(1): Prevent BHO, Jr. from attempting a 2d term.

Lets assume that some states (noably, AZ) pass a presidential candidate qualification bill - the Constitution provides that the states are responsible for elections. Then Obama could be in a world of sh*t ...

1. If he files in AZ, the AZ SOS will deny him even if he produces a birth certificate - because he cannot prove NBC. Then he has to go to court - no problem with standing here, he has a dog in the fight. He either gets relief or gets denied. Either way, it will be litigated to SCOTUS.

SCOTUS then is in a quandry - either they accept him, or deny him. If accepted, they open the door for "agent provocateurs" to possibly become POTUS in the future. If they deny him - then he is out and I don't know WHAT is done about all the bills and laws that he signed in his first term.

2. If he chooses NOT to file in AZ, then all of the other states will be suspicious of him - what does he have to hide ??? Could cost Obama in swing states - BIG TIME !!!

3. He could choose not to run at all. We would be rid of him - but he wouldn't have to reveal anything ...

Your scenario is exactly one of the results I would like to see. I have maintained that if even one state were to deny him, it would (a) completely destroy his creds if he didn't fight it, and (b) if he did, it would be fast tracked to the SCOTUS, where if he hasn't appointed 2 or 3 Hugo Chavez-like sotomayors by 2012, we can get this nonsense cleared up once and or all.

3. He could choose not to run at all. We would be rid of him - but he wouldn't have to reveal anything ...

Until the last few weeks, I would have bet on that scenario. But IMHO, they haven't anyone else! Cold comfort: so far, we haven't anyone!
