This Is Completely Uncharted Territory
Bob Unruh says an attorney whose legal brief in a case challenging Barack Obama's eligibility revealed a Supreme Court can remove an ineligible chief executive now has released an analysis confirming that if Obama isn't eligible, he could be charged under a number of felony statutes.
And that's just on the federal level; any state charges would be in addition, as would charges against individuals who may have helped him in the commission of any of the acts, according to Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation (USJF).
Kreep has been involved in several of the cases that have raised challenges to Obama's occupancy of the Oval Office, including two in California. One is on appeal in the state court system and names California Secretary of State Debra Bowen as defendant. The other, in the federal court system, is on appeal before the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
Both make claims on behalf of individuals and political candidates in California over Obama's presence on the 2008 election ballot.
North Dakota Gov. Thomas Moodie, removed from office when the state Supreme Court found him ineligible
Kreep's legal research revealed two precedents he believes would be applicable in the Obama case. In one, state officials arbitrarily removed a candidate from an election ballot because it was not proven the candidate was qualified for office. In another, the North Dakota Supreme Court removed the sitting governor from office when it was documented he was not eligible under the state's requirements.
Now Kreep has released an analysis of the federal laws he believes could be applied should Obama ultimately be shown to be ineligible.
"If he is not eligible, he could be charged not only under with these crimes, but potentially with crimes in a number of states where he falsely represented that he was qualified to run, as well as people who helped him."
Further, there could be any number of challenges to virtually anything he did as president: his nominations, his executive orders and his signing of legislation.
"This is completely uncharted territory. It could all be challenged as invalid. There has to be a sitting president for [actions] to be valid. If he's not qualified, if he's not the president, it isn't valid."
USJF staff attorney Chris Tucker cites the statutes that could apply here (cursor down) . . .
Right now this is a dead horse.
IF he was not born a US citizen, it will eventually come out years from now.
We need to leave this alone and work on crippling ‘O’s agenda
At this point, I don’t want Barry removed from office, because the results (including Biden) would be devastating. It would give Pelosi/Reid/Biden a fresh start.
Obama is such a disaster that he has inadvertently given us a chance to regain control. And look at the resulting self-examination re: our values and our constitution. Priceless.
All I want is the truth. Expose him, let the Dems dump him. Take back Congress in November, the White House in 2012.
What? It already came out, HI AG won’t corroborate Fukino, Fukino breaks HI laws, Lingle says “manamanamana”.
Obama has NADA.
Plus, he admitted he’s INeligible already (twice published he was born British).
Never quit, never; the stakes are too high.
It would be better to get ahold of proof and blackmail him?
I’ve got hope and change he’ll do 25 to life!
You are a dead horse, by your own choice.
Never quit, never; the stakes are too high.
Correct !!!! however, I do believe the Constitution has president in this matter. It must be up-held, no matter the cost !!!!
Others have given a lot, others have given all.
Of course not. And that may be already happening. I am in no way defending the guy.
My problem is age and experience. I lived through Watergate, watched it all, every minute of the hearings, saw Alexander Butterfield’s stunner live.
And I know how completely distracted the country was by political drama. It went on for two years.
We saw it again, on a much smaller scale, during the Lewinsky scandal.
In this dangerous age, when we KNOW that there are plots afoot against us, a national drama distracting all of Washington just downright scares me, even more than evil 0 in the White House.
If we can flip Congress in November, we can politically emasculate him, let the Democrats dump him in 2012, then let history disgrace him.
Had Monica and Bill’s shame stayed behind doors, maybe he would have taken out bin Laden instead of trying to save his hide.
Just my current thoughts. Make no mistake: I want Barry0 thoroughly unmasked and disgraced, just in a way that does not hurt my country any more than necessary.
Treason.. penalty is much better.
Not enforcing the U.S. Constitution is a dead horse? That is a sad way to look at things. Depressing how bad things have become.
Pelosi would go with him... She is the one that certified him to the states. This is assuming there is ever a case to remove Obama first.
Cuff him and stuff him.
So Gary's got his own foundation now? Must be moving up in the world. Either that or he's tapped into an entirely new group of suckers.
Yeah how's that working out for ya?
oh F*CK parsifal, so Obama’s 270 parties and over 100 million wasted on frivolous travel is JUST FINE BY YOU???
gardez loo c’est parifal poo
