WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a blow to hopes from conservatives that the former president would face severe consequences for allegedly overseeing an attempt to deligitimize the Trump presidency, Barack Obama argued that he can't be charged with treason since he wasn't born in America and isn't a legitimate American citizen.
Republicans acknowledged that they could be left without any legal recourse after President Obama absolved himself of any potential treason charge by reminding everyone that he couldn't face any consequences since he was never a citizen to begin with.
"I can't commit treason against America if I was never an American," Obama said confidently in a brief statement to reporters. "The Republicans have been cooking up wild schemes for years to try to hold me accountable for crimes against the United States. Unfortunately, as someone who was not born in America, I cannot be held to that standard. Nice try, but it won't work. Back to the drawing board."
Constitutional scholars agreed that Obama's defense was airtight. "It's an open and shut case," one expert said. "You can't hold someone accountable for betraying their allegiance to a country if they never had any allegiance to that country in the first place. It's a pretty genius move by President Obama here. Almost as genius as falsifying his birth certificate to get illegitimately elected president."
At publishing time, Obama and his legal counsel clarified that any and all illegal activity and wrongdoing committed during his presidency was exempt from legal penalty due to the fact that he was never legally president.

The Bee is bust-a-gut funny!
Actually, not being funny, literally the paper of record, more truth in that article than anything new york times has written in the last one hundred years
If it got really serious enough, I could see him actually doing this.
See? If Colbert said sh*t like this, he’d still have a job.
Tell me about the Marine Corpse magic? I think that was when you could no longer differentiate between your rifle and your gun.
The imagination soars.
Every bill he signed would be null and void.
Obamacare???? Gone.
Well then his whole presidency was a fraud, and that’s cause for ... something?
NOT!!!
LOL - almost fell for this one...
He’s got us there.
The Bee got me again!
One of the BEE’s best!
Along with all judges he appointed
INDEEDY!!
Then he was misrepresenting himself all along & now needs to go straight to jail, preferably for at least a life sentence.
Then he was misrepresenting himself all along & now needs to go straight to jail, preferably for at least a life sentence. Whaether this is true, or straight from the Bee, jail needs to be where he is headed.
And don’t forget, Hellary started the rumor.
