He may indeed be given the oath of office on the 20th, but when the SCOTUS makes their decision he WILL be removed from office and arrested for fraud....No Impeachment, No appeal...just removed.
Good analysis from you and your dad. Knowing what I know from reading dozen of academic papers and doing my own critical research on NBC, I agree with your assessment on posts 24 and 35.
I'm unsure about post 37... I still question if a sitting Executive Head of State can be arrested in such a manner, without being striped of power first. Otherwise, the “police” control the Executive, which goes against many modern concepts on the subject.
Also, Obama would have to be charged with a crime. If the Constitutional definition of NBC stands with the last definition in the 1790 Naturalization Act, we could conclude that Congress only has the right to define NBC. Since it was revoked in 1795, it might be said that NBC remains undefined. Conversely, one may argue that NBC has always remained undefined and NO Naturalization Act has the power to define it unless it is in the Constitution. There are MANY, MANY ways to argue this...
However, if Obama is guilty of a cover-up, as many expect there, is still a process for that, too. But nobody wants to repeat Nixon, per se, unless it's purely for political goals by those that have the information. If it's “meant” to happen, documents will be leaked, and in such a fashion, next week, that the agencies that “hold” the documents cannot be “punished” if Obama somehow survives the ordeal.
A worse case scenario is if President Bush and/or VP Cheney do not relinquish power, at the guidance from the SCOTUS or because of their own executive decision...
and that's when things get scary.
If Jan. 20 roles around and this happens, in addition to the instability of the monetary system, public discord (which doesn't really bother me), etc., WHO does the Military follow?
That's what I dread the most, and hope the SCOTUS intervenes before Jan. 20.
On a side note, I can barely recall a time that the Republican “loyal opposition” in Congress has been so quiet. Cheney dissolved the EC vote count very quickly on Jan. 8, and IMO, looked like the bird that ate the canary.... very odd...
On what grounds?
