Guys we have to make this an issue. This guy is not a citizen according to some pretty good investigating. Check out these links about his fake Birth certificate. Maybe this is Hillary's ace in the Hole!

Thanks for your feedback cynwoody.
That was a Hillary-related blog and I have nothing to do with that.
It was a link of interest as to what THEY were chatting about.
Couldn’t agree with you less. You’ve made a number of speculative premises to support your conclusions.
At best, the only way I could go along with your assumptions is if you changed every use of the word “will”, to “might”.
If you did that, then I’d say you “might” be correct. Trying not to nitpick here, as I’m sure you’re a fine fellow (gal?). Anyway, warming a beer and talking about what “might” happen is far less threatening than what is looming in our nation’s near future.

If Stanley were born American, this issue is mute.
Who is then next in line for the Presidency? We go back to the Electors who would then choose a qualified candidate?
Would Roberts keep his oath, even in the face of possible impeachment?
Actually it is not the same for McCain, several laws were passed years ago that cover him. Why else do you think the MSM dropped the issue.
Not so, the US Constitution clearly covers the issue. And just because a person misleads the voters does not negate the Constitution.
Must have been born in USA. not just a US citizen
The Chief Justice administering the oath is traditional, not required. Calvin Coolidge was sworn in by a Notary Public.
The Constitution does not define the term Natural Born. It is thus open to legislative definition.
Merd! Yep. I just reread Article II, Section 1, Para 8. It simple says "...he shall take the following oath...". Does not say who administers it.
If it were to become an actual issue, the Democrat Congress will pass a law granting him Natural Born status ...Already done. See this article on Senate resolution 511.
... probably explicitly covering both candidates in order to imply that McCain is not Narural-Born.Too late to do them both at one time. It will have to be a separate bill if it comes to that.
This resolution was submitted and passed as soon as the issue was raised in the press.
I dont care if its the work of Hillary or not; for that side of the aisle, Id rather Hillary be the nominee.Any comments on Operation Chaos?
Who is then next in line for the Presidency? We go back to the Electors who would then choose a qualified candidate?If it is clear that he isn't qualified before the Electoral College votes then they could just vote for another candidate. Any candidate they like. Even Al Sharpton. Electors are not Constitutionally bound to vote for any specific candidate even in a normal case. See this article about faithless electors
If it happens after the Electoral College votes then the Vice President elect will become acting President until another candidates qualifies. The problem is that there is no way specified for a candidate to qualify at that point.
If it happens after he's inaugurated then he has to be impeached and convicted by Congress.
Bottom line, I really doubt anybody will push it after election day.
I’m not an Operative.
For later.
Im not an Operative.Good answer to a smart a** question.
I didn't mean to aim it at you, sorry.
It’s fine
