There is no federal law that defines the term “Natural Born Citizen” either. The Supreme Court has not established precedent on who qualifies as being “natural born.”
Several cases testing the definition with regard to Obama went to conference at the Supreme Court and thus far, all have been denied “cert.” Meaning the Justices did not accept any of the cases for a hearing before the full Court.
It takes four justices to agree to “grant cert” or agree to hear a case.

>>> Impeachment is the only constitutional way to get him out now.

You cannot Impeach an illegitimate president, because the legislature is responsible for putting him there!

It would be like Suing yourself for screwing up!

The Judicial Branch must declare him illegitimate and order actions by the executive branch (under the president) to have him removed.

Somebody needs to tell commie Roger Calero this, he's been tossed off the ballot for being born in Nicaragua, most recently for the 2008 Presidential election.

"Eldridge Cleaver was denied ballot access in Cali, in 1968, b/c he wasn't 35 years old."

But, wasn't it the California Secretary of State that denied him a spot on the ballot, and not the party - which if I remember correctly was some strange, unheard of, third party.

So an illegal alien could run for President?

Except NO ONE is demanding to see the proof of the qualifications. It is the supreme law of the land, with ZERO enforcement at this time.

Is this like not being on the guest list for an exclusive party at a nightclub, but the bouncer (the state) thinks you are cute so he opens the velvet rope for you to get in??

> we all know that...the POINT is that states and the FEC
> are NOT requiring proof!

Then they are in violation of the Law and the management needs to be arrested and brought to trial.

Meanwhile, the President must be compelled to show that he meets the minimum Constitutional requirements, age and nation of birth. If he can’t or won’t, he can’t serve.

Of course, getting the touchy-feely jerks running the government to actually obey the Law is an exercise in futility.

In that case, we are no longer a Nation of Laws, we are no longer a Republic, but rather a mob-rule Democracy. The Constitution is rendered de facto null and void, and the Laws are whatever the polls say they are, subject to change with the vicissitudes of the culture, if that’s what you can call it.

Sure you could. He ran for President under fraudulant circumstances. Fraud is certainly a "High Crime or Misdemeanor".

I've read the USC a few times in my life. The only provision for removing a sitting president is impeachment in the House, conviction in the Senate.

BS

What’s the problem, Obama? You have spent close or over a million dollars not to show us your bc. Why not?

If you have nothing to hide; than show it.

Yes, it was the Cali Sec. of State.

But the Cali Sec. of State did not (and does not) require parties to submit documentary evidence to prove a candidate's qualification.

We are talking natural born citizen, not citizenship. Running for POTUS requires it; the House and Senate don’t.

Did Lou get confused.

Roger Calero is a once deported resident alien who was on the ballot as socialist candidate in several states.

That's exactly what it's like. That's exactly what happened.

That means that the FEC can disregard the Constitution whenever they want and no one can do anything about it. Wait, isn't that the goal of every liberal Democrat. To make the Constitution irrelevant and let the government violate it whenever they want.

The states can’t enact Jim Crow laws, either.

A lot of Jim Crow laws are still in effect in several states; that's the origin of most gun control laws that are still on the books.

Such laws have been passed as late as the 1960s (GCA'68, passed to keep blacks from having easy access to inexpensive surplus rifles and "Saturday night special" handguns) and almost none of them have been declared unconstitutional (even though they all probably are).

I think you are “confused.” LOL

Dobbs just said that NO ONE is checking these clowns to see if they qualify to run for POTUS in Illinois!

My thoughts exactly. Let the Republicans take back Michigan, Missouri or Pennsylvania and pass a law requiring that individuals prove they are eligible to be place on the ballot for the office they’re running for. This should put the matter to rest. Florida might be an excellent opportunity to place something like this on the ballot.
