As to the electoral college results, I account for them as part of the process to becoming President. The Twentieth Amendment, Section Three is part of the process as well and follows the Electoral College portion. A qualification is STILL required. Congress neglecting to do their duty does not make "not qualifying" legal.
The President-Elect qualifies under the 20th Amendment when that person’s electoral votes are certified by both Houses of Congress. Obama’s were certified without objection.
Just because it is someone’s personal opinion that Congress didn’t do its job doesn’t make it so.
There have been 226 state and federal court challenges to Obama’s eligibility, 97 state and federal appellate court rulings and 26 appeals to the Supreme Court of the United States. Not one ruling over the last seven years of court challenges has ever found him to be ineligible for the office he holds.
A federal judge who is a former U.S. Marine Corps First Lieutenant who won the Bronze Star and the Purple Heart at the Battle of Khe Sahn in Vietnam ruled in Barnett, Keyes et. al. v Obama, et. al., Judge David O. Carter, U.S. District Court for the Central District of California:
“The Court observes that the President defeated seven opponents in a grueling campaign for his party’s nomination that lasted more than eighteen months and cost those opponents well over $300 million. Then the President faced a formidable opponent in the general election who received $84 million to conduct his general election campaign against the President. It would appear that ample opportunity existed for discovery of evidence that would support any contention that the President was not eligible for the office he sought. Furthermore, Congress is apparently satisfied that the President is qualified to serve. Congress has not initiated impeachment proceedings, and, in fact, the House of Representatives, in a broad bipartisan manner has rejected the suggestion that the President is not eligible for office. See H.R. Res. 593, 111th Congress. (2009) commemorating, by a vote of 378-0 the 50th anniversary of Hawaii’s statehood and stating “The 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama, was born in Hawaii on August 4, 1961.”—October 29, 2009
And this is exactly right. Neither does it excuse all those State Officials that glossed over their duty to insist on valid proof of a candidate's eligibility.
What this goes to show is that a large Media assault can cow a lot of people into rolling over and failing to do their jobs.
