Don’t be ridiculous. When you apply for a job, you’re required to provide certain documents to prove who you are. The prospective employer is not required to provide documents to prove who you are. The burden of proof is on the job applicant, not the prospective employer. Osama is trying to land the job of President of the greatest nation on Earth. It’s up to him to prove who he is and where he came from. If he can’t or won’t do that, he’s not legally entitled to the job. He’s been caught providing a forged document as proof of his identity and place of birth. No prospective employer would give you a second chance if you did that. Yet we’re giving him the opportunity to clear his name, and he refuses. So how do we solve this dilemma? Elect him, and let bygones be bygones?
I do not believe a candidate has to be qualified to run or to be nominated. My assumption such a restriction would be unconstitutional. Heck, we had a dead man elected to national office. I believe that given the election by the electors of a candidate that is not qualified, congress would have to determine whether he is qualified and if not appoint the VP elect. Would a rat congress look hard?
I assume that Senator Obama has provided these documents to the Federal Election Commission; however, we don’t have the same right to demand these documents because we aren’t the electoral officials. I would suspect should be become President-elect, then we have standing to challenge his eligibility for the Presidency.
