Is there a loophole in the Constitution which allows a person born in, say, Kenya, to become President of the United States?

There does indeed seem to be a loophole that allows an interim appointed “senator” to continue voting even after his successor has been duly elected by the people.

You were saying ...

There's a loophole that doesn't require a birth certificate to be shown... :-)
That's why I've been advocating that the states pass legislation making it mandatory in that state for a candidate to produce his birth certificate or else he cannot be on the ballot in that state. That would close up that loophole in the Constitution...

I think the pubbies are looking for a loop hole that would allow this to go through but make the pubblies look like innocent victims. Scum! All of them! They ALL must go!

"Democrats could try to persuade Republican colleagues to back down and withdraw their amendments after several hours or days of voting. With a unified Democratic conference, Reid would need just one GOP senator to cut off the process."
Perhaps the other way is true also. Senators like Lincoln and Nelson in order to try to garner some goodwill back home in their states could vote with Republicans on this one so that having Snowe back down is a moot point.

I say to Sen DeMint - LOL You diabolical scoundrel! I am with you all the way...
Besides - Some drugstore in DC will run low on tylenol with all the headaches you will be giving Harry his Yesmen...
CSPAN will have to air ads for NoDoz!

No, they’re not all scum. A good number of them are. But NOT all.

DeMint’s a good guy. He is looking to stop it cold.

I’ve been a fan of DeMint since a freeper recommended his book Saving Freedom.

Is there a loophole in the Constitution which allows a person born in, say, Kenya, to become President of the United States? The answer is self evident.

Good for De Mint. The ‘leadership’ of McConnell and Boehner is pathetic at best and dangerous in most instances.
Let’s see more of DeMint and Pence
