Why waste time on this, when there’s an election in a little over a week. Who thinks Obama is going to be declared ineligible?
It’s not a federal issue until the electors picked in the 50 individual state elections gather to pick a President. Right now, the only realistic place Obamanot’s eligibility can be challenged is in the individual states.
What if people actually cared when Hitler was coming to power and would have actually did something about it?
Obama is not Hitler, but Obama is as dangerous as a Hitler. His associations are a supreme red flag. His view of the Supreme Court picks would be creating another branch of the federal government dedicated to the Democrat party platform. His infanticide views are in a league with Hitler. He is hell bent on destroying the Republic.
The Constitution doesn’t say who is eligible to run. It says who is eligible to take office as President.
Then it provides a process for resolving an objection to a President-elect’s qualification/eligibility.
If the President-elect is disqualified, the Vice President-elect is seated as President.
Since the question keeps coming up....it needs to be settled, one way or another. Why won’t Obama settle it? If in fact he is in violation of the Constitution and becomes our President, then the whole Constitution is useless and rule of law goes out the window. Lock and load.
The Constitution says nothing about who can run; it only states qualifications to serve. Anybody can run; only a qualified, elected candidate can be sworn in to serve.
Right now, it is a state matter, state by state.
The only citizen who has standing to challenge Obama’s eligibility is John McCain. So we all know where this ends up... nowhere.
That being said, kudos to Berg for exposing Obama as the fraud that he is.
Why is only John McCain the person to challenge O’s eligibility. . THere are nine candidates on my ballot in Washington State. Surely they are all equal in the eyes of a court.
Sam Reed, our Republican Secretary of State has said it is not his job to verify eligibilty as it is a Federal office. I find this absurd. U.S. Representative is a Federal oFfice too, but he verifies eligibility for that one.
Obama has put this country in a very bad position. By causing all the turmoil he has, by separating races based on color, and people based on income, he has opened huge sewers that will spew hatred and angry civil unrest activities. I fear for my country that I love, as so many of us do. Obama loves only himself and unending adoration.
The millions of fools who cannot see, and did not see what this man really is - a power-hungry narcissist - will never believe there is any truth to the issue of the Birth Certificate or any of Obama's mysterious and frightening relationships with notorious anti-American, hate-mongering, racist, terrorists. They fell under his spell, fell in love, and have "married" him and will never admit their mistake. Narcissists have a way of charming people beyond the norm, making them oblivious to the truths, and keeping them forever in their spell with continued lies and platitudes. Until, of course, they no longer serve the purpose, or present a hinderence...then they are dismissed, "thrown under the bus" with absolutely no emotional concern - as Obama has done with countless people who challenge or stand in his way. Narcissists are addicted to being adored, like an addict is addicted to a drug or alcohol. They can never get enough and need continued verification of their worth, because somewhere in their life, perhaps because of their past relationships with family, they grew to feel unacceptable. Who else but a narcissist would have spent years producing two autobiographies about his life that really had no accomplishments? Adoration over nothing except for the sake of stroking their own egos is what narcissists count on. Being adored is their "fix." Americans have become Obama's "Narcissistic Supply."

You are correct. Maybe Barr can be useful afterall :-).
This is what the FEC has to say about the situation:
Dear Requesters,
The Federal Election Commission (FEC) is an independent regulatory agency with jurisdiction over the campaign financing of federal elections. The Commission enforces the limits on the sources and amounts of contributions to candidates for federal office, reviews the registration and periodic reports filed by political committees supporting federal candidates, and monitors the public funding of Presidential elections.
In regards to your concerns about the citizenship of Presidential candidate Barack Obama (and/or other candidates for federal office), please note that this issue does not fall within the FEC’s jurisdiction. The Commission was established solely to administer and enforce the federal campaign finance laws. As such, it does not have the legal authority to investigate a candidate’s citizenship or other qualifications for office.
In general, matters regarding candidate eligibility, voting/election procedure, ballot access/qualifications, voter registration and/or other issues related strictly to the election process are handled specifically under state law. Accordingly, you may wish to contact the appropriate agency that is responsible for dealing with such issues in your state or in the particular state(s) of interest. The Combined Federal/State Disclosure and Election Directory (CFSDED) contains contact names and information for each of the states; you may view this document here:
http://www.fec.gov/pubrec/cfsdd/cfsdd.shtml#Contents
Please note that each state establishes its own requirements for ballot access. Typically, as part of the ballot access process, a Presidential candidate (or the party on his/her behalf) must certify that he/she satisfies the qualifications set forth in Article II of the Constitution. If you believe that a candidate has filed a false certification, you may wish to consult an attorney to explore a possible legal challenge to that filing.
“The Constitution doesn’t say who is eligible to run. It says who is eligible to take office as President.”
I like the way you think. i’m going to be watching you.
Where does it say that?
As a matter of fact, it doesn't. It doesn't say anything about "running for President".
And, in fact, the Constitution assumes that the Electoral College might elect a person not eligible to the office of President, and provides clear contingent instructions about what to do in that event.
Go look it up. All you "Obama is not a citizen" guys should read the Constitution sometime.
Look, Folks. In essence, we are hiring the CEO of our country. Every thinking American wants to hire someone who AT LEAST holds the qualifications. We wouldn’t even consider hiring someone without them. We have a right to know BEFORE we cast our vote. Think about the logic of the arguments! We won’t tell you who was actually qualified until AFTER the choice is made???????
Is it hurting you in any way?
I say do what you have to do and not be ashamed of trying!!
