The second exception being that you consider anyone who isn't a Birther to be a liberal, while I can accept that even Birthers can have conservative beliefs.
Barnett v Obama Pre-trial conference January 11, 2010, Trail on January 26, 2010
What double standard? Bush, McLame, Ghore, Clintoon, and Biden voluntarily released certain records, such as their college transcripts and senior thesis; but, there is no LEGAL obligation that they produce anything other than what is required in the disclosure statement under federal and state law. The only double standard is the reaction of the press, but the law itself treats everyone equal. Even the Constitution is silent as to what a candidate for POTUS needs to do to prove that he or she is qualified to serve, which is why the issue is generally addressed at the state level when the candidate's name is placed upon the ballot.
If I, as a citizen of the United States, do not have standing or a right to know the answers to any of those questions, then this country is doomed and the constitution IS just a worthless piece of paper.
You have no "right" to know what a candidate has no legal obligation to provide, and there is nothing in the Constitution that gives you that right simply because you are a citizen.
Steve, my man, you just have to work harder and annoy the right Birthers. Kellyna, MHGinTN, mojitojoe, little jeremiah, Uncle Chip are some of the quickest to scream "TROLL". Get on their list and I guarantee you that fame will be yours.
He isn't spending dollar one of his money. Especially not to fight the myths you just mentioned.
I dumb down to the level of my opposition sometimes.
And if I did, would that mean he'd have to show one? Just because I had my doubts?
Spoken like a true liberal. OK to spend other people’s money to fight your legal battele. Is it okay for Obama to be represented by the DOJ for something he did before he was elected? OK meaning you approve of it!
That...the President had to be a natural-born citizen? Just a guess on my part.
Do you think that someone can be a Natural Born Citizen and only have 1 parent be a US Citizen?
Yes.
Do you think that someone can be a Natural Born Citizen and be born in Kenya when the law at the time did not allow the mother to pass citizenship if SAD and BHO Sr. were married.
No. But I've seen nothing proving Obama wasn't born in Hawaii so the question is irrelevant.
How can you not see that there are serious Constitutional issues with BHO’s birthplace and parents.
Because nothing in the Constitution defines natural-born citizen the way you do.
I have trouble understanding your thought process.
Maybe you just need to try harder?
Placed on the ballot for the general election or for the primary?
Quo Warrento is still around and Donofrio plans on filing in the DC court.
I think people tried to get the issue addressed early but BHO stonewalled and courts did not force Obama to address the issue or show his long form birth certificate.
I can’t believe that there is a 10 day period and after that we must live with the usurper.
No I consider people who are so blind to what the facts are to probley be liberals.
And what you and others do is ignore the facts, typical old guard inside the beltway republican attitude, the election is over, he won, move on.
And that is what has us in the soup we are in. You belong to the McCain/Huckabee wing, correct.
No you can continue to look; I will continue to await with baited breath the time you actually come up with something. Like proof of foreign birth. Absent that I have to accept that Obama is a natural-born citizen as he claims.
You wanna bet? Watch and learn. The President of the United States has a LEGAL obligation to do as he pledged to do, preserve, protect and defend the constitution...
NOT to crap all over it, ignore it completely, or attempt to rewrite it to suit his political agenda.
"I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
Now...if the President fails to do as he pledged to do, he has LEGALLY defaulted on his oath and as such, should be removed from office via impeachment at the very least. Zero has done nothing BUT crap all over the constitution in the past 8+ months. He AND the damned DemocRats. There is a solution and it WILL be implimented. Bank on it.
One of the perks of the presidency. Sue the president and you sue the United States, so the U.S. Attorney handles the defense.
Is it okay for Obama to be represented by the DOJ for something he did before he was elected?
He wasn't sued in these cases until he was inaugurated.
I don't know, NS. That dumbing down you do looks an awfully lot like an involuntary reflex to me. ROFLMAO!
That is the closest thing to an actual legitimate question raised by the whole "Birther" circus.
Going back to original intent, it would seem that the Founders expected the electors to satisfy themselves that the candidate they were voting for was in fact eligible, and that the Congress would confirm the eligibility of the electoral vote recipients when the votes were counted before a joint session of Congress.
