That’s not called evidence, Uncle Chip, its called opinion, conjecture, wild and crazy ideas, and beyond. I have been following this closely since those heady days when the COLB was first demonstrated to be a forgery. There are some very good theories out there, some show great imagination and a careful dissection of the available information. I have a few favorites myself, ones that are plausible and could easily explain Obama’s bizarre behavior.

There’s probably a pony in there somewhere, but until real evidence emerges its just a bunch of poop. You are perfectly entitled to your own opinion and you might even be right. But you are not entitled to proclaim your unsubstantiated opinion as fact and slander everyone who does not agree with you. Produce some evidence or express your opinion and give the reasons you believe it to be so. The fact is that Obama is the legitimate President of the United States. An allegation, not yet proven as fact, is that he may not have been eligible for the office.

If these allegations were to be proven, then another hurdle comes into play. No court has the power to remove him. Federal Marshals cannot go to the White House and frog march Obama away. The only means to remove Obama short of the next election is for the Senate to act on charges of impeachment brought by the House. Don’t hold your breath waiting for that to happen.

BTW, the rumor that I like the best is the one that says that Obama got/renewed an Indonesian passport after turning 18 in order to apply to Columbia as a foreign student, not realizing that by so doing as an adult he surrendered his citizenship. He has since been scurrying around putting that genie back in the bottle and covering his tracks. It fits very nicely what little we know, but of course no one has any evidence supporting it. Its a good one, though. I’m not too keen on the born in Kenya scenarios. Which one do you like?

I think may would say he is not eligible because he is not a natural born citizen, as is required by the constitution.

“No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President”

The constitution does not define natural born but most take that to mean born in this contry of two parents who are citizens. BO does not meet that definition. SCOTUS should take up the case just to clear up and define this.

Why does it not bother you that you cannot answer "yes" to the question:

Is Barack Obama an Article II natural born citizen????

Why???

The courts do have the power to declare him ineligible. If he's ineligible, no one need obey his orders. No military, no civilian. He might himself put out on the street by the Secret Service. If he wasn't President, he couldn't even qualify for a clearance as White House gardener
