You didnt insult me, but you tried to use an insult as an argument. Saying you feel sorry for someone you are debating is a way of trying to insult their intelligence. But all it did is show that you when you run out of ideas, you wrap yourself in indignity.

I said nothing in the Constitution instructs anyone to determine whether the President is eligible.
Does the Constitution lay out the requirements for someone to run for the office of President?

As soon as you make exceptions you've abandoned the natural law self-evident truth upon which this free republic was founded. And once you've destroyed the foundation, everything else is going to fall down. It's a certainty. You've given away every moral, constitutional, legal, philosophical and political argument against abortion, right up front. In other words, you've surrendered without a shot being fired, and assured that the daily killing of thousands of helpless children will continue right up until God's judgment on this abomination falls on our heads.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men..." -- The Declaration of Independence

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." -- The Preamble, or Statement of Purpose, of the United States Constitution

"No person shall be deprived of life without due process of law." -- The Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution

"No State shall deprive any person of life without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." -- The Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution

"The appellee and certain amici argue that the fetus is a 'person' within the language and meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment. In support of this, they outline at length and in detail the well known facts of fetal development. If this suggestion of personhood is established, the appellant's case, of course, collapses, for the fetus' right to life would then be guaranteed specifically by the Amendment." -- Justice Harry A. Blackmun, Roe vs. Wade, 1973

"God who gave us life gave us liberty. Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that his justice cannot sleep forever." -- Thomas Jefferson

Yes, and until it is proven that something has been violated, there is nothing you can do Constitutionally.

But to the point I made, it does not address who is responsible for determining the President’s eligibility.

...when you run out of ideas...
You've got some amazing abilities.
How is it that you know I've run out of ideas?

Have you considered that I'm just giving you the rope to hang yourself?

Because the “sins of the father” that are forgivable do not include choosing my wife or my daughters to procreate. WHat effin part of freedom do you not understand?

Freedom doesn't include the right to butcher the innocent. The commission of one heinous crime doesn't give you a right to commit another heinous crime against a third party who never did a single thing to you or to anyone else.

Bullcrap.

Oh, so those "all"s and "every"s in the Constitution apply only to those you deem worthy of protection. I see.

Nonsense. The natural rights of man do not include experimentation to shove an egg up your rear end and have Elton John forcibly fertilize it to see if it might be the first male mother.

You didn't read the 10th amendment??

Bang your head on someone else’s wall. If forcible abduction and rape is OK with you so Charlie Manson can procreate with your daughters, that’s your business, I guess.

Oh , you mean evil scientists aren’t allowed to abduct you and try to have Elton John make you the first male mother?

Yes...
So does Obama meet all of those requirements? And with what evidence have you used to make that determination?

...and until it is proven that something has been violated...
Well public admissions as to your Father being a British citizen proves that something has been violated, doesn't it?
...there is nothing you can do Constitutionally.
I'm assuming you can back up your assertion with something more substantial than just "take my word for it", correct?

But to the point I made, it does not address who is responsible for determining the President’s eligibility.
You've made an assertion, not a point.

If the Constitution doesn't address who is responsible for determining the President’s eligibility then who is responsible for ensuring that any office holder is eligible? Members of Congress have requirements too so somebody has to determine if someone running for that office is eligible, don't they? Do they just assume that responsibility of their own accord?
Is it the political parties who bear the responsibility that their candidates qualify or is it someone else?

I think forcible rape should be a capital crime.

But the child has committed no capital offense. They are innocent, and our Constitution explicitly protects all innocent persons.

Or at least it did before Blackmun and company dehumanized the child, and the other officers of government in the other branches began to abrogate their own oaths in subservience to a now all-pwerful judiciary.

"No person shall be deprived of life without due process of law."

"No State shall deprive any person of life without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

Your use of incomplete sentences in no way leads to an understanding of what you're saying.

So the 10th Amendment addresses who is responsible for determining the President’s eligibility? Who does it say does it?

If you are saying this should be an issue left to the states to determine, then I agree. But it doesnt say that Congress can do it. The 20th says how Congress will replace a President, but only after he has been shown ineligible.

Grow up pissant. Another five thousand or more little babies were tortured to death in the abortuaries in this country today.

And it won't stop until we re-clarify the self-evident truth upon which this free republic was founded.

It won't stop until Christians and conservatives stop compromising with evil, and countenancing the violation of the first requirement of the oath, the primary purpose of government - to secure the God-given, unalienable rights of the people.
