It’s not my opinion.

It’s the law.

I suggest you go to:

Minor v. Happersett (1875) has been used 25 times by subsequent Supreme Courts to determine rulings in other cases. It isn’t dicta or someone’s rambling discourse.

It’s the law, and the Democrats who did this committed treason.

I'm familiar with your argument.

See if you can find in our Constitution some role in the selection of presidents. If, despite the lack of any textual support for the Supreme Court to become involved, you feel that they should do so anyway, ask yourself if the Court has ever shown any inclination to become involved. See if you can find any Supreme Court opinion in which the Court has ever even hinted that it has the power to disqualify presidential candidates because the Court does not believe the candidate is eligible.

Assuming that you believe that our current president is obviously not eligible to be president, ask yourself whether recent conduct of our Supreme Court indicates that the Court agrees with your analysis and also believes that it is empowered to disqualify candidates it believes to be ineligible. Would the justices have volunteered to attend the last two inaugural ceremonies if the justices believed that Obama is some sort of obviously ineligible usurper? Would the Chief Justice volunteer to administer the oath of office twice? What does this kind of conduct tell you about how the Supreme Court views its own role in the selection of presidents? How stupid do you think the justices would feel telling everybody now that they quietly stood by for five years watching an obviously ineligible person pretend to be president? And, that they attended his inaugural ceremonies? And, that they swore him in? Do you sense some sort of problem here?

I believe that the Constitution empowers electors to apply the eligibility standards and to choose our presidents. If you want the electors to apply your precise definition, then send them a copy of your argument. Don't waste any more time on Supreme Court opinions in this area than you spend on reading the other materials that many people here at this website have cited and linked. Remember that you help pick the electors who pick our presidents. So, keep reading and doing the other good things you're doing.

Just follow the Constitution and everything should work out fine. Prince Charles is not going to come over here and win any elections. You have my personal guarantee!!

Good luck! ;-)
