Obama also abuses his countries Constitution...Obama is disrespectful to things he has little knowledge of.

Obama regards the constitution as an impediment to his aspirations and goals. Note how often he complains of being unduly constrained by it.

He is PARTICULARLY disdainful of that requirement in Article II, section 1, clause 5 that the POYUS be a natural born citizen...

He’s currently enjoying his third term through his puppets.

I get that especially every time Brandon lets one go, reminds me of him.

In a sane world, that communist homosexual Mohammed Obola would have been blacklisted and airdropped back into Kenya many years ago.
