It is their responsibility though, rx. As I went back to the original texts of the framers, it’s when I realized that Leo retained far more information than people gave him credit for.

Much time was taken in the debates of 1787 for the government we see now. The framers laid it all out, just as we live it and each and every office had a duty. There were 3 checkpoints devised. The SOS, the Electors and finally the Congress. It was devised that way to guarantee there would be no mistakes, right up to the objection point in the Congress (that never happened in 2008 *cough* Cheney *cough*). How we failed each checkpoint and allowed factcheck.org to take on those duties with the public is unconscionable, but it happened.

That’s why I say he’s like a savant. He reads it once and grasps the entire history. I’m still sitting here reading it.

Look at how he figured out Chester Arthur. No one else has done that in all this time? The man has a talent. There’s no question.

Aside from the history of the office of the SOS, the modern proof is when 6 states threw Roger Calero off their ballots. That came from the SOS. They stated he was not qualified under the constitution, ok? The socialist party replaced Calero with that other guy in those instances, and Calero drew no public attention to it. I read the letters. And why? Because Calero knew he was getting away with it in other states, including NJ where Leo comes from, and didn’t want to draw attention to himself. And that’s another problem. Calero shouldn’t even be on ANY state ballot, period! That’s going to change next election, you watch.

After doing some research myself, I’m convinced that the problem here is, the people we have in office, including the Congress (and especially the ignorant media), don’t even know the history of this country, so how can they interpret the laws the way we assume they know how to do? They’ve even gotten the 14th Amendment wrong. They’re the ignorant ones. Not Donofrio.

The guy is definitely smart. Yeah he’s into his music and poker and all that stuff, but I think that’s part of the withdrawal when things get too heavy for him to handle. The paranoia at Washington... meh.. that’s understandable if any of us went through whatever he did, so I can’t judge the man. I never walked in his shoes. I can’t imagine taking on the Supreme Court alone after all that crap in the NJ court they put him through, the lack of sleep, the overtime bustle of cramming information. That would drive anybody over the deep end, let’s face it.

I don’t get where you assumed it wasn’t the SOS’s job. According to history it sure is. It’s the SOS, then the Electors, then the Congress. All 3 checkpoints sign off that the person whose name is on their sheets, is eligible. The framers intentionally made it that way and we still screwed it up 200 years later.
