OK, then YOU iterate the facts and Constitutional passages backing up your contention that nobama is not the “legal” President.

NO, don’t point to some other person as some authority without posting that opinion specific to “a person being the legal President once the Oath of Office has been given”. YOU post the factual information that relates to the specific subject, not your opinion, not some other unrelated reference, I will listen.

If you can not do that then you will have shown us you have no ground to stand on.

The US Constitution.

Your turn.

YOU iterate the facts and Constitutional passages backing up your contention that “a person being the legal President once the Oath of Office has been given”.

Show me the passage and verbage.

And don't quote Rush Limbaugh.

If YOU can not do that then you will have shown us YOU have no ground to stand on.
