Let me add one more possible scenario, even if improbable, given the people upon whom we would depend to enact it:
One or two State Governors, and Attorneys General decide to keep whatsisname off their states’ ballots.
They are backed by their legislatures
This throws their decision into the courts: State Supreme court, then appeal to the SCOTUS.
No matter the decision, one side or the other would appeal.
Then, using the powers granted by the 25th Amendmendment, Congress finds him unfit, of course by then it would already be 2012. Whatsisname goes away and we have a working definition of “Natural Born citizen.”
Caveat: this scenario fell into my hands when a beautiful, pink pig flew by my place and dropped it. And Happy New Year!
Because the Federal Government has long (10 years) accepted a Hawaii Certification of Live Birth (COLB) for passport purposes, Obama can use a certified copy of his short form birth certificate to get on the ballot in every state in 2012. The short form COLB contains all the information necessary to determine eligibility to run for president except the 14 year residence in the US requirement. No birth certificate contains that last bit of required documentation.
The reason the new Democrat Governor of Hawaii is seeking to release Obama’s original long form is to have it ready for any state challenges in 2012. I predict it will be released by this coming February.
I suspect a lot of you have not read the info that was obtained through an FOIA request on Lolo.
It is quite interesting.
It appears he married Ann to stay in the country. He couldn’t remember what day he got married. Didn’t know her Dr’s name.
A Dr who had been an Assistant Chief of Staff in 1955 at a Maternity hospital wrote a letter in 1965 stating the Ann would suffer undue hardship if Lolo had to leave.
What is interesting to note, is that it appears someone pulled strings for Lolo to stay in the country and East-West was not happy about it ..neither was the Indonesian Government.
Who pulled the strings for Lolo to stay???
He had a paid off 1963 Corvair. He could have sold that to pay for her transportation to Indonesia. Supposedly an Uncle in Indonesia bought it and Lolo was paying him back. ...but through untraceable means. It was sent back by courier when people went from Hawaii to Indonesia.
