The Electoral College will have the duty to certify that the winner of the "election" is properly qualified to take the oath of office and serve as President of the United States of America. Obama's birth cettificate may be required.
It’s quite humorous how the Berg/BC case brings out the same regular posters so determined to stop the discussion on the non existant obama BC.
Especially since he’s the prez now!
Strange rule. Dog catcher needs more id than Pres.
I don’t know about the EC, but it seems to me USSC Chief Justice Roberts would have an interest in ensuring he is administering the oath to an eligible person.
I just heard it would be hillary
You are correct.
Okay. The election is over. Hussein won. Time to stop this delusional behavior that is currently rampant on the FR. All this eating each other... stupid blame game. Enough already.
Moderators? Can we start week long banning of these people who insist on putting up vanity posts? That’s what I do on the site I moderate. Enough is enough already.
Has that 14-year-old taken down his API website yet?

Ha!!! Excellent.
It should be. No ifs, ands or buts. The real one.
For the record, the electoral college does not meet as one body. Obama’s electors will meet in each state’s capital on December 15th and 349 or more of them will vote for Barack Hussein Obama and Joe Biden to be President and Vice President.
There is no provision for the Electoral College to look at anyone’s birth certificate. Certification of the electoral college vote means tallying up the votes from each state.
It will be Dick Cheney’s responsibility to certify the number of votes that have been received.
A joint session of Congress is held to count the votes and to declare the winners. The chance of a Democratic majority in the Electoral College and a Democratic majority in Congress requesting Obama’s birth certificate before certifying the election is extremely remote.
In another unrelated action, though also aimed at forcing Obama to release proof or step down, 24 potential Electoral College electors are filing action Monday morning in court also demanding proof
They should not ask for it. They should demand and require it and/or the truth.
Keep it up. BC case not going away. Joke is on you!
While the Electoral College is very important, the individual Electors are the personification of a technicality. The Democratic Electors will vote for Obama (and the Republicans for McCain) without thinking twice (possibly not even once).
The bottom line is, with all of this B.C. hoopla surrounding this candidate, we must, for the sake of our democracy, verify this mans qualifications. Our democracy has never had to cross this bridge before, this is a constitutional crisis that must be resolved before this man is sworn into office. No its not racists to ask this citizen to present his original birth certificate!
Do you seriously believe that they will require a birth certificate? Let’s go one step further: if it is true he is actually ineligible, what do you think will happen?
Then Pelosi would only have to whack 1 person.
says who? There is no process to examine birth certificates of Presidential candidates. Nothing will happen unless a lawsuit or congressional action forces a process to be established.
