Yikes. Is this silly faither arugment day?? You answered your own question. He didn’t decide to commit fraud until well after the book was written ... and he did so by focusing on place of birth, not his parentage.
“Focusing on place of birth, not parentage” bears no relationship to commiting the crime of fraud. Either a candidate qualifies for the ballot and a state’s electoral votes or they don’t and it is the responsibility of the chief election official in each state plus the District of Columbia to determine who is qualified and who isn’t. In most states, that chief election official is the Secretary of State. In some states, it’s the Lieutenant Governor who has the final say (short of a court of law deciding in the case of a disputed claim)in who qualifies for the ballot and who doesn’t.
I’ll let US District Court Judge Clay D. Land’s words speak for me: “The Court observes that the President defeated seven opponents in a grueling campaign for his party’s nomination that lasted more than eighteen months and cost those opponents well over $300 million. Then the President faced a formidible opponent in the general election who received $84 million to conduct his general election campaign against the President. It would appear that ample opportunity existed for discovery of evidence that would support any contention that the President was not eligible for the office he sought. Futhermore, Congress is apparently satisfied that the President is qualified to serve. Congress has not instituted impeachment proceedings, and in fact, the House of Representatives in a broad bipartisan manner has rejected the suggestion that the President is not eligible for office. See H.R.Res, 593, 111th Cong. (2009)(commemorating, by vote of 378-0, the 50th anniversary of Hawaii’s statehood and stating, “the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama, was born in Hawaii on August 4, 1961.”—U.S. Federal District Court Judge for the Middle District of Georgia, Clay D. Land in dismissing Rhodes v MacDonald, September 14, 2009
