I just received a call from Orly Taitz, my attorney in the case seeking proof of Obama's eligibility for the Office of President of the United States. Judge Carter has released a statement declaring that the dates he set for the hearing and trial on the eligibility issue are confirmed, and it will move forward as scheduled. Apparently he was not swayed by the Obama lawyer's arguments.
We’re hoping.
And still praying.
If that is the African International Press, it’s because of their claim of having an interview with Michell Obama but never releasing it. If it is not the same AIP, pls forgive me, I don’t want to get my hopes up.
That was API, not AIP
Wait til it is confirmed. I am sure we all want it to be true (except the trolls who have not shown up yet).
Keeping fingers crossed and a prayer.
Pelosi wouldn’t have to. The GOP would probably introduce it.
Here you go, let’s hear how happy you are that you have been DEAD WRONG and that this is actually proceeding.
The electoral Collage votes on them as a team.
No. Obama allegedgly became POTUS de jure when Congress counted the electoral college votes, and found (as an official Act of Congress) that Obama had received the most votes—as required by the Twelfth Amendment. However, just like any other Act of Congress (usually such are statutes, but not always,) if the SCOTUS renders an official decision that the Act is Unconstitutional, then it retroactively ceases to have any effect or operation. There is never any requirement for Congress to then vote the law away, it's automatically and instantly gone, as though it had never existed.
That's what would happen, were the SCOTUS to rule that Obama cannot Constitutionally be POTUS: He would never have been POTUS in the first place, making it logically and legally impossible to "remove" him (you can't remove someone from an office they have never held.)
Good point for sure. I await confirmation. And discovery...
So are you trying to tell me we get Pelosi?!
Well! This is good news, indeed.
Keep the heat on him. The truth will come out.
You couldn't be more wrong. The Electoral College casts separate votes for the offices of President and Vice-President.
Interesting questions, and certainly there's no precedent to look to for answers. IMHO, if it were established that O didn't meet the qualifications, impeachment proceedings would not be required to remove him from office, as the argument would be that he never legitimately occupied the office.
The U.S. Marshal service is responsible for enforcing the orders of federal courts, so conceivably, if O refused to leave the White House, they would be the agency called upon to march him out of there.
Oh, thanks very much. :) My mistake. I am very glad to know that it’s not the same org..
I’ll wait for details.
But if discovery can begin, then this is huge news.
Is there a possibility that Orly Taitz will be restricted from discussing her findings with the public (either before the trial or at all)?
The challenge with discovery is it is meant to disclose all the evidence the other side plans to present in trial. If the defense has no plans to release anything (ie, force the accuser to prove the case), then there is nothing for the defense to release in discovery. Discovery also primarily revolves around witnesses and what they will testify to (that is where we get depositions from).
Instead of discovery, the proper course would be for the accuser to subpoena the documents they believe would prove the case. Of course, the judge would have to approve the subpoena. This would remove one layer where the defense could just claim they have no plans to present any documents as evidence.
Biden would be out as well. They’d have to vacate the election and put Pelosi temporarily in charge.
AIP? I dunno ... any more confirmation ?
