Eligibility battle rages on 3 fronts (OBAMA WATCH CENTRAL)
WNG ^ | 1/18/09 | Bob Unruh

Posted on 01/18/2009 2:41:44 AM PST by Evil Slayer

Officials at Occidental College in Los Angeles, Calif., have been served with a demand to produce records concerning Barack Obama's attendance there during the 1980s because they could document whether he was attending as a foreign national – in one of three fronts now established by those contesting the president-elect's constitutional eligibility for the Oval Office.

The Supreme Court and Congress also both are being challenged to address the worries that Obama doesn't meet the requirements of the U.S. Constitution that the president be a "natural born" citizen.

WND has reported on a long list of legal cases raising questions over the issue, and several of those have reached the U.S. Supreme Court already. Justices have so far declined to give any of the cases full hearings on their merits, but another conference remains on the Supreme Court docket for Jan. 23 on the issue

“(If you want Palin in 2012, better start closing those primaries now.)”

McCain won 19 of 22 closed GOP primaries.

Doesn’t this have to be approved by a judge to be valid?

"1. Our dear overlords in the elite deciding class have quietly been informed of the disturbing contents of 0bama’s birth certificate; he was born in the USA but something really embarrassing to him is there, and our dear overlords have decided that it’s enough for him to account to them privately, he need not be accountable to us. We have no standing. We are not entitled to proof, his discomfort is more important than ours. No need for court of justice. This decision would entail some specific dear overlords, like 0bama and the CJ who will swear him in. (Do we want to believe this of John Roberts?)"

"2. 0bama was not born in the USA, is stonewalling the dear overlords, and they do not give a damn whether he’s qualified or not. They don’t want trouble."

You left out a possibility.

3. Some crackpots keep filing lawsuits that go nowhere because they have no merit, and WND keeps hyping them. But nothing will happen because there is no evidence that there is actually a problem.

But that is not a meaningful set of statistics because the first ones, which were open, set the stage for a "snowball" effect that distorted the later ones.

For instance, here in WV, before the famed daytime first-ever Convention on Super Tuesday, only 12 of 1,300 delegates had publicly committed for McCain (while there were about 300-400 each for Romney, Huckabee, Paul, etc.) -- only 10 more than had publicly committed for Duncan Hunter, which included me! But by the time that day's vote started there were 126 for McCain, possibly based on recent results in NH. There were enough of them to pull that secret switcheroo deal which gave the win, and thus all the daytime publicity, to Huckabee so as to damage Romney, who had been the frontrunner in WV.

Candidates started dropping out soon thereafter, and when we had our primary here to pick the other delegates, only McCain was left as a viable candidate, so most the Republicans I know feel betrayed by the process and extremely dissatisfied with McCain. I don't know a single person here in WV who supported McCain in February, and we kept asking each other the rest of the year, how did he end up the nominee? The answer has a lot to do with getting 100% of delegates for only 30% of the vote in a multi-candidate race. If this isn't changed next time, we will have lost a good many political activists who are mad.

Hopefully, they will also handcuff Joe Biden, Dinjy Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and Howard Dean for the cover-up.

I can go with that.

If Obama were arrested, who would become President? Would they disqualify the entire ticket and name McCain as the President (or would it go to Biden)?

It would go to Biden, as the Electoral College votes have already been certified by the joint Houses of Congress.

Mr. Akin’s comments tell me that the courts “could” still disqualify Obama from the Presidency?

It would really be something if they also arrested Biden, Dinjy Harry and Pelosi for a criminal cover-up.

There would be a huge gutting of the majority of Democrats from government, as so many have known for a long time that Obama is not a natural born citizen and therefore ineligible to be president.

I hope the courts at least have the ability to force Zero to produce the birth certificate! This is insane that not one Secretary of State has not asked for this document in certifying their election results.

I don't know, I'm not a lawyer. My guess is that this is the standard interrogatives that occur at the start of a case to request documents. I'm sure if it's possible to contest these documents, that Obama will do so.

The only other thing I could find about this case is the Petition for Writ of Mandate

You said — “Even though a little late for the swearing in, still would be great to watch him being led off in handcuffs from the Oval Office a week after being sworn in.”

I was asking about that very thing, from other FReepers here, and it was told to me that the only way a President could be removed was through Congress with Impeachment and Conviction.

I asked specifically if a Marshal could walk into the White House with court orders and escort Obama off the premises and/or escort to jail like you’re saying and the answers I got back was “no way” ...

Were you just speaking in hyperbole, and not “for real”?

You said — “... rock solid proof he wasn’t natural born, they would change the constitution”

It couldn’t happen fast enough, unfortunately. It takes 2/3 of Congress to propose a Constitutional Amendment. I don’t know if they’ve got 2/3 or not. Then it takes the states (the people there) to vote to ratify (each state) — a minimum of 3/4 of the states.

It only takes 13 to block the Amendment and then it’s *done* and over (i.e., not approved).

In real terms, this just won’t happen. Just look at the states that the Republican ticket won and see if you think those states would turn to ratifying such an Amendment for Obama. Furthermore, I’m not even sure some of the Democrat states would do such a thing...

BUT, it’s entirely possible to get a *definition* of “natural born” from the Supreme Court that could benefit Obama. *That* could happen....

You said — “Fraudulent presidents are arrested and imprisoned, along with all those who aided and abetted the fraud.”

According to other FReepers who support the Constitution, when asked this, it was said, “no way” — that the only way to remove a President is through the process defined in the Constitution.

I see that rationale, too, because there is separation of powers for the three branches of government... Only in the way that is defined in the Constitution, could another branch intrude on one branch (like the Legislative, with the Executive, in an Impeachment trial, for example).

You said — “After Obama takes office, the “ Ripeness” issue exists and a violation of the Constitutional requirements for holding office in fact exist.”

The proof for this assertion will easily be seen in a day or two (or maybe even a week) after January 20th...

I will be awaiting that. It should be interesting.

That’s how writers make money, writing novels...

In real life, however, very highly unlikely. Of course, people do like novels...

I guess it was wishful thinking.:-) Impeachment would be okay but take longer and with a new congress packed with the democRAT worshipers of The One, he would probably escape Impeachment and would definitely escape removal by the senate.
