"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.
All members of Congress take this oath upon entering office. My question to you is do we know if Obama was eligible to serve as President or do we not?
Had ANY of these members of Congress obeyed their oath of office we would not be still asking this question. The very fact that it is being asked tells us that it was NEVER answered as the Constitution plainly required. Upholding the Constitution is far more important than any political considerations. Stop fooling yourself. They ALL covered it up. The Constitution itself tells us this.
The voters get to select the President, not Congress. Right or wrong, they elected Barack Obama in 2008. Perhaps, if there had been clear proof and public consensus of Barack Obama’s foreign birth early enough in 2007, he could have been disqualified without controversy.
But as it was, there was no consensus - and a deeply partisan division on the matter.
As we are seeing right now, the Constitution’s establishment of three coequal branches makes it very difficult for the Legislative branch to override the people’s choice for President.
To suggest the Legislative branch should have “enforced” Obama out of office, against the will of the people, is just absurd.
Their only mechanism for doing so would have been impeachment and removal, and no matter how justified it may be, impeachment against the will of the people is a zero sum game - just ask the Democrats.
