>Works for me. By virtue of the 12th Amendment, Mr. Obama is the President.
Really, wherein amendment 12 does the Constitutional requirement that the Person who is to be the President must:
- Be a minimum 35 years old,
- Ba a resident of the United States for 14 years,
AND
- Be a Natural Born Citizen OR a citizen at the adoption of the Constitution
become altered or repealed?
I cannot find it.
>Any officer who rises up against the President will be violating his/her oath to protect and defend the Constitution. If they want to do that, they should first resign their commission.
Incorrect. If the President were to order that no Law Enforcement agency would need a warrant for searching people’s homes in the US then that President would be violating the 4th Amendment; since the President would be violating the Constitution, which you agree is what officers are sworn to defend & protect, the Officers would have the obligation to confront the President... even to the point of violence should he not comply with the Constitution.
The person having the greatest Number of votes for President, shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed;
Shall be President. That part is very clear and it means that Obama IS President. Now I know that folks in this debate are fond of quoting their favorite parts of the Constitution, but somehow this bit continues to elude their diligent research. If Obama is ineligible for the office, then evidence will have to be produced and impeachment proceedings must follow. Since the evidence, if it ever existed, was flushed down the memory hole by Obama's goons; and the Congress is unlikely to ever bring impeachment charges, this issue is deader than the Cubs chances of winning the 2010 World Series.
He is the President and has been since the day he was sworn into office. Should he commit a crime, then the remedy is impeachment, not military coup. If he has already committed a crime by fraudulently representing that he was eligible for the Office of President, then once again, the remedy is impeachment. All of the other arguments fail to take into account the consequences of the 12th Amendment. Its that pesky Constitution thingy.
