Maybe Jim enjoys the Orly Taitz freak show and her incompetence?

perhaps. Not quite as entertaining as obama trolls pretending to be conservatives though.
I seriously doubt it..seriously! I betcha he wants the truth just like the rest of us. What do you want to bet he wants the prez fully vetted? I’d quit posting on fr for a full day if he says he does not.
Obama has nothing to do with it. It's your lame definition of 'failed to qualify' that is part of the 20th Amendment. You take it as a requirement to check qualifications. The authors of the amendment had a much different view of why it was needed than you do. Link
If Obama is found ineligible then I agree he is removed from office. But at that point it is the 25th Amendment and the provisions contained in it that apply, and not the 20th because Obama is not president-elect.
Who doesn’t want the president fully vetted? Who doesn’t want the truth? I didn’t suggest that Jim doesn’t. I suggested he may enjoy the Orly Taitz freak show.
Some of us just happen to believe that Orly isn’t really after the truth. If she were, she wouldn’t continue her pathethic antics. She’d accept the help of competent attorneys who have offered it, repeatedly. She wouldn’t make a mockery of our system of justice.
See # 131!!!As to your posts, AREO FRITTO!
Thank you for your most Excellent and Appreciated Post! :-)
Here is something to think about: If Bozo really has a legal BC showing he is a natural born citizen, why are these DOJ attorneys arguing that the courts do not have the right to find him ineligible? If he is legal, simply show the BC, easy enough to do if you have one. Anyone who doubts the BC case has no merit needs to use their brains. Bozo is NOT a natural born citizen, otherwise he would have produced evidence of it by now.
Don’t you grow weary of ignoring the fact Bozo hasn’t produced a legal BC yet? That is all one needs to consider, if he is legal then let him prove it.
That explanation was talking about the timing aspects of the election and assumption of office. It did not even discuss section 3’s language, other than to say it eventually spawned the Presidential Succession Act.
BRAVO! That needs repeating over and over.
The purpose of section 3 was to overturn the part of the 12th Amendment that said that in the event that no presidential candidate had a majority then the House would the president. And that if the House had not chosen by March 4th then the vice-president would act as president.
Why rely on your explanation. Section 3 is short and succinct:
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 elect 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.
Ah but a president was chosen by the time fixed for the beginning of the term.
Ah, but he is simply an imposter, if not an NBC. You do not seem to understand he cannot be president without this qualification. If you found out tomorrow that he was really only 29 years old, would you claim him to be president?
Then he needs to be removed. But the 20th Amendment says that if by January 20th a president had not been chosen... The President was chosen. He did qualify by receiving more than the required 273 electoral votes. So the 20th doesn't apply.
Neither of us disagrees that should Obama be found not to be qualified then he is removed from office. Where we disagree is which amendment determines what happens next.
He did qualify by receiving more than the required 273 electoral votes. So the 20th doesn't apply.
The Congress, the courts, the electors, no one, has the ability to over ride the plain language of the Constitution. If Obama is not eligible (and certainly no one checked, but set that aside for now) then the congress has no power to "choose" him. None. They may be duped into thinking they made him president, but they cannot if ineligible. The only thing they would have succeeded in doing is placing an impostor in the oval office.
And it does not take an impeachment to remove an impostor. It only takes the revelation that he is one.
I liked yours best. His was okay too.
