Well that is a consideration, no doubt. I don’t believe anything would spark more outrage by U.S. Citizens than a bald faced attempt to destroy our original constitution. If the left tried this, I think they would find out real quick who holds the power in this nation.

I keep telling my conservative friends...it's not about what you see right now at your feet. It's about what's on the horizon.

Here's my basic premise behind the delay, secrecy and distortion.

Win the nomination - check
Win the general election - check
Be elected in Electoral College - pending, but so far a certainty
Be inaugurated - future, but so far a certainty

After Barry Soetoro has been inagurated:

Then let it be found out that he is ineligible. The democRAT controlled House of Representatives declines to impeach him, or the senate refuses to convict.

There are riots and general mayhem. Martial Law is talked about, but the constitutional convention is proposed to quell the violence.

Some background on 1787. In May 1786, Charles Pinckney of South Carolina proposed that Congress revise the Articles of Confederation.

Article 13 Declares that the Articles are perpetual, and can only be altered by approval of Congress with ratification by all the state legislatures.

The states' representatives to the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia were only authorized to amend the Articles of Confederation, the representatives held secret, closed-door sessions and wrote a new constitution.

So..... such a thing is not without precedent.
