It seems to me that you both are not addressing Nancy Pelosi’s fraud certifications, which brings this issue to another level, as the Speaker of the House, hmmm???
You raise a good point about Nancy. Given a certain set of facts, she may be complicit in an eligibility fraud.
As you know, the 12th A. Joint Session is the Constitutional "day of reckoning" for any alleged flaws and defects in the most recent presidential election - it is the day the Congress is required to certify to the nation the validity of the election!
If the President elects eligibility had been established during the Session, Nancys action, while negligent and hair-brained, would perhaps have been dismissed as a clerical oversight. On the other hand, her action may have had value as a political tool during the Session to uncover acceptable HI birth records that may exist or, in the absence of such records, to discredit those involved in the scheme.
Of course, Congress was unable to screw up the political courage to inquire as to his eligibility. This notwithstanding the substantial national outcry based on well-founded questions and doubts brought to its attention.
The way it evolved, Congress may as well have set up an open bar on the floor during the Session; on our tab, of course.
