An elected & executive cannot be removed from office over eligibility alone. It’s simply not constitutional. Suppose the cold-casers proved beyond any doubt that Obama was born on the floor of a mud hut in Kenya, and had video.
All that could be accomplished, is to create more anger and resentment of Obama among those of us who already oppose him, and give the Dims an opening to attack Cruz.
Without congressional action, Obama is here until he’s replaced by the electorate.
Timing IS everything, and now is too late.
Should have been “elected & serving”
“An elected & executive cannot be removed from office over eligibility alone. It’s simply not constitutional.”
It would provoke an impeachment, IMO or a constitutional crisis and there is no precedent. Knowing that legal scholars can disagree over anything I wouldn’t be so confident as you are that he can’t be removed on eligibility alone. But I expect he would be impeached for lying. That would be much more likely.
“All that could be accomplished, is to create more anger and resentment of Obama among those of us who already oppose him, and give the Dims an opening to attack Cruz.”
I don’t follow your logic. I don’t see why that would be. Look at what happened to Nixon. When evidence came out that he had been lying and covering things up, his own party turned on him.
I Barry has been lying about a foreign birth, Ted Cruz has a better claim on eligibility and Dems wouldn’t be able to attack him without damning Barry.
