The only way it will be dealt with is in the states.
It only takes a state or two to refuse a candidate on the ballot for lack of proof to end their campaign right there.
I agree with you 100%. I don’t understand the process the states must follow. They can make a law but can Obambo declare it void by Presidential Order? Can it be appealled by the President or any Federal officials? If so, does the law take effect while waiting appeal? How long does it take to get these laws passed and enacted? Just a few questions thatyou and other Freepers can help me with. I live in a Blue state and nobody would lift a finger to discuss Obambo.
Unless such a law is structured to disqualify other candidates as well.
What if only one small, solidly Republican state requires eligibility? Could Obama get away with ignoring it and staying off the ballot? How would he and the nation respond?
I think the media would try to discredit the state and call it a stunt. They would spin it that Obama should boycott that state's ballot as a matter of "principle." But the spin will not gain traction, and eligibility will become an unignorable issue. Obama's best chance would be legal challenges by third parties.
What we need is for the states, on their own, to begin thinking about passing a "Usurper Detection Act"
There is nothing to prevent a state from passing a law requiring that the President must file his PROOF of meeting eligibility requirements with the state and that such a filing is open to public challenge in court.
Such a law could stipulate that any legislation signed by a President who refuses or is unable to meet this requirement to file shall be declared null and void within the borders of the state. No orders affecting any of the states citizens from such a usurper would have legal standing within the borders of the state. In addition, the act could command all legislators at the national level to institute whatever legal mechanism is required to challenge the standing of such a usurper.
It seems to me, any state-passed law that ENFORCES the Constitution would be judged as "Constitutional". Perhaps this can be done through a ballot initiative if the legislators refuse to look into it. We do not have to WAIT until the next Presidential election to handcuff a possible usurper. This can be done NOW and immediately protect a state's citizens from having to live with ILLEGALLY made legislation or orders.
