Well, in talking about the possibility that Obama may be proven ineligible, one is left in *two camps* at the same time — while you still hold out hope that it can be proven.
Now..., I would imagine that those during President Arthur’s time were *still trying to prove* their case, too. It’s just that they never did.
SO..., *during the time* that they were *still trying* — was President Arthur *really the President*. Now, that question is applicable here, too — because you don’t really know if you’ll ever come up with the proof — so you’ve got an “interim time” while you’re still trying to find it — but — Obama is still President. The question is — Is Obama *really* the President — while you’re still “looking” for the proof? And then, what if you never find it — is he *still President*?
There’s what I mean by living in two camps at the same time — Obama is President — while — you’re trying to find that Obama is not President — both at the same time... except only *one* is relevant at a time...
—
Continuing — it doesn’t matter how it is reported — what matters is *if you can prove it* — that’s the main thing. And that’s still questionable...
Anyway..., I still do think that President Arthur’s situation is “instructional”...
Let’s look at all the differences between the Arthur case and the Obama case -
Both had rumors and accusations made against them but it seems that is where the similiarities end.
Obama is admittingly born of a foreign father and admits to having duel citizenship at birth thus creating a controversy on the definition of a natural born citizen. Arthur did not have this issue to deal with.
Obama also has an accusation against him that he was adopted and made an Indonesian citizen with some documentary evidence already and very possibly more documentary evidence to follow involving his Indonesian passport. Arthur also did not have any similiar issue to deal with.
Obama was elected and Arthur was not.
The media today is more vast and the people through the internet have much more resources available to them than during Arthur’s day. - And ye that does matter as to how you were trying to make it seem that the Arthur case may teach us something as to how it may effect us. In this case there is more potential for investigation and coverage than there was in the case of Arthur. So there can obviously be much different outcomes involved as well.
