Why are so many people so anxious to make Joe Biden president?

I've refrained from commenting on these threads in the past but really, there is no court in America that will hold Obama ineligible to be President. He's taking office January 20, we need to deal with that and not be sidetracked by non-starters like this.

This is not about who would be the best President. That decision was supposed to be made by us last year, and the votes are in. It does not matter who the President or Vice President is; this is large and serious for the future of our country. The Constitution is what our President must uphold, and he must first be eligible to hold the office. We need to clarify the “natural born” definition and make sure that Barack Obama fits it.

Obama has not been elected yet. Biden cannot be Vice President in this case.

The Electoral College can vote for anybody to be President once Obama is disqualified!

We're not. Biden's Secret Service code name might as well be "Poison Pill," as far as that goes.

But, there are future consequences, arising from allowing this to go forward unchallenged. Think of potential, worse, presidential candidates, that could be allowed as a result of precedent.

That is why the more stringent "natural born" eligibility requirement is there, to ensure a President who actually identifies with and cares about his or her own country. The requirement has never been tested in a court of law. Obama will be the first, assuming at least one of the many plaintiffs is found to have standing.

“Why are so many people so anxious to make Joe Biden president?”

Per the 20th amendment, Biden will only be an Acting President (assuming he is sworn in as VP elect, if not he likely disappears).
It is most likely we end up with Hillary, likewise a Marxist, but better than knowingly going forward with fraud.
