Thanks for your post.

“Even though he was sworn in on January 20, 2009, Barack Obama is NOT legally the President of the United States, unless he can prove that he is a “natural born citizen.”

Let’s consider the other side of the argument above. O is President because the Congress certified him as such, and only the Congress can “decertify” him.

The Congress is not so inclined, of course, and the question is who brings the action?
Not sure the USSC can say no party has standing.
Inasmuch as lower courts - pending Judge Carter’s decision - have determined that other presidential candidates and active military officers have no standing, perhaps two or more members of Congress would have standing.

As intended by the founders, the Judiciary has found action by the Congress unconstitutional on numerous occasions so clearly there is precedence.
What action/inaction by Congress might be unconstitutional in this regard?
The fact that on January 8 the Congress did not adhere to its statute, 3 USC 15, that describes in detail how it is proceed at the Joint Session.

Are there persuasive legal arguments allowing Congress to ignore its statutes? One would hope not, this statute is not a mere housekeeping provision that can swept aside.

If there are no such arguments, and in the face of this national controversy, the USSC may find Congress proceeded improperly and without authority to certify O as president. If enough members agree, the Congress could vote to perform the duty it was bound to perform on January 8 and ask O to arrange for the production of verifiable birth documents. If a majority of the members do not so agree, the nation (including the Armed Forces) will know precisely where it stands.

See the petition at http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/1st-amendment-petition.html.

If the petition or something like it, along with a motion is presented by a member of Congress and the Congress fails to take action it seems arguable that the Congress is proceeding on the basis of at least a grievous error and that each member is subject to damage.

Looks like this is going to USSC unless Kreep and Taitz prevail. Congress is corrupt. They don’t even read their bills. Thanks for your post.
