If obama’s campaign is VOIDED the legal way to remove him) biden WOULD NOT be the President. Voiding means that obama never ran for office,if he never ran for office neither did his running mate biden. The President and the vice-President campaigns are not separate now ,as they used to be. The legal President of the United States according to the Constitution and U.S. Laws is President John McCain.


Practically every word in the post above is a bold-faced lie.

What is the process by which a national election is “voided?”

The 12th Amendment to the United States Constitution is very clear and precise. Whoever’s Electoral College votes are counted and found to be a majority of the votes cast and whoever’s Electoral College votes are then certified by the Vice President of the United States at a joint session of Congress and whoever is administered the Oath of Office on Inauguration Day “SHALL BE PRESIDENT.”

There is no way that John Sidney McCain can be president because he did not receive a majority of the votes of the Electoral College. That would be in violation of the 12th Amendment. There is no constitutional process to simply award the electoral college votes of one candidate to another candidate.

The way to get rid of Obama is by impeachment and conviction for high crimes and misdemeanors, resignation or defeat at the polls in 2012.

District of Columbia code 3501 is the correct way to remove obama. It has been used in the past to remove Congressman who were not eligible to hold office due to citizenship issues. Their campaigns were delclared voided, they never officially ran for office. It would also voided all electorial college votes cast for him. President McCain has the majority of the legal electorial college votes. biden was chosen by obama, which also removes him from being vice-President. 12th amendment does not apply in this case.

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!
