaii and all states basicly require the same. I wonder who made and signed the "Sworn Statement That Obama Is Legally Qualified To Serve Under The Provisions Of The United States Constitution"?

Do you mind if I steal your email and do the same (he’s my rep) I’m hopelessly incomptent at email senators. I always get nervous and re-write things so much it becomes jibberish.

[autumnraine]

Rhode Island is the same. Basically the only verification is that they swear it. Literally we just have to take their word for it. As I said before, if I ever lose my license I'm going to march in there and tell them I am who I say I am and prove otherwise. Somehow I don't think that will work for me as it has for something as trivial as oh, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!

[autumnraine]

You are right. At the very least, this will draw attention to it instead of a blurb on the news.

Of course you know it will be reported as “Republicans in an attempt to block an Obama Presidency...”

[autumnraine]

I’m with you.

[Red_Devil 232]

How did you find the Rhode Island Statement of Intent? I would like to see if I can locate a copy of the one submitted for my state.

[The Sons of Liberty]

Please do! Send it to as many Congressmen and Senators as possible.

[autumnraine]

Some Freeper from Rhode Island requested it and posted it.

I only grabbed it.

I suppose you could write the Sec of State and request a copy, I don’t think they can deny that to you.
