Since all power and authority is delegated by the People through the Constitution, the President is not a “sovereign” (highest authority.) He cannot rule and the People are never “subjects.” He may govern as delegated in the Constitution.

It would appear entirely appropriate that the Courts may rule on state and federal eligibility requirements for a candidate. If the President does not wish to produce the documents establishing his eligibility, then he should be left off the ballot.

Kind of hard to go back at this point and ask him to prove he was eligible.

All Odumbo has to do, is simply refuse to appear for any number of drummed up reasons. Who will they send to have him arrested? It will throw the whole process into a tizzy, until after the elections. This man-child doesn’t give a rip about the laws.

In 1968, the California Sec. of State denied Eldrige Cleaver a spot on their ballot for President because he was too young (33 at the time) so States do have the right to check for eligibility. Apparently some states didn’t do their job because the Golden Panther Party got around 40K votes nationally.
