President's lawyers say eligibility question over

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."

John Tyler (b March 29, 1790), the tenth President, was the first President actually born in the United States.

THANKS.

Sadly, not elligible for any VA teeth pulling.

Wheee. Should have some pliers around here somewhere.

[SpaceBar]

I hope everyone understands the gravity of this. Some pretty boys and girls with law degrees have just stated that it doesn’t matter if Obama is eligible or not, he’s in and there’s not a GD thing we can do about it.

[MHGinTN]

The pleading sounds like just the sort of democrat approach the affirmative action fraud-in-chief would raise: “You didn’t catch me in my fraud in time so now I’m legitimate.” And ya know what, he has millions of kneepad sycophants who will delight in that criminality, a few of whom work FR regularly on his behalf, lying, dissembling, and stirring up as much confusion and misdirection as they can for their obamessiah.

[Frantzie]

Anyone getting the impression they might be getting a little desprate?

I hoep the young lady and young man who busted ACORN and Orly Taitz will motivate more people to do what they have done.

Obama *IS* ACORN

Dio....Sort of looks like BO doesn't have a legitimate BC or he would have presented it.....Instead of presenting this stupid argument.

Let's see...a thief admits to embezzling from a bank, but says he can continue to do so because he wasn't caught the first time.....makes sense to me.....NOT

[john mirse]

This sounds to me as though Bammie’s lawyers are saying he’s not an American citizen and there is nothing anything can do about it. Whadda country!

*******

If I were Obama's lawyers---who for some unexplained reason are paid by American taxpayers---I would be careful what they said in court this September 2009, because what they say today will be thrown back in their faces when the 2010 presidential primaries begin in 2011, when Obama will have to prove over again that he is eligible to run for President of the United States.

[autumnraine]

Well what’ll know. They say and wala! Issue over!

Deluded bastards.

[GOPsterinMA]

Wow, it took 10 men. Thanks for the info!

I’m reminded of the scene in Animal House when Belushi yells “Over? It ain’t over till we SAY it’s over!”

[so_real]

Sounds like "panic mode" has ensued a bit. The statement is a side-long admission that they cannot argue the case on its merits, or lack thereof. Instead they are fighting the proceedings exclusively on a point of order. It is an unintentional admission of guilt. And telling the judge something to the effect of "you can't do anything about it because you aren't Congress" will serve only to either a) give a spineless judge a safe "out" of hearing the case, or b) piss a former marine judge completely off. Say a prayer for the latter.

"This sounds to me as though Bammie’s lawyers are saying he’s not an American citizen and there is nothing anything can do about it."

What they are arguing is in fact this. YOUR Congressperson and Mine has the standing to DEMAND to see proof of eligibility at any time under section three of the twentieth amendment. Someone needs to step forth and display the courage of his convictions and live up to his/her oath of office under article six.

Since When do have to pay for the Kenyan clowns legal defense?

[TADSLOS]

Just in the past 10 days:

Van Jones sneaks out the back door in the middle of the night

Obama called a liar in the house chamber during his nationally televised speech of lies

1.7 million Tea Party protesters run him out of town

Glenn Beck pulls back the curtain on ACORN

and now Obama's legal team are calling for a cease and desist against claims of his ineligibility to hold office as a dog catcher much less POTUS.

Sounds like they're wee wee'd up.

Anybody besides me got a problem with this date? We’re talking about the most powerful man on the planet and it takes 4 months to hear the case?

“It Ain’t Over Till The Fat Lady Sings!”...;0)

[Uncle Sham]

The judge, if he is under the oath of office from Article six, has the standing to demand proof of eligibility. Otherwise, he is breaking his oath to “support this Constitution”.

[Voter62vb]

Won’t the Speaker of the House help us with this? She seems to care about rules, decorum, Constitutional and GC rights of terrorists?

I keep hearing from the Dems we are a nation of laws.

Wrong again!

The clients have jurisdiction gov clowns. And this is what the Judge is going to say to you guys, and Obama, as your motion crashes and burns LoL!

It's very simple even a Non Sequitur can understand it and possibly other ignorant trolls. Obama being the de facto commander in chief, and especially since the US is fighting wars, he has to be Constitutionally qualified to give orders, and since hostile actions are occurring he gives orders to put members of the Armed Forces in harms way. Harms way is possible death or injury to the Service Member. All members of the Armed Forces can be placed in harms way at ANY TIME. Simple, easy to understand, unless you are a complete idiot or a troll or working as a Gooberment lawyer defending Obama. Therefore, the Taitz's plaintiffs have STANDING. You'll find no relief in the 12b rule.

Judge Carter to Government lawyers: motion to dismiss DENIED!!

Also...Isn’t there the criminal aspect of **fraud**?

I would think that it would be criminal to hold oneself up as a natural born citizen, collect millions of dollars, and when one is **not** indeed a natural born citizen.

I would also think that being natural born is an intrinsic quality, just as being a black man or white woman is fundamental to one’s being and can not be created by the whim of any legislative body. A thousand Electoral Colleges can vote a person president, but if he is not natural born, he will **always** be a fraud if occupying the White House as president.
