Notice that the order of events is spelled out: if the President elect shall have failed to qualify. That means the qualification takes place AFTER the General Public votes, and even AFTER the Electoral College. It also shows explicitly that the ELECTION RESULTS ARE SUBORDINATE TO QUALIFICATION.

You’d think that even a bunch of ossified old pharts sitting on SCOTUS could figure this out.

If they can ignore the 20th amendment can we ignore the 16th amendment?

It gives the government to power to collect taxes via payroll with holding.

Unfortunately, at this point, he’s qualified.

The “people” asked the state of Hawaii if Obama was born there. They said yes. The court thinks that’s good enough. End of story.

If the Supreme Court took the case, I can guarantee you they will just ask the state of Hawaii to show them the birth certificate, and then the court will just say “looks good enough to me”, regardless of any other evidence that’s presented. There is no way they are going to believe any of the other evidence more than they will believe a government making an official statement.

No good can possibly come from pursuing it anymore, regardless of the rightness of the cause. You don’t always get to win. It is time to work on doing things that will lead to victory.

The Obama/Biden electors, because they were elected by fraud, have no standing.

This is the part I don’t like - Congress picking our President.

“Congress may by law provide for the case wherein neither a President elect nor a Vice President elect shall have qualified, declaring who shall then act as President, or the manner in which one who is to act shall be selected, and such person shall act accordingly until a President or Vice President shall have qualified.”

I.E. Congress selecting one who is qualified - Hillary

or if the President elect shall have failed to qualify

The Framers expected that at some point the voters might be fooled by someone who was not legally eligible. They expected to have all the facts in before the inauguration.

"if the President elect shall have failed to qualify"

The flaw is in your assumption that the words in the Constitution have meaning in law. Feelings have replaced the meaning the words the Supreme Law of the Land once conveyed.

First 0bama IS NOT President-Elect until the Electoral College votes and the votes are counted in Congress. Biden should have no trouble qualifying as Acting President, since he actually was born in the US. He’s an idiot, but unfortunately that doesn’t disqualify him. If 0bama is permanently disqualified, which being foreign born would do, I would guess that Biden would nominate Hildabeast to be President of Vice. Once confirmed, I’d expect Biden to suffer another another “brain attack” or meet with an unfortunate accident and the Beast becomes President.

Good point. This would seem to indicate that either the legislature or the courts determine qualification.

Some think that if 0 gets away with the scam,then the gov. of Kali can run. But that’s not so, the constitution still says ‘’must be natural born’’. So it would have to be amended and would apply at a later date.

= Fri. Jan 16th till 6pm -
Questions:

When and where did the questions begin about the eligibility of Barack Obama to actually serve as US President?

Where is the best info, summary, and links here on Free Republic?

What are the best sites on the internet?

Who are currently the best leaders questioning the eligibility of Obama to serve as President?

On FR, I will post these questions on the FR thread I just found:

20th Amendment Sct3: "if the President elect shall have failed to qualify"
Constitution of the United States ^ | January 23, 1933 | US Constitution

Best summary ALL the conservatives who are ** ignoring ** the eligibility of Barack Obama to serve as President:

The media blackout is not the problem...

The problem is...

Bush and the Bush Administration wants nothing to do with this issue, Vice President Cheney wants nothing to do or say about this issue, McCain and his previous campaign wants nothing to do with this issue, Governor Palin wants nothing to do with this issue and is looking forward to working with Obama, the Republican Party wants nothing to do with this issue, even Rush Limbaugh wants nothing to do with this issue, many other conservative websites want nothing to do with this issue, many here on Free Republic want nothing to do with this issue — and (of course) — the Democrats want nothing to do with this issue, along with Obama wanting nothing to do with this issue. Even the FBI wants nothing to do with it...

When you can get none of your own people in positions of authority to do something about the issue, you are *dead in the water*... And that’s the way it is right now...

And now — today — US Supreme Court — “Denied...” (with *no comment*)

Note to Star Traveler: That is a very interesting post. However, I would not take media blackout / media sellout off the list.

The new media is the same as the old media.
