I realize that this thread have may have already played itself out for the most part (what can I say? I was gone all day playing golf instead of working), but since no one else seems to have weighed in on what I consider a gaping hole in your argument, here goes:

"I think it far more likely the plaintiff believes it should make a candidate ineligible, and I might even agree with her.

Why, because he would be a probable felon? Not until convicted, but that overlooks an even more salient point:

"But I really doubt the US Constitution has anything at all to say about SS#s with regard to eligibility."

This is where you're fantabulously, utterly, discombobulatedly

If if can be legally established/challenged that Dude is using a fraudulent identity, then it means that we don't know who this guy really is. And if it is determined legally that we don't know who this guy really is, then that would set wheels in motion to get to the bottom of just who exactly this guy really is.

THAT's why the SS# issue is important. Perhaps it will turn out that the guy is a Natural Born Citizen somehow but a fraud and felon. Perhaps it will be discovered that he was actually born abroad to a mother too young to confer any kind of US citizenship at all and we have our first Illegal Alien pResident. Aren't illegal aliens known for being prone to identity theft? I seem to recall the "Obama" clan having issues with that sort of thing. . .

One way or another though, if the guy is found to be an identity thief, then the real truth about his birth and life narrative will come out.

M' Kay?

Thanks to Smokeyblue for the post, and to BD for the Ping.

OK, I agree that the SSN issue, if it demonstrates that he is not a US citizen, let alone an NBC, then becomes a constitutional issue.

But generally speaking, crimes committed by a presidential candidate do not automatically render him ineligible, according to the Constitution.

The bottom line is that every single aspect of this guy’s fraudulent existence need to be investigated as far a humanly possible, and NOTHING should be taken off the table, in spite of all the parrots who say “nothing will come of it, so let’s just move on and focus on the economy”.

Wrong. We have to focus on everything.

Very happy all of you folks survived the fireworks!

This has been a learning-experience thread. Now we in the choir must leave the church and go out amongst the heathen. If we cannot convert them, perhaps we could distract them on Election Day with a huge Lindsey Lohan Concert ... free tattoos ... Free English Lessons ... anything we can do to cut into Obama's IMHO insurmountable lead amongst the stupid/and/or unpatriotic in the major states, of whom there may be enough to doom the republic.

and PING!.
