“”trying to get Obama out by challenging his citizenship is probably not worth the investment in time and energy.””

Trying to get the truth out and upholding the Constitution takes to long and is too hard.

We have a large number of Unconstitutional things happening with this administration.

Birth place and Health Care are but two. Which one is more important right now, January 2010?

In your opinion, what is the constitutional method for removing him from office at this point? The Constitution explicitly provides only one way to remove a sitting president, impeachment by the House and trial and removal by the Senate. Given the composition of Congress, this just ain't gonna happen.

It is conceivable a massive electoral swing could result in a significant GOP majority in the House and potential impeachment, as only a simple majority is required. However, I don't think it is even mathematically possible for there to be a 2/3 GOP majority in the next Senate.

The only other apparent option would be a lawsuit going to the Supreme Court, which would then rule on the case.

I contend that giving the judicial system the extra- if not un-constitutional power to remove an elected president is perhaps as dangerous as allowing an ineligible official to serve out his term.

Do we really want the Supremes as the ultimate authority in every conceivable situation? We're moving in that direction, and a lawsuit of this type would accelerate that movement, IMO.

I've even seen some suggestions that the military should remove him as being unqualified. I think most Americans, even most birthers, can recognize this as a contender for the worst idea in American history.

Those are your words not mine as you can see above. If you think you have the proof and you can get it through the courts in less than three years have at it.
