Keyes v. Bowen: Petition DENIED
(Excerpt) Read more at obamareleaseyourrecords.blogspot.com ...
Ping...
I just read recently that the FEC through its own “power” recently issued a statement that any “citizen” can run for the POTUS. No other qualifications except for the age limit. Did anyone else read that?
SCOTUS ping
(Anyone on/off, freepmail me.)
The FEC says that Osama Bin Laden is eligible to run even though he is (1) not American (2) not born to American Parents (2) not born to an American Parent (3) not born on American soil (4) not adopted by Americans (5) a mortal sworn enemy of America and Americans in the process of waging war against us and (6) dead.
That’s because the FEC is just doing what the legislation tells it to do.
All an O_ama has to do is file, even if the filings were to be fraudulent, forged or only partially-done. That’s evidently all that the Constitution as understood by Mark Levin, by Justice, Chief, Roberts, John G., by all the judges in every US court to have been *bothered* by nuisances daring to pester them with the matter have held.
The FEC did not rule on eligibility for office, it ruled on eligibility for getting matching campaign funds through tax payer donations via income tax filing. What the FEC said was that the person could run, but does not qualify for matching funds. This was a correct ruling. It is up to the states to determine eligibility to be on the ballot, not the FEC.
Personally I think the FEC is another fed police program that needs to be dismantled along with income tax return donations to be doled out by political hacks appointed by the politically elite.
What the FEC actually said:
http://www.fec.gov/pages/fecrecord/october2011/ao2011-15.shtml
The money quote: “Thus, because Mr. Hassan has clearly stated that he is a naturalized citizen and not a natural born citizen under the Constitutional requirement for holding the office of President, the Commission concluded that Mr. Hassan is not eligible to receive matching funds.”

They did not say he was ineligible for the office, and that to list him on any ballot would be misfeasance, if not malfeasance. Ignorance of a felony in progress is no excuse.

I would like to have a Mark Levin, a John G. Roberts, or an El Sordo, or even the relatively honorable people on the FEC on my side.
My side gets pretty lonely. The truth, being just the truth, is very quiet. Very quiet. Scary to most, that sheer quietude of it when it gets tested to the extreme.
“All an O_ama has to do is file, even if the filings were to be fraudulent, forged or only partially-done. That’s evidently all that the Constitution as understood by Mark Levin, by Justice, Chief, Roberts, John G., by all the judges in every US court to have been *bothered* by nuisances daring to pester them with the matter have held.”
Is there a translation available which makes sense?
The so-called money quote only shows the FEC won’t give funding to a self-admitted naturalized citizen. Of course, Obama never tried to use FEC funding ...
They can raise funds to run for the presidency. But the same ruling said they can't receive matching funds since they are ineligble to be president.
WND completely distorted the ruling (surprise).
They will ALL be denied. Whoever thinks a sitting President will be hauled into court for being unqualified is living in dreamland. I don’t know where he was born, just saying that a legal action will not be forthcoming.
Rule by fiat, Not by law.
Yes. I have an official US Mint Presidential Eligibility coin toss coin. Heads: eligible. Tails: ineligible.
Out of over 100 official tosses that coin has landed on its edge 100 times.
Yet everyone keeps claiming the coin is not rigged.
