Here is the link to the Electoral College, I read it all, nothing you said here matches what their duty or options are.
Show me...

It doesn’t matter if McCain was born in Kenya. He was born to two American citizens, not one American citizen and one British subject of the Crown as was Obama. If your parents are married and full U.S. citizens without any dual citizenship, you are a citizen regardless of where you’re born.
I sent an email to “Judicial Watch” asking if they were following the Donofrio v.Wells case and here is their response sent today:
“Thank you for your email. I have forwarded it on to Tom. Various parties have filed lawsuits employing different legal strategies challenging whether Mr. Obama is a “natural born” citizen. Our lawyers are monitoring
those cases.
If someone is born on US soil, they are born a citizen regardless of the citizenship of their parents, with the exception of children of foreign diplomats. Once one is born a US citizen, it is very difficult to lose
that citizenship. For a case to succeed, the plaintiff will probably have to prove that Obama was not born in the US.
While many claims/rumors are circulating regarding President Elect Obama’s eligibility to be president, as one might expect, there is a big difference between what is circulating for political reasons and what can
be proven in a court of law. While there has been much discussion in the media and on the internet about the circumstances surrounding President Elect Obama’s birth, courts typically do not accept media reports or other
types of “hearsay” as admissible evidence. As far as we are aware, no one has produced admissible evidence, such as a signed, sworn and notarized document by someone who witnessed that Obama was born outside of the U.S.”
http://www.judicialwatch.org/about.shtml
They describe themselves on their website as this:
Judicial Watch, Inc., a conservative, non-partisan educational foundation, promotes transparency, accountability and integrity in government, politics and the law.
The emails says “courts typically do not accept media reports or other types of “hearsay” as admissible evidence.”
In Donofrio case, he points to Obama’s website regarding Obama admission he was a British citizen at birth.
Do you suppose that would be considered inadmissible by the Supremes?
The Constitution places no favor on political parties, and the SCOTUS is not supposed to either.
***Unfortunately there is a huge gap between “supposed to” and “is”. Today the SCOTUS needs to jump that gap; that’s why they are there. If they fail to do so, their own positions become meaningless.
The SCOTUS has a variety of options, if they choose to stop this fraud.
***And if they choose not to stop it, today is the last day of our constitutional republic.
What makes you think they are patriots? Most likely Marxist/Dem plants looking to stir up debate in the media over the "outdated" Constitution and get a "world citizen" elected or they are Hilary supporters.
WRONG! Children born of two US parents are US citizens AT BIRTH regardless of where they are born. This has been the law approximately forever.
Your statement above is FALSE!!
Citizens chlidren born abroad DO NOT undergo "naturalizaiton".
Naturalization is not a vague term, it is a process that includes taking tests and culminates in taking an oath of citizenship. American CITIZENS born abroad DO NOT GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS.
There is ZERO differentiation in law between Citizens BORN ON US SOIL and CITIZENS BORN ELSEWHERE. Both are CITIZENS and both are NATURAL BORN CITIZENS. (IE: Their citizenship is a result of their BIRTH and not granted via NATURALIZATION.)
SCOTUSBlog now lists the cases they’ve granted cert for in today’s conference. No mention of Donofrio.
Should I read anything into the fact that we haven’t heard anything yet? Does this mean that the deliberation is going longer than expected?

No, I just have reason to believe that Obama is Constitutionally qualified to serve as president.
As far as we are aware, no one has produced admissible evidence, such as a signed, sworn and notarized document by someone who witnessed that Obama was born outside of the U.S.”
***Has anyone produced “admissible evidence, such as a signed, sworn and notarized document by someone who witnessed that Obama was born INside of the U.S.”???
Nope and nope!
You do have reason to believe it because it is likely that he was born in Hawaii. And we have reason to believe otherwise because of his obfuscations on this subject. Since the CONSTITUTION says that a person SHALL NOT BE ELIGIBLE unless conditions are met, the conditions need to be met by Obama.
BO is going to look bad no matter how this unfolds. If he can’t produce a BC that shows the hospital or attending physician to be in the US, he is toast.
If he does produce his long form BC and it shows he was born in a US hospital his eligibility is not in question, but he would certainly appear to be extremely arrogant by not producing the proof earlier. He is either a fraud or he feels that he is above being accountable to US citizens including the libtards that voted for him. Even if we have “no standing” to demand proof, one would think he would want to voluntarily be transparent on this matter and be straight with the American people.
I could be wrong, but I've NEVER seen any Marxist/Dems praying, so perhaps you might forgive my assumption.
A FReeper organized this on SCOTUS steps. I’m sure he’s a marxist plant.
Lest we forget the claim that Frank Marshall Davis is the real Father...
The Court granted certiorari in only two cases today — al-Marri v. Pucciarelli (08-368) and Gross v. FBL Financial Services, Inc. (08-441)
