A woman was arrested in the House gallery Thursday after interrupting a reading of the Constitution by yelling out her belief that President Barack Obama is not a natural born citizen of the United States.
When Frank Rep. Pallone (D-N.J.) read the part of Article II, Section 1 mandating that only a "natural-born citizen" may be president, the woman, seated in the front row of the public gallery, screamed "Except Obama, except Obama. Help us Jesus."

On second thought, it couldn’t have been her. She’d never yell, “Help us, Jesus!”
I have a friend who is a liberal and was so excited about Pelosi reading the Constitution.
I didn’t say so to her, but was wondering if her tongue didn’t burn up in her mouth so some such thing that happens when vampires see a cross.
Since she makes conservatives look like loons she'll get tons of coverage.
You know that congressman held his mental breath when he read this part. EVERYONE KNOWS obama is, at the LEAST, “questionable”!!
I am wondering whether this congressman was selected purposefully because he himself would NOT break out in laughter when reading the eligibility requirements of the US Constitution.
Perhaps it was time, in the history of the United States, that a black person should have assumed the mantle of the Presidency.
Unfortunately, the wrong black person was selected to fill the vacancy when it occurred. In a sane world, the now failing obama regime would never have been incubated in the pressrooms of the print media and editorial boards of the networks, as they would have done a serious job of vetting him, and discovered his flaws and personal biases, thus never even clearing the way for nomination by a major political party.
Even in a mildly disordered world, this situation would never have got beyond a harsh primary battle, ending in the nomination of Hillary Clinton. But in the chaos that arose from the hysteria of the moment, nobody asked the right questions then, and the few that were asked were shrugged off.
Bite marks on the gluteus maximus.
OMG!!
I’m guessing they’ll throw her in Leavenworth. In a cell next to LTC Lakin.
GMTA....
Here’s an earlier version of the story.
Forget the protester, a democrat is participating in the “stunt”? Shocked!
Hi Maggie, if you have a ping list for the natural born issue please add me to it. I am already on your MO fashion ping list.
Comment on this wonderful incident: when Rush described it early in his show I was happy, but to later hear the event when Rush played the audio, was fantastic!
The congresscritter’s outrage that anyone would question his fake president was priceless! Why it was like the protester had blasphemed the congresscritter’s idol and god(she did just that).
God Bless her! She is very courageous. And now will be subjected to the extreme Obama regime full search of her entire being.
I think they were soundly condemned by us for their antics regardless of the message. Same criteria should be appied for all disrupters.
An American citizen was arrested for petitioning congress for redress during a public session....
Excellent. Thanks!
A set-up by conservatives, knowing that she would be arrested and charged with a criminal act and therefore have standing in court. Brilliant!

The incident occurred while Democratic New Jersey Rep. Frank Pallone was reading Article Two, Section 1 of the Constitution, which explains the citizenship requirements for U.S. president, on the House floor. The section states: “No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President.”
Detained by Capitol Hill authorities, the alleged Constitution interrupter said her name was Teresa Cao and asked The Daily Caller to have someone contact “World Net Daily.” She also told TheDC that that she did not believe that Obama is a natural born citizen.
Cao was featured in a WND profile in March of 2010, which described her as an extreme evangelist Christian who has been “positioning herself in front of the White House gates almost daily for more than two years…”
Officials detaining Cao would not comment further on the incident
Tweeting from the House floor, Democratic Rep. Jim Himes of Connecticut said: ”First interruption of the reading from the Gallery. By a birther, screaming about Obama. Unintended consequences….”
House members, lead by Republican Rep. Bob Goodlatte of Virginia, are reading aloud on the House floor an “amended version” of the Constitution that only includes the sections and amendments that were not changed at a later date.
A member of the public who doesn’t believe President Barack Obama was born in the United States and therefore eligible to be president briefly interrupted the reading of the Constitution by House members Thursday.

LOL
"'Birther' arrested during Constitution reading"
Do you know why this lawmaker was reading that passage of the constitution? That alone seems a bit odd.
