I realize that, but if a nominee for POTUS were a subversive, not that Obama is, but if such were true, is there no mechanism by which the public can be informed. It has always bothered me that federal elections require no back ground investigations and undoubtedly there have been security risks in Congress. I know that in the 60’s there was a card carrying member of the Cosa Nostra who danced on his boss's string, in the House from NJ - probably more.
