Fact Number One
Congress is REQUIRED to ensure that the President elect is eligibile for the office or they must name a replacement if the Vice President elect is also ineligible. (Twentieth Amendment, section three)
3. If, at the time fixed for the beginning of the term of the President, the President elect shall have died, the Vice President elect shall become President. If a President shall not have been chosen before the time fixed for the beginning of his term, or if the President elect shall have failed to qualify, then the Vice President elect shall act as President until a President shall have qualified; and the Congress may by law provide for the case wherein neither a President elect nor a Vice President elect shall have qualified, declaring who shall then act as President, or the manner in which one who is to act shall be selected, and such person shall act accordingly until a President or Vice President shall have qualified.
Fact Number Two
The burden of proof is on the President elect to prove eligibility. The sequence of words from section three stating "if the President elect shall have failed" is describing an action by the "President elect" that he failed at.
Fact Number Three
The eligibility requirements in Article Two, section one clearly state that NO PERSON who fails to meet the eligibility requirements can serve as President. "No Person" leaves absolutely no wiggle room for anyone who might possibly fool his way into being sworn in through fraudulent representation or Congressional neglect in enforcing section three of the Twentieth amendment.
" 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; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
Fact Number Four
Since Congress must act if the President elect fails to qualify, Congress must be made aware of whether they must act or not. This means that a legal "qualification" is fully known by Congress and that there is no mystery whether someone was eligible to serve or not. That is, if that "qualification" was made.
Fact Number Five
We have mystery about the eligibility of the person currently calling himself "President". Nothing but mystery.
Fact Number Six
Since we have "mystery" this means that a "qualification" was NOT made and thus the President elect has "failed to qualify" and cannot be serving legally as President.
Fact Number Seven
"We have no birth certificate" EQUALS "We have a usurper".
Fact Number Eight
It is the duty of Congress to immediately address this issue as per section three of the Twentieth amendment or they are breaking their oath of office from Article Six to "support this Constitution".
LOL! Who told you that?...Bill O’Reilly?
There might be a point here to bear on the actions of Obama. Take that this was an oath that Obama took ‘..to preserve, defend and protect..’ and that this applied to the Constitution’s explicit requirement for POTUSA to be a natural born citizen. It then follows that it is Obama’s sworn obligation to provide/support for action/legal verification that POTUSA is a natural born citizen. Maybe being a lawyer he is going by rule that a person cannot be compelled to testify against himself. Perhaps if the courts and congress had fidelity to the same oath and Constitution they could act instead of the POTUSA in question.
This topic needs a new thread.
Any one here remember there were two ceremonies?
Cited Office holders had a paper trail with people lining up to say they were there at the birth (doctors, nurses, hospitals, county clerks , ... )
Fact Number Ten
Congress doesn't have anyone with enough intestinal fortitude to lead or even allow challenges to Barack's legitimacy either...
Fact Number Eleven
The real reason for no challenges being allowed by the legal elites is fear of the burning down of our major cities, terrible disorder and rioting and/or another civil war (for real...).
BDS huh... too bad.
Problem is that you use logic and facts
That really upsets liberals because they get a brain cramp and then can’t process anything. Their next step is to resort to calling you a racist.
It ain’t much, but it’s all they got!
I like line of reasoning. I’ll even pass it along. But the libs aren’t gonna like it for the above stated reasons.
No one - absolutely no one WITH STANDING in America - wants to be blamed for starting the race war that would result in trying to remove this most historic President in our history.
We don’t have rule of law anymore. We have rule by thuggery.
Bookmarking.
Not one. Due to their oath of office, they have standing to address it and no action thus far.
Obviously they pulled the qualification out of their butts. Unfortunately, it is done and over until some state passes a law requiring proof of being a Natural Born Citizen or until he is impeached and tried.
Congress has the only real say in this from what the constitution says. States can force proof for qualification to be on the ballots. But after they certify the vote totals and send the electors to vote in the Electoral College and that vote is sent to the Congress it is Congress’ call with no appeal.
They are just trying to time the riot from Obama’s supporters to happen at the same time. That's why they are doing all the can to hide the eligibility problems, it is too soon to have that riot now. Better to get all the bad blood out at once. They really do have our best interests in mind.
If there has been as you say an "out of the butt" qualification, we the people have the right to know all about it. No one in Congress is willing to step forth with this "proof of eligibility" nor testify on behalf of its existence. This is why I think that we need to pressure Congress to step forward and answer this question. If there is no answer, there is no "qualification".

It is particularly disgraceful that the Senate had the gall to ask McCain for proof and ignores this little prick’s refusal to show the same documentation.
Say what you will about McCain but he sacrificed a large slice of his life for this country while Urkel was who knows where.
No PROOF of eligibility equals a Usurper.
