Would like to toss out an interesting scenario that could possibly take place. Now that Pelosi will be constitutionally ineligible to become POTUS should both Obama and Biden happen to be disqualified for unknown reasons, come January after Sen. John Boehner is sworn in as Speaker of the House, HE will be second in line for the job.
In my opinion, if the Republicans who will be in charge of committees to push the question of Obama's qualification to be POTUS succeed in exposing him as in violation of Article 2, Section 1 of the Constitution and SCOTUS rules he is unqualified, wouldn't that move Boehner one step closer to the presidency?
Yes, I know what you are thinking. Biden would step in immediately after Zero is removed (no impeachment necessary). But Biden would also be removed since he would be (in my opinion) an accessory to the crime.
Once Boehner is sworn in, he will have the ability to not only clean house by removing all of Zero's commie czars but it would be like January 2013 instead of 2011 come this January.
I look forward to my fellow FReeper's comments.
Clean house by removing all of Zero’s commie czars.
Like the sound of that can’t happen to soo.
2/3 is 33,,,and you have....36 republican governors now?
If they try to go too far it will happen. Who knows what the maniac in the White House will try next.
She will be for the next 2 months.
Great!!! Now we’re getting there. Good info.
What else will they wipe out at the convention? There are no Hamiltons or Madisons or Washingtons out there. Do you want the Constitution rewritten by the Barney Franks and the Nancy Peolosis and the Mitch McConnells and the John Boehners of the world?
It says 2/3. And it is in the hands of the state legislatures not the governors. This could stop the large communist states like California, New York, Washington and Oregon from having influence. It is there if we need it. And we might. The Framers put it in for just this situation.
It would be the state legislatures not the nitwits in DC. It is there as a last resort. The Constitution is really being ignored now anyway.
Sounds better than Pelosi sworn in. :-)
Boehner is a Representative not a Senator.
Sorry about that. You are right. Too early in morning. Need another cup of coffee. :-)
Totally agree with you there, I’m sick to death with “hands off” approach that because he’s the first black president we can’t do what we are allowed to do with anyone else flagrantly violating our laws. Such wimpy people out there it makes you sick.
State legislatures can call the convention but where will the delegates come from? The likely solution will be to let the public elect their delegates. Who will run? Politicians. Anyone who doesn't think that a constitutional convention wouldn't be made up primarily of the very people that got us into this mess in the first place is fooling themselves.
Do a little research. You may find out. The constitution is being completely ignored at this point anyway.
Now get the military jet free ride back and forth to her district away from her and her cronies.
No more free rides to San Fran Nan!
If the debate goes to Obama's agenda, we can discuss and control the topic, which is the complete and total failure of socialism at a societal level. All the while, we clamp down the purse strings and defund every piece of the damage he's done.
We control what law and budget gets out of congress now. Anything else is towards building the 2012 campaign platform.
Sure, let someone pursue his elibility, I'm not against that. The focus needs to be on why Obama is a failure, however. Not the simple fact that he is a complete failure -everyone knows that by now!
“Sen. John Boehner is sworn in as Speaker of the House”
WTF! Boehner is in the Senate? Who knew!
Right. A constitutional convention with an elite class that despises the constraints of the constitution would be insane. They would use the opportunity to wipe it out.
LOL !!! See my post 52
