A U.S. senator has suggested that voters have made Barack Obama eligible to occupy the Oval Office, whether or not he meets the constitutional mandate of being a "natural born" citizen.
The comments from Sen. Mel Martinez, R-Fla., came in an e-mail sent to a constituent shortly after the election, which just now was forwarded to WND.
The WND reader who forwarded the e-mail was alarmed.
"This is frightening in its implications and should alarm every freedom-loving American and military member. I myself am a veteran of the U.S. Air Force (1979-84). Senator Martinez has said, in essence, that it doesn't matter what the laws are or what the Constitution says. If the people elected him, Obama is president – period."

I’m going to place an order for pitchforks and torches soon ...
Okay well since the 16th amendment was never ratified by all states at the time of its inception.... I am not paying one more dime to the f**king government!
Mel, STFU!
Unreal (if true).....
Somebody is DESPERATE to keep Obama President at any and all costs, even illegality.
This is an illegal Presidency.
Doesn't work that way Mel. Even if the voters want to change the Constitution there is a process for doing such. They (we) can't do it just by voting in a simple election.
Squaters rights???
No Mel, it doesn’t. Now, I’m not really into all this Birther stuff, myself, but that’s because I’m not really convinced by the evidences that he’s not actually “natural born”, though I admit that his reticence to date on clearing himself seems a bit....odd. If it WERE conclusively shown, however, that he wasn’t a natural-born citizen, then he should immediately step down, or refusing that, should be thrown out on his can.
P
What a total freaking moron.
This mutt feels nothing for America in his bones; nothing sacred.
To him America is just a flophouse till Castro dies.
G-d what a disgrace. Another bushie friend.
From reading: http://www.apfn.net/rockefeller.htm there are big guns behind his being elected and helping him cover his tracks. We the People have not had a chance or any control of this country for many, many years. We just think we do when we go to the voting booths or contact our government reps.
FWIW, Martinez is one of the Senators I personally have targeted for electoral defeat the next time he’s up, and I will personally agitate, email, give money, etc. to a solid primary challenge (unless he is retiring, which I’ve heard a rumour of) against him.
Martinez
Collins
Snowe
McCain
Specter
Murkowski
All either need to be replaced by conservative Republicans, or else by Democrats. Run the RINOs out!
Oh, and let me add Lugar to that list, too.
Unbelievable.
Imagine the kind of falling out he must have caused in order to be ousted (resign) after only one term as senator.
He must have no support at all.
I suspected they would use this defense—a sort of “voter nullification” of the Constitution. I just thought we would not hear it until the fact that Barry is not a natural born citizen was admitted by the White House.
