With what birth certificate, if any, did BO establish his eligibility (must be a U.S. citizen in either case) for the public offices he previously held, those of IL state Senate and U.S. Senate? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
That question needs to be asked in courts of law for each state whose respective electoral commissions certified Obama as a US citizen and a proper candidate for the presidency.It is also a question that needs to be asked in Congress of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, both of whom sponsored resolutions that accepted Obama as a qualified ,duly elected
president.
No newspaper or political hack will ever get a genuine response from Obama. The reply to that question must be compelled by due process and pain of perjury, in a venue which has the constitutional authority to decide the issue.
Or it NEEDS to become an generally publicly accepted electoral issue.
Choose your weapon?
Do electoral commissions or Secretary's of State actually do that? Or do they just accept and file the paperwork?
I think there is little doubt they should certify legitimate eligibility, but AFAIK no state actually gives any entity involved in the process the power to do so.
IOW, I do not believe there is any person or group in any state authorized to unilaterally disqualify a presidential candidate as ineligible. Not even after the last four years. Numerous efforts were made to do so in various states, and every one was voted down by the legislature.
And do we really want there to be? Do we want a GOP candidate ruled ineligible by a CT commission, requiring an extended court case to have the ruling overturned?
maybe butter can tell you something about that.
