That Obama is called "president" does not make him legitimate according to our laws.

Maybe you are right. But as I ask the birthers every time, HOW do you think this illegitimacy will be rectified?

Obama is unlikely to say "Oh goodness me, you're quite right. I'm not a natural born citizen after all!!" and start clearing out his desk.

The Founders didn’t want the VP to become President..only an Acting One. John Tyler decided he would become President after Harrison died and Congress let him get away with it by calling him President...and that set the precedent until a rule was formally adopted.

So, in essence, Tyler wasn’t an legitimate President.

The Founding Father’s vision did not get implemented in this regard. And there are other examples.....

At this point I do not think it will BE rectified. There is a legal doctrine of the Illegitimate Officer which I think will be applied to everything Obama did even if he IS determined at some later date to have been illegitimate. At this point I think the best goal that can be hoped for is to put a footnote in the History books and prevent it from ever happening again, that is, if we survive this first example of it.

Beyond that, everyone that supported or tolerated this condition needs to be rebuked.
