OBAMA WATCH CENTRAL Thousands advise electors to check eligibility

WND ^ | December 13, 2008 | WorldNetDaily

If documents some day prove Barack Obama is not eligible to be president under the U.S. Constitution, none of the 538 Electoral College members who vote him into office Monday will be able to claim ignorance.

That's after 3,653 citizens had enough concern over the allegations, they participated in a WND effort to deliver letters to every elector, urging them to investigate.

That reality is that it is not us who are trashing the constitution, it is you. Yes, yes, in the midst your faux rage over a pretended controversy, you are trying your best to keep from office the duly elected president of the United States!

If the man is not eligible, then he's not duly elected, is he? If he is eligible, then we don't want to keep him from office, now that the election has been held that is. Before then, he wasn't elected, and technically won't be until the electors vote and their votes are counted, and then we did want to keep him from office.

It would be shame for the Chief Justice Roberts of the United States to go down in history as the first Chief Justice to incorrectly swear in a new President of the United States by not using his full and correct name even if he was not born in this country. There is no requirement that a President use his entire legal name. Ronald Reagan did not use his middle name, Wilson, for example. For that matter there is no requirement for the Chief Justice, or any Justice to conduct the swearing. All that is mere tradition. LBJ was sworn in by Federal District Court Judge Sarah T. Hughes. But any President could merely swear and/or sign his oath of office.

The Constitution says:

Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation: — "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.".

OTOH, I wouldn't want to be standing too close to "The Messiah" (whose?) when he utters those words.

I swear, this week we get a real controversy involving corruption and bribery and you people still want to chase after this windmill?

We can multi-task quite well, thank you very much.

Besides the "real" controversy is unlikely to touch The One is pure as the driven snow, 'cause the media tells us so and will do their best not to tell us otherwise.

They are separate issues. Being a crook, let alone one not even indicted for anything, does make one not "eligible to the Office of President". Being an illegal alien, or even just a naturalized citizen, does.

Barack Obama has walked a straight line in a crooked world, around his associations with Blagojevich, Rezko, Ayers, Emil Jones, Farrakhan, Rev. Wright and others.

Why shouldn't we believe him about his "birth certificate"?

[supercat]

If there is a problem, would it be better that the issue be forced before or after the Electoral College?

If it's exposed before, such that the Electoral College votes for someone besides Obama, that will create a really huge mess. On the other hand, if the issue were forced after, the 20th Amendment would provide a remedy: Barack could be told that he can take as long as he wants to present his birth certificate; Biden will serve as Acting President until he does. At no point would Barack Obama have to be disqualified from office; if he is ineligible he would be in an awkward position, but if a sufficiently prestigious ambassadorship or something opens up he might conveniently withdraw into that.

I think you miss the point. If the Chief Justice of the United States does handle the swearing of the new President, does he not the have a legal as well as a moral obligation to validate the authenticity of the oath he is administrating?

Make that:

Probably, but since there is no requirement for anyone to "handle the swearing" in, it's hard to say that if the one who does fails to validate the eligibilty of the person being sworn, it has any legal or moral implication at all.

But I think you miss my point as well. Suppose the Chief Justice refused to swear him in without proof of eligiblity? I'm sure one of the 4 liberal Justices, or some friendly Chicago area federal judge would do the job instead. Or he's just sign the oath and be done with it.

[NewEnglander]

Suppose the Chief Justice refused to swear him in without proof of eligibility?

Would you not like to see that happen? Especially the public explanation of his refusal to administer the oath.

Question: Does anyone know if there is a 'Class Action law suit'; on file on behalf of the AMERICAN people?

Most of us that are concerned about this have seen the 'You tube' of Obamas'; grandmother (living in Kenya) saying she was there (in Kenya) when he was born, and the removal of his sister's birth certificate from his website.

It would appear to me the DNC and 'group'; have intentionally put forth a fraudulent applicant, and they continued to perpetrate this 'story' to the detriment of all Americans.

Go back to DU

[WinOne4TheGipper]

What’s wrong? Did you get your conspiracy theory challenged? Waaahh...

[WinOne4TheGipper]

If,if,if... He is eligible. Deep down, you know that. You don’t care about it, though, just so long as you get attention.

[WinOne4TheGipper]

It's a joke. Get a sense of humor. But,since you want to be vicious...

Yours is the poorest excuse for aa educated opinion as I have ever seen.
“I’m right, you’re wrong, that’s all there is to it.”
That’s it? That’s your arguement?

If ever there was a snot nose, acne embellished child stuck in his parents basement, It would be U.

Someone isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer...

[WinOne4TheGipper]

Can’t have your ridiculous conspiracy theory challenged, eh? I see no reason why I should have to go “back to DU”, seeing as I’ve been a member in good standing for five years, and you’ve been here only a few months, probably peddling this same zany conspiracy since May.

[WinOne4TheGipper]

Excuses, excuses. Conspiracy theorists love to “debunk” this or that. The problem is, they never give any reason why anyone should believe them. They don’t have to. They “love” the Constitution. That should be enough for everyone else to abandon reason and logic.

[WinOne4TheGipper]

Yet another Newbie calling me an Obama supporter. **Yawn**. Why don't you guys go back to DU and perhaps refine your debating skills. That's all you're here for anyway, isn't it? Making FReepers look bad by getting some of us to buy into a garbage idea? I ain't falling for it...

[WinOne4TheGipper]

Uh, yes. You want to know why? Because no one has produced any evidence to suggest otherwise. Unless you’re willing to do so (and what BarryO’s granny says or what the Kenyan ambassador says should not be confused with real, concrete evidence), please don’t waste my time with a post. I’m well aware that I hate the Constitution, because other CertifiTruthers have told me so.

[patriot08]

Don’t forget your kneepads.
