I think it ultimately makes a difference. The US Constitution is quite clear. You have to be a natural-born citizen to be “eligible to the Office of President.” It seems to me that if it is revealed in, say, June, 2009, that Obama is not a natural-born citizen, then the motion to impeach is essentially pro forma, followed by a pro forma vote. The matter is simply stated and simply resolved. There’s no question.
I know I am being naive. There is no way that the Democrats would give up the office.
I also think that this speculation regarding Obama’s birth is fruitless. I am pretty confident that he meets the natural-born criterion. But if he doesn’t....
"Faithless Electors"It turns out there is no federal law that requires an elector to vote according to their pledge (to their respective party). And so, more than a few electors have cast their votes without following the popular vote or their party. These electors are called "faithless electors."
In response to these faithless electors' actions, several states have created laws to enforce an elector's pledge to his or her party vote or the popular vote. Some states even go the extra step to assess a misdemeanor charge and a fine to such actions. For example, the state of North Carolina charges a fine of $10,000 to faithless electors.
It's important to note, that although these states have created these laws, a large number of scholars believe that such state-level laws hold no true bearing and would not survive constitutional challenge.
I have been, sir, in my reply to you, far more specific than any of your own comments. Put up honest verified facts or be quiet, please. Quit with the black cloud ethos, now.
If he would be disqualified before inauguration, would that leave us with Plugs in charge?
Bump for later reading.
I didn't say it was.
If you are referring to the Electors, from your own post: "It's important to note, that although these states have created these laws, a large number of scholars believe that such state-level laws hold no true bearing and would not survive constitutional challenge."
Then stop with the FUD sowing.
I have absolutely no idea what you are talking / complaining about................
*The Constitutional requirements at this point are meaningless................*
That helps explain why the tape of Obama dissing the Constitution was no big deal to many. This may well be why Obama doesn’t support the Constitution.
I also remember bloggers claiming that if we had the Vital Stat number, we could verify the info on file at the Hawaiian Dept. of Health.
I don’t remember seeing any bloggers post as to whether that was done.
What do you think happens if they split their votes between the two?
It’s really unbelievable, isn’t it?
See your own http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2117603/posts?page=3#3
I am not the only one to warn you on it, either.
We think that what happened is that when he went to Hawaii, they went through the list of early August births until they found a number (and name) that was terminated at some fairly early stage of life and used that number.
But that is just speculation. What may have happened is that Stanley Ann returned from Kenya with Obama and registered his birth on August 8 as a home birth or some other event; that Obama did not possess a copy of the original document because of his several changes of nationality in the interim; and thus the people who posted the forgery did not have the correct number which Obama obtained when he went to Hawaii.
They didn't have a number they could vet before then which is why they blacked out the number on the fake certificate.
My interest is as I always state - family histories. I never thought when I followed Howard Hughes Jr, that one day I would be following a certain senator. I had accessed a site- snarkybytes.com. I hope they will not mind my mention of it. A gentleman, the son of a serving officer and a nurse was kind enough to have his long form of birth shown. It was a scant two years after Obama was born and was in Honolulu.
Now if one goes to item 7c on the long form here is what is above the block that is to be filled in.
7c. County and State or Foreign Country.
Of course it just states for Honolulu. I do not know the circumstances as to why this area is designated. Very useful indeed of course. Having said that, I try to envisualise a vulnerable young woman. She was even only 17 years old when she became pregnant. This is speculation on my part.
Would she have left Honolulu, when her strong right arm was her mother? Still, I think Senator Obama does need to make a statement.
Hmmm all out of identity stealing guides such as child-revolutionaries of the sixties were familiar with, such as Abbie Hoffman’s “Steal This Book”.
It requires the suspension of disbelief.
/coining of Hillary
If ya’ll are waiting for some rumored document or a purported “whitey tape” to save the election at the last moment, then the battle is already lost. The enemy must be defeated on the substance of their ideas not on scurrilous diversions such as this. These things will not sway the party faithful, nor will they cause a huge shift in independents’ votes to your side. The only thing that truly matters is that the truth of this economic morass that the dems have gotten us into is squarely and directly traceable to them! THAT is the NEWS that should be being broadcast across the airwaves! SHOW AMERICA THAT THE FRANK-DODD-OBAMA-ACORN-FREDDIE MAC-FANNIE MAE COALITION IS THE REASON YOUR 401(k) IS TANKING. SHOW AMERICA THAT IF THEY HAND UNLIMITED POWER TO THESE SOCIALISTS THAT 401(K) IS GOING TO BE CONFISCATED FOR THE PUBLIC GOOD!
All this talk of Birth Certificates and Michelle Obama tapes is a complete diversion from the real issues..........
To a liberal, the Constitution is just a hindrance to their quest for unlimited power. Think about it. The ONLY thing between us and totalitarianism is a piece of parchment..............
If no one has a majority, it goes to the newly elected congress in January.
