Constitutionally Bachmann is correct. The constitution lays out eligibility but leaves it up to the party doing the nominating to make that determination.

-- The constitution lays out eligibility but leaves it up to the party doing the nominating to make that determination. --

The word "party" as in "political party" does not appear in the US constitution.

The constitution does not delineate the process for a determination of eligibility, but it assigns Congress the function of counting electoral votes, and the consequences if the "winner" of the electoral process is not qualified.

The US Congress is utterly corrupt and derelict. It is a failed institution.

I agree-and why should she tell the truth about what she REALLY thinks?
We have to play the game like they do; why do we have to be the honest ones? We know she’s ok and we know what she stands for, so she was right to not give him a sound bite-which would have been the ONLY thing to come out of this conversation.

With this crowd, we need to learn that we can’t put all our cards on the table...

Incorrect.

The States hold the elections and it falls to the States to determine eligibility of each person who appears on their ballots. This is one duty of a secretary of state in each of the 50 States of the Union.

When Nancy Pelosi fraudulently and perjurously certified to the State of Hawaii by letter over her signature as Great Stone Head of the DemonRat Party, she arrogated power not hers, and infringed the sovereignty of Hawaii.

Hawaii was not going to allow Obama on the ballot. On the eve of the election, Obama made a pretended trip to Hawaii to "visit Grandma" because she was ailing -- NOT !!!

Actually, he was there to attend a hearing, the subject of which was his appeal of Hawaii's refusal to list him on their ballot. The meeting was secret, with God knows what said by whom to whom, and the result was that Obama appeared on the ballot of capitulating Hawaii.

The secretaries of state of the 50 States, if this issue continues to be aired by Trump et al., may indeed exclude Barack Obama from their ballots in 2012.

And why not? If he in fact is a huge fraud, why not?
