Sheesh, it's Bush and the Republican's fault on this too?
This is really a non-issue, IMO. Rhetorically, what do you suppose the outcome would be even it is discovered that he was born outside the U.S.; take away the election results? Rightly or (in this case) wrongly, the sheeple spoke on November 4th to change power (thanks again President Bush, you phutz!). And, besides, Obama’s mom was an American citizen so it would seem that he would still have a decent claim to the throne!
Well put, we HAVE to increase momentum on this. I signed a petition here in Wa State but it got dismissed.
This is a news flash, since when is the RNC required to vet a liberal candidate? I know the DNC vetted the Republican candidate and got him the nomination, but come on now blaming this on the RNC is typical liberalism.
The country has been bamboozled and there’s not a damn thing we can do about it.
I agree and also somewhere on one of the BC threads he apparently said on a ‘bar exam’ application he had never gone by any other name... That would present a big problem if he is named other that BHO on that hidden BC.
I wonder how Berg found out there was an issue? BHO is ripe for blackmail by chance anyone else has the proof of his lack of honesty...
The correct way (IMHO) to go about this now would be to request a Writ of Mandamus in every state, directing the secretary of state to determine eligibility of candidates prior to the secretary certifying the results to the electoral college.
I agree. This has a better shot. Will the SCOTUS have the guts to determine it?
His dear mother was about as anti-American as they come, which was learned at her Daddy’s knee judging by the company the family kept (communist Frank Marshall Davis to name one from “Dreams from my BabyDaddy”). She lived her early adult life out of the country, and probably came back to the USA only after she burned all her bridges overseas. The citizenship law in effect when BHO was born, due to his mother’s age (18), would not grant automatic citizenship if she had delivered him intentionally in another country (Kenya and Canada have both been mentioned). BHO was adopted by Soetero, and he used his Indonesian passport when he went to Pakistan. So, not even an American passport (which would have required a full-blown birth certificate). Everything about BHO’s background that is relevant has been sealed from public scrutiny. It’s none of our business, we’re told. If that’s the case, why have any rules or laws at all if your cause is “greater” than our laws? Thank you very much to the 64 million suckers who bought all this.
Even though he is not a practicing lawyer at present, the Bar application is probably signed under oath. Lying under oath is perjury. Perjury is a felony.
I believe that the “lack of standing” comes from the fact that we don’t directly elect the POTUS but instead we elect electors to select the president and vp. That said, I have heard that among the several lawsuits demanding the Obama prove his eligibility, some have managed to get some of the electoral college electors to sign in as plaintiffs.
Now, I don’t see how ANY judge could rule that the electors have a “lack of standing”.
Thanks for the new tag!
Oh so if he lied on the application, and that lie is exposed, it is immaterial unless he starts practicing law? Well I guess he could then reapply for the bar in another state and no big deal then right?
Why do we even have a constitution?
Yes, you are correct. Look how they went out to fine tax leans and plumber licenses for "Joe the Plumber". Look at the 30 or more lawyers and tons of press that were dropped into Wasilla, Alaska!
The American Press corp is not even a shaddow of what it once was. They have no honor. No journalist integrity. They are un-American.
IIRC Both BO and MO have allowed their law license to expire.
