So you are saying that the Congress and President violating the constitution, is not against the law because of a technicality? Maybe Judge Carter will disagree. I hope so.

You can not get a hearing in Congress to enforce the constitution when it is the Congress violating the constitution by refusing to check Obama’s natural born citizenship as required by the constitution. They voted him in without responsibily and professionally checking to see that he is qualified! They certified that he is qualified without checking to see if he is! Like voting on a bill w/o reading it...only worse because the constitution lets them do that massive act of irresponsibility.

This is not the Watergate hearings where Nixon was accused of crimes and the Congress aired the findings of a special prosecutor for political reasons. People who did commit legal crimes in Watergate went before a JUDGE for trials unless they were constitutionally pardoned by Ford. Congress won’t appoint a special prosecutor to see if they committed a crime in this instance because the violation was “bi-partisan.”

This case is where the Congress and the President have not fulfilled the requirements of the constitution - assuring that the President is a natural born citizen. The constitution is the law of the land. By not doing their duty as constitutional officers, they have violated their constitutional duty. They have put themselves and Obama above the law. The Judicial Branch exists for a reason, Pete.

And now the lawyers, who are supposed to protect the constitution, are thumbing their noses at the people spouting legal technicalities that is supposed to make inequality before the law fine and dandy.

Don’t buy the modern Marxist attitude that only the inner circle of “educated” and connected people (The Party or the Oligarchy) are permitted to dictate to the “stupid” people what the constitution means as not officially amended or changed by the elite. We - the people - have permitted much more constitutional messing than we should have over the decades. This is why we have all this corruption because we have failed to keep it in check. You, too, Pete!

Tyler’s detractors (who, ironically, would eventually include many of the Cabinet members and Congressmen who had legitimized his presidency) never fully accepted him as President. He was referred to by many nicknames, including “His Accidency”, a reference to his having become President not through election but by the accidental circumstances regarding his nomination and Harrison’s death. Tyler never wavered from his conviction that he was the rightful president, however; when his political opposition later sent correspondence to the White House addressed to the “Vice President” or “Acting President,” Tyler had them returned, unopened.”
