Here is a fourth. Even if Obama was found to be born in Kenya to an American Mother, I would bet that Pelosi would call a special session and pass an emergency bill to change the four year residency requirement for one parent, retroactively, thus, recognizing Obama’s citizenship by way of his mother.

That’s the one I’m hoping four. Barry would spend the next four years with half the country rightfully calling him an illegitimate president.

This would require an amendment to the Constitution because they can't write an ex post facto law, particularly to benefit a particular individual.

[PLMerite]

It’s a Constitutional requirement. They’d have to amend the Constitution and, boy, would that be fun!

[Gator113]

I would bet that you’re right on this.
