OK, I confess, the title is a bit misleading.
It should read Obama And His Lack Of A Birth Certificate Is About To Make History.
Yesterday, World Net Daily broke the story of Army Major Stefan Cook, who argued that he should not have to deploy to Afghanistan because President Obama has not proven that he is a natural-born citizen, therefore he is unable to serve as Commander-In-Chief.
This is something that will receive little, if any, coverage from the mainstream media.
However, the fact that the U.S. Army revoked the orders of a soldier about to be sent overseas based wholly upon such a claim is unprecedented.
This controversy over Obama’s failure to produce a valid birth certificate has been an ongoing saga.
And all calls for him to do so have either been belittled or ignored by the White House. Which may lead some folks to suspect that the reason he doesn’t simply produce the blasted thing and put this story to rest once and for all is because he doesn’t have one!
About the only attention we have seen regarding this issue was the presentation of a “Certificate Of Live Birth” supposedly issued by the State of Hawaii.
This proves less than nothing, as first, to look at it you would think that a 12-year old made it on their home computer, and secondly is the fact that a child does not have to be born in Hawaii in order for the state to issue such a document to the child’s parents.
Even if this document is legitimate, it is a far cry from an actual birth certificate, and it surely is not proof of where Obama was actually born.
However , there are literally thousands of articles and opinions floating around about Obama’s birth certificate, or lack therof, and I don’t want to bore you with re-visiting the same stories.
Rather, I would like to expound on my claim that Obama’s lack of a birth certificate will make history. Consider the following:
If indeed it is proven that Obama is not a natural born U.S. citizen, and therefore is unable to serve as President, he will not be remembered as America’s first black President, rather history will remember him as the man who was the cause of the biggest Constitutional crisis this country has ever seen!
The question will be raised of what will happen to other troops deployed by Obama, and the troops already serving under orders from an ineligible commander in chief.
Every piece of legislation that Obama has signed since taking office would now be considered under law to be null and void.
Imagine what this would mean to the stock market, financial institutions, the auto industry, as well as every other facet of the American economy.
Not to mention, the people who already accuse the president’s critics of being racists will no doubt try to use this as their proof and stoke racial tensions to the point of riot.
Every appointment he has made, regardless if it was an appointment as a “Czar’, or a Cabinet-level position, would have to be overturned, and it would become the duty of the Vice-President to re-fill those positions.
Which leads to perhaps the most intriguing scenario of all.
The Constitution states that if the President is unable to serve, the Vice-President shall assume the duties of the office.
However, if the man who chose you to be his running mate was found to have been elected to the office in violation of Constitutional law, where does that leave you Mr. Biden?
After all, we (well, some of you poor misguided individuals) voted for the two of you as a team running on the same ticket.
So if it is found that the man who picked you to be his running mate did so in direct violation of federal law, doesn’t it follow that you were also elected to the Vice-Presidency under false pretenses?
Barack Obama. CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN!
When the U.S. military accepts the claim of a soldier that the man posing as Commander-In-Chief has failed to produce his eligibility to hold that title, we may be on the verge of seeing change beyond belief.
Wow, quoting Country Joe. He was one of the Woodstock performers.
You must be a liberal. You must be one of the Woodstock Alumni.
Hmmmm, if I remember correctly some people took some bad acid there....
I think you are doing a far better job making a ‘nuts and sluts’ argument for yourself than I would ever be able to - and certainly than I have, since I never said a single word about your or your condition until after you started accusing me of doing so.
Very good reply. You stated the elephant in the room that nobody seems to see. If Obama is found ineligiable, he is REMOVED from office, not impeached, he does not resign, or quit. Biden was CHOSEN by Obama, not elected into the Vice-Presidency. The 25th ammendment does not apply, rather the 20th. So Biden would TEMPORARILY hold office. He would be very busy, as all of the judgements and signings of Obama would become moot, and finding a starting place again would be time consuming.
The only people who RAN for President with sufficient votes would be McCain, and since he SELECTED Palin, just as OBAMA selected Biden, he would become next in line to become President. It is as if, he were removed from the Presidential race, and the next highest number of votes would take office, which would be McCain/Palin. As McCain was exhaustively qualified in accordance with the 20th Ammendment to the constitution.
Personally, I have watched what McCain has done since losing the race, and he is steadfast in doing what he has always done. Palin has elected to leave the governorship of Alaska, and IMO, has done so, because its a very real possibility, that she has a new jobs about to start.
Bottom line is that the 20th Amendment would apply, but the second place person for the race for the Presidency would assume the duties of the President, while the first place person for the race for VP would continue in that office, unless he could be shown to unqualified.
(Having said all of the above, either a coup would have to happen or one or both of the other branches of government would need to acknowledge that Ø was unqualified for anything PRACTICAL to happen. You know that the Legislative Branch would not do so, particularly under its current leadership. And I think the Judicial Branch's summary treatment of any challenges to Ø's qualifications to date show us what they'd do. So that leaves one option. And I, for one, believe that option is utterly untenable. So we're stuck with him until 2012. Just my opinion)
That explanation is as good as any I've heard so far.
