But the process to put someone in the Presidency is political from beginning to end, deliberately, by design.
You are correct that the USSC may decide "cases arising under this Constitution". But the USSC has never defined this question as a "case", and, in my opinion, they will not (and should not) do so.
The courts do not decide political questions. The whole elaborate ritual of opening and counting the sealed votes in front of the sitting VP and every Senator and Member of Congress was designed to emphasize the entirely political nature of the process.
And, lest you think I am defending "Obama" or his interests, I am not.
That a person such as the man who calls himself "Obama" could have been chosen to be President is a symptom of very, very deep-seated problems, problems which me may well not survive.
The Supreme Court, however, has already amassed (much) too much power. They should not be accorded the power to dismiss a President.
That's our job in the first instance (by not electing him) and Congress' job secondarily.
Should it be necessary to remove him by extraconstitutional or even extralegal means, the harm tha would be visited on this land would be, in my view, extreme. I pray that that will not become necessary.
It is my view that the USSC is correct is avoiding this, the ultimate political question. We have to resolve it ourselves, or live with the consequences.
So in other words, the king can do no wrong.
I don’t agree with your position.
To be a “political question” in terms of the judiciary, the Constitution has to directly and specifically give the job to a different branch of the government. Where does the Constitution ever give any other branch the job of determining who is or isn’t eligible to be President? Specific reference, please.
If a political process (other than the political process of amending the Constitution) nullifies the Constitution then we are not a Constitutional republic.
It seems to me that ‘We the People’ have lost contact with the offices of our government. The office of POTUSA is for sure corrupted by deceit, lack of open information, and enabled subterfuge by shadowy and unknown people. Every person of the Congress is direlect in its/their sworn oath to defend and protect the Constitution for millions of reasonable and patriotic citizens who ask for honest government explanations as to Obama’s eligibility for POTUSA. The Supreme Court justices are even less of character than the other offices and officials in that it/they have shut out any means to debate on the question(s) of eligibility that might extend to Obama. At this point I believe we ‘birthers’ need to search for and expose every bit of history as to Obama. His 2006 statement of being more a child of Indonesia than Kenya, Mrs. Obama’s statement around 2008 that Kenya was Obama’s home country, Obama’s involvement with a relative in Kenyan politics, these and and all other indicators need to be spread far and wide. Place billboards across the country asking if these august offices and officials know these facts or are they denying these to the citizens. It is time for grass roots exposure and to make the direlect people in Washington face up to the travesty they have generated aggainst OUR Constitution and history.
