Why do you allege it was a "well known fact"? It most certainly was NOT well known. It has only recently been discovered that Chester Arthur lied about his Fathers date of naturalization. The original objections to his legitimacy were based on his supposed birth in Canada.
Chet was exceedingly well connected, having been Collector of the Port of New York, a plum patronage job that made him and his cronies many millions.
IMNSHO, Chet laid out the path for Barry to improve upon!
"Chet," was CAA's nickname, I think.
They worked out fine. For him.
In 2006, then-Senator BHO, Jr. spent months in Kenya, with that slimy toad Dick Morris at his side, campaigning for Raile Odinga. In addition to stirring speeches on the stump for the man he claims as a Luo cousin, The then-Senator also raised well over $1 Million for Odinga's campaign coffers.
Odinga's platform, you ask?
Sharia Law in breakaway Islamic provinces,
the expropriation of Christian-owned farm s,
the expulsion of Christians from the government of Kenya,
the deportation of all missionaries.
When Odinga lost the internationally monitored election for President of Kenya, the then-Senator for Illinois lobbied the State Department and the UN incessantly to let Odinga in as Prime Minister in a power-sharing arrangement. That was done, but not before Odinga's cohorts massacred several thousand Christians from non-Luo tribes, "necklacing" them with old tires filled with gasoline, burning them alive in their churches, and kicking them off their farms, displacing more than a quarter-million people.
The once-productive Kenyan agricultural sector immediately nosedived and plunged the country into famine requiring massive international assistance. Odinga was an honored guest at his cousin's inauguration ceremonies. Yes, Jacquerie, this immediately preceded the POTUS' reception of the Nobel Peace Prize.
Crime? A clear-cut violation of the Hatch Act, forbidding elected officials from interfering in foreign elections. It was a crime against the Christians of Kenya, and against humanity. Like Bill Ayers' murder of San Francisco police officers, it is a crime likely to be ignored rather than punished.
Hyperbole has been avoided here. BBC newsreels documented the tragedy, which was completely ignored by the American MSM. It still is. The man took office with the blood of these people on his hands. BTW, his efforts in Kenya were financed by the Clinton Foundation which passed the funds through from one George Soros.
That is our President. If the best we can do is remove in 2012, so be it, but there are some matters I can neither forgive, nor forget.
Had he lived, Dante's third volume would have been entitled "Detroit."
In regard to your reference to the powers of the states in certifying the eligibility of Presidential candidates: you are absolutely right. Obama coulda, shoulda, woulda been torpedoed by any one of the 50(7) Governors, AG's, Legislatures ... and unlikely as it may be, still can be.
Way too many think courts can order anything, and their power is right next to the executive order clause in the Constitution that gives Hussein unlimited power.
Our republic is so beat up, not a single state in 2008 could muster the courage to ask Hussein to prove he is NBC or prevent electors from voting for him until he did. 2012 will unfortunately and obviously be no different.
“A professor of Constitutional law tells us Vattel’s page 101 section 212 is used in the Constitution.”
Barack Obama and his supporters claim Obama was a profeswsor of Constitutional law, too.
