To: Constitutionalist Conservative

It may have been 4 years ago, but I do remember objection being raised on the senate floor when GW Bush was certified in 2004 (I think by Barbara Boxer). Then an investigation ensued by congress.

Although I am a product of the public school system I also remember somewhere in Article 2 of the Constitution (or perhaps 14th amendment?) that an objection to the eligibility of the candidate for president is raised when the electoral college meets (or the HOR if there is no majority vote in the EC). Unfortunately, I don’t have a lot of time to read up on this but if anyone does I would be interested to know what he/she finds.

Perhaps its time for us to approach our legislators with this issue and demand they raise objection at the certification should Obama win the EC.

Yes, objection can be raised on Jan. 6th, 2009 in Congress, if Obama wins and does not provide sufficient documentation beforehand.

Obviously the strategy of Obama/Democrats is to keep this issue under the radar.

If Representatives and Senators have subpoena powers in this case, attempts could be made to secure documents if Obama becomes President-elect.
