President Obama Needs to Prove His Constitutional Eligibility to Be Commander-in-Chief

And, even if voting etc will get him out, people need to know who he is - or what he isn’t - what’s at stake, why it’s not “just another horse race between equal politicians, just another political nothing, I’ll stay home” etc.

Plus the more publicity and outcry, the more likely Rs running for office will wake up and smell the coffee as well.

[magooey]

I wholeheartedly agree with you. If a dozen or two courageous military officers would join the LTC in challenging their orders, it would change the dynamic of the situation from a political perspective.

[Non-Sequitur]

You never fail to show up do you? You are so pathetic. CO

And here you are as well.

[Safrguns]

Waste of time. Waste of effort. The battle against Obama will be at the polls, not in the courts. This birther crap is past getting old.

You simply do not see what is at stake, what we are up against, nor what it means if this truth can be exposed.

Take your pick...

Constitutional Crisis to deal with...

Or Communist Manifesto crisis to live with.

Pelosi, Reid, Obama... All pawns... total idiots... completely incompetent...

But the man behind the curtain is a genius, and everything that has taken place so far is according to plan... even the takeback of congress in 2010.

This is my prediction...

If Obama is not out of office before or shortly after the new republican congress takes office, this country is gone.

There isn’t any question on one point:

He definitely is not a “narural born” citizen; there never has been a speck of question about this.

[thecodont]

In fact all persons born outside the US, but "citizens" at birth under statute law are "naturalized", for the power of defining a rule of naturalization is the only power Congress has over citizenship.

Congress can't create a natural born citizen. It's beyond the scope of its powers. :-)

How can someone not eligible to an office hold it, other than de facto? It's a logical impossibility.

That is not what is in dispute, at least here. The situation simply is ... and that defies logic and causes us all to go into various states of Cognitive Dissonance.

Yes he is the de facto President, but that would cease to be the case once it was adjudicted (ajudicated) that he was indeed not eligible.

The opinion of either the Federal District Court in DC, and the Appeal to SCOTUS, upholding that he was ineligible, would certainly be noticed in Congress. But then Congress would still have to get it together to Impeach, and Convict. Faker, Fraud, or Fool though he may certainly well be, only congress can remove him. Ironically, the Constitution he violated, actually now offers him a great deal of protection.

I believe your real question is, "If The SCOTUS were to uphold an opinion that he was ineligible, wouldn't Congress immediately Impeach the SOB in the House and immediately Convict the commie punk in the Senate?"

Answer: "Depends on who's in Congress, and what your definition of immediate is." And no matter who's in charge, I am willing to bet that you wouldn't like their idea of "operating in a speedy and efficacious manner."

At any rate, there is absolutely nothing about his eventual removal from office that would be automatic upon the findings of any court that he was ineligible.

[bmwcyle]

Not as old as you.

[Non-Sequitur]

The difference being that the CBS story was denigrating Bush, while the Narobi story was celebrating Obama's status as US Senator who was a native of Kenya.

No in both cases there wasn't any evidence supporting the claim. The difference is you dismiss one as bogus and swallow the other one whole.

[Non-Sequitur]

You are a pest on any thread to do with this subject which tells me that you are a hired hack.

It's nice to see you're consistent. Consistently wrong.

[Non-Sequitur]

But if one believed the order was illegal, then one not only could disobey it, one was bound to do so.

And it worked out so well for New and Watada, didn't it? The military takes a dim view of personnel who decide for themselves if an order is legal or not.

[Non-Sequitur]

How can you defend or uphold it without "interpreting it?" Letting others tell you what it means is just another form of "I was just obeying orders".

Obeying the orders of my commanding officer is what I was expected to do. LCOL Lakin is no different.

[bgill]

Larkin should at all times carry a copy of his oath, the US Constitution, and Senate Resolution 511.

[bgill]

I get the distinct feeling Obama never meant to hold onto the presidency for long. And that sends chills up my spine.

Agreed with both. That's why he's shoving things through so fast and furious. Much damage to do in very little time.

[mojitojoe]

UGH! Are you being sarcastic? I think she is absolutely hideous and her body is deformed. She's enormous, bowlegged, a 20" gap between her thighs, hell she could carry a 25 pound turkey without even trying to close her thighs, her arms nearly drag the ground, her arms from the elbow to the wrist look like a polio victim, her pelvis could carry a colt and that caboose, sheesh...... Her face and mouth, don't even get me started on that.

[mojitojoe]

BINGO! You hit a home run with that post.

[bgill]

I don’t think he’ll show it because no court capable of forcing him to show it has done so.

Nancy and company knew and side stepped the issue. He should have brought it out then but didn't. He, himself, was on the Senate Resolution 511 committee that determined McCain was eligible through birth on US soil and from two US citizen parents to define NBC. McCain didn't force him through the same eligibility committee - WHY? There were several times he should have shown it, but too many wanted it all hushed. Hillary tried to get it out there but she was suddenly shunned by congress and was pulled from the running. Something evil this way comes.

[bgill]

We should just agree to accept the COLB forgery as a true birth document of Resident Obama. The COLB shows that he is NOT a Natural Born Citizen.

Exactly. Take him to court on the fake COLB's African father and if it's not the real BC, then he's pretty much stepped in it.

[mojitojoe]

I found a couple of new pictures that I don't recall seeing posted.

[Vendome]

hadn’t seen those.
