One more thing.
In the unlikely circumstances being discussed here, Biden would indeed ACT as President until a President was qualified. (20th Amendment)
I have. In several States, electors are obligated by law to vote for the ticket that won. There are over 270 of the legally obligated electors to vote for the Obama/Biden ticket, even if the former falls off. Constitutionally, that would put Biden in the position, as the Constitution states in Article II. McCain did not win enough legally obligated electors to reach the 270 threshold, nor are there enough electors from States who don’t have the legal obligation and can swap their votes (on another thread, we figured that, best case scenario, if all electors who aren’t legally obligated to vote for the winning ticket swapped, McCain would only have around 230 electoral votes.)
Ooops. I did not see your post until after I had posted again.
Thanks.
Isn’t he the same guy who’s trying to move $15 Million into this country from Nigeria and needs our help?
It’s plausible that the Israelis are trying to find the truth of the origins of BO. Didn’t BO endorse the Saudi peace plan for Israel? The Plan is for Israel to retreat back to pre-1967 borders - that is unacceptable terms for them.
XXXXXXX also sent a message that there’s a sick kid collecting business cards and we should all send one. Of course, the name of the sick kid is XXXXXXX.

Supposedly - UK and European intelligence know he was a born in Kenya. Africans supposedly know it too.
The question is what is Rham Emmanuel’s story?
“There’s that word “hope” again.”
SNORT!
I wouldn't think so if the outing were to happen before Hussein is sworn in. I'm not sure what the constitutional remedy is for a president elect that doesn't, or can't take office for any reason.
If true, and they have the evidence, it makes Obama a target for blackmail.
20th Amendment, section 3
I finally linked the Constitution on my profile for easy access;
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
AMENDMENT XX
Passed by Congress March 2, 1932. Ratified January 23, 1933.
Note: Article I, section 4, of the Constitution was modified by section 2 of this amendment. In addition, a portion of the 12th amendment was superseded by section 3.
Section 1.
The terms of the President and the Vice President shall end at noon on the 20th day of January, and the terms of Senators and Representatives at noon on the 3d day of January, of the years in which such terms would have ended if this article had not been ratified; and the terms of their successors shall then begin.
Section 2.
The Congress shall assemble at least once in every year, and such meeting shall begin at noon on the 3d day of January, unless they shall by law appoint a different day.
Section 3.
If, at the time fixed for the beginning of the term of the President, the President elect shall have died, the Vice President elect shall become President. If a President shall not have been chosen before the time fixed for the beginning of his term, or if the President elect shall have failed to qualify, then the Vice President elect shall act as President until a President shall have qualified; and the Congress may by law provide for the case wherein neither a President elect nor a Vice President shall have qualified, declaring who shall then act as President, or the manner in which one who is to act shall be selected, and such person shall act accordingly until a President or Vice President shall have qualified.
Section 4.
The Congress may by law provide for the case of the death of any of the persons from whom the House of Representatives may choose a President whenever the right of choice shall have devolved upon them, and for the case of the death of any of the persons from whom the Senate may choose a Vice President whenever the right of choice shall have devolved upon them.
Section 5.
Sections 1 and 2 shall take effect on the 15th day of October following the ratification of this article.
Section 6.
This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years from the date of its submission.
We could do worse than MI-6 having our president by the, umm, err, short hairs. It could be an improvement in fact.
Hey I was the first Tin Foil hat dude to float this on 11/5/08 .............................
am not wearing a tin foil hat—
I think that the Israelis may be the key to the birth certificate. If BO does something against their interests what is one way to get BO out of office. I think the Mossad has many ways to get the birth certificate. Again I never wear a tin foil hat or see black helicopters just a thought
So I am the nut that wants the credit!!!!
I just noticed this only applies if the President Elect (not the President-Designate, which we now have) DIES. This does not cover if the President Elect is disqualified, but lives.
You did not just make a flip remark as so many do. Sorry I reacted that way.
I think you are correct in the figures, but do you believe Hillary would not find a way to force another ballot? Find another rule? Find a state court to rule her way? She has been counting those votes since spring.
My only concern about this whole citizenship issue is that I can not believe she would not have used it during the primary, if she had a way to prove it. I imagine her team is watching and planning now.
You did not mention the time before the electors vote. The DNC may control that period of time.
After Inauguration is another time frame to consider. I have read the rules on that too. Congressional authority seems clear.
