Please explain how this is so. Trump was elected, then the election was certified by Congress making Trump the President-Elect. If he is thirty-five years old and a natural born citizen and has a legitimate birth certificate proving this there is nothing in the Twentieth Amendment keeping him from taking office except dying before taking the oath.
Not if it’s a touch screen!
So what’s with all of the conjecture in your post #50?
Since it is an instruction to Congress to act, they must know whether or not to act. They must know the answer to BOTH parts of the conditions, the death part and the shall have failed to qualify part. The only way Obama could have proven himself eligible is with a valid, legal birth certificate showing him to be at least thirty-five years old and also a natural born citizen. That he has yet to provide this even after all this time is proof that he does not have one. His fake pdf is not good enough. Congress simply did not do it's duty. This doesn't make Obama a legal President. It makes him a usurper to the office of President, in this case with the full knowledge of a sitting Congress.
So, my post #28 stands as written, relative to the headline, and your commentary was unhelpful.
How about passing some laws requiring that only citizens and people with valid identification be able to vote?
You stated that the Constitution determines eligibility. I simply pointed out how it does so. Congress is given the task by the Constitution which is why so many legal attempts by individuals came back with a lack of standing ruling. The Constitution says this job belongs to Congress. They did not do their job.
