A team of taxpayer-supported lawyers arguing on behalf of President Obama's eligibility to occupy the Oval Office say not even the U.S. Supreme Court has any input into the question at this point, and such cases should be barred from the courts.
"The Constitution's commitment to the Electoral College of the responsibility to select the president includes the authority to decide whether a presidential candidate is qualified for office," said a brief filed by government lawyers in a California lawsuit over Obama's eligibility under the Constitution's demand for a "natural born citizen" in the White House.
That's because, the brief states, "the examination of a candidate's qualifications is an integral component of the electors' decision-making process. The Constitution also provides that, after the Electoral College has voted, further review of a presidential candidate's eligibility for office, to the extent such review is required, rests with Congress."
The lawsuit has been brought on behalf of a number of plaintiffs alleging that Obama is not constitutionally eligible for office. The case, being handled by attorney Orly Taitz, who now has been joined by Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation, has a tentative trial date of Jan. 26, 2010.
Before then, however, U.S. District Judge David Carter is scheduled to hear the government's demand that the case be thrown out.
The arguments submitted by acting U.S. Attorney George S. Cardona and assistant U.S. Attorneys Leon Weidman, Roger E. West and David A. DeJute, say the Constitution further specifies if no candidate gets a majority of the electoral votes, the House of Representatives has the authority to select the president, "and, in so doing, to evaluate the candidates' qualifications."

He has to shovel them out!
The OBAMA JUNTA
Realize it, and GET RID OF IT!!!!!!
Fraud in the excution of an election, even if successful, will not stand in America.
The remedy will be political, not court based. It won't get that far IMHO.
That is exactly what they are saying. Odd ploy, admit the fault but claim there is nothing that can be done. They may be correct - unfortunately.
On second reflection this may not be that odd. If they can make the argument it would eliminate examonation of any documents.
this is an efficient statement of the upshot of what happens if BO 'found'/demonstated to be ineligible; don't fret 'bout succession issues etc,: stay focused on sole question of eligibility-"court of public and 'official' opinion" handles the matter forward.
Gosh, would a DEM would seriously claim an undocumented alien should lead the U.S.!?
This case was filed before obambi was president.
This only further argues the negligent actions of the electoral college, the DNC et. al. as to their constitutional responsibility to vet their candidate.
Oh ok. Glad we cleared that up. Just one more thing. Who is this "team of taxpayer-supported lawyers"?
Is the "Fat Lady" the Secretary of State or the First Lady?
It’s not just the fraudulant BC:
1. LYING about using another name on his application for BAR.
2. Failing to register for draft and/or providing a false document (Debbie S)
3. Lying about registration for college????
Point is there should be a dozen or more criminal charges that he should be charged regarding.
Yes, the far left may continue to support them, but the mainstream down to earth rats will not. Split in the party...End of the party.
Some people like to claim that the Declaration of Independence is not a law. They are wrong. The Declaration of Independence was adopted as the very first law passed by the first Congress.
In the end the PEOPLE can remove him from office if he does not go willingly.
Reader’s Digest Version:
The handwriting is on the wall.
The President is not a military officer. If he was, he’d be subject to the UCMJ.
If the case was filed as a petition to show cause why he should not be removed from office, it could have all been done within a month or so.
Great lawyers we’re paying for. An argument like this is perfect for winning the battle and losing the war. It seems to assert that NBC status is irrelevant once the EC has voted and Congress has certified. Even if it produces a dismissal (which one hopes it will not do), Obama’s moral authority to govern will erode even more quickly without resolution of the main question: Is he NBC or not? This will not make it go away.
What? They've decided they've humored us long enough? Yeah, okay...
You are on :)
