"So how on Earth can you possibly sustain the claim that Obama MUST do what you want him to do?"

It's not "me" wanting him to do this. It's the Constitution DEMANDING that he do this. Read it again. It CLEARLY refers to the "president elect" and that "qualifications" be met. Since he is "president elect", these "qualifications" cannot be whether or not he has enough electoral college votes. The only "qualifications" remaining that are not health related are the eligibility requirements found in Article two.

The term "shall have met" at the end of section three in the twentieth amendment clearly places the burden of meeting these requirements on the person seeking to serve as president. If the Constitution itself isn't good enough to force this action, then there is no law at all.

The fact that this has never occurred before is irrelevant. The fact that "qualification" is REQUIRED before being a legally serving president is.

We, the people are in charge, according to the constitution and we have a right to demand that it's rules are obeyed. Breaking an oath to defend and protect the constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic by violating it's requirements is grounds for impeachment.

Which we exercise in one of two ways:

1) Through our Representatives in Congress assembled. These Representatives voted 538-0, with Richard Cheney of Wyoming in the chair, to certify the election of Barack Obama. The Electoral Vote Counting Act designated this special Joint Session of Congress as the proper forum for challenges to the qualifications of electoral vote recipients, none were raised.

2) Through revolution.

This forum is not a venue for advocacy of #2, according to the owner. According to #1, Barack Hussein Dunham Obama Soetero is fully qualified as President, by the unanimous vote of the only body capable of acting on behalf of the People.

Where does that leave you?
