I've got a simple idea: Let's give up on the Constitution.
I know, it sounds radical, but it's really not. Constitutional disobedience is as American as apple pie.
For example, most of our greatest Presidents -- Jefferson, Lincoln, Wilson, and both Roosevelts -- had doubts about the Constitution, and many of them disobeyed it when it got in their way.
To be clear, I don't think we should give up on everything in the Constitution. The Constitution has many important and inspiring provisions, but we should obey these because they are important and inspiring, not because a bunch of people who are now long-dead favored them two centuries ago.
Unfortunately, the Constitution also contains some provisions that are not so inspiring. For example, one allows a presidential candidate who is rejected by a majority of the American people to assume office. Suppose that Barack Obama really wasn't a natural-born citizen. So what?
Then Uncle Joe Biden is likely the new president. Be very careful about what you wish for........I've been there and done that.
Recommend Rat Island, Alaska, Aleutian Chain, (Hawadax), for all Executive and Congressional personnel during the rest of this presidents term.

The REAL question should have been: “What difference does it make?,” as in the illustrious words of Hillary Clinton.
I HOPE that the writer was TRYING to get a response, to start making the case that Obama/Soetoro/Sutoro/Soebarkah/Bounel is NOT elligible, nor are Rubio, Jindal, Santorum, McCain, and Ted Cruz-—all of whom I like, except for McCain.
