I’ve been thinking about this BC issue and how Obama is trying his hardest to make it appear that he is already the actual President. I think he’s doing that on purpose to reinforce the idea and image of a President Obama. IF the Supreme Court should pursue the BC issue, and IF Obama is unable to produce absolute proof of his legitimacy, then most people will likely say, “So what? He’s already the President! Forget about it.”
I thought the EXACT SAME THING. Look at the proliferation of press coverage, press conferences—for someone not even inaugurated.
They want him dug in hard in the public’s mind if an effort to throw him out arises...so the opposition will be even more fierce. I think this is a certainty.

There are provisions in the Constitution to address the issue of President-Elects who are not eligible. Forgetting about it is not an option. It won’t go away until SCOTUS makes a ruling one way or the other.
not confirmed until the electoral college and congress.
Yes, time is not on our side with this issue. I wonder if the supreme court will have the courage to stand for the constitution. The most likely outcome will be that they somehow split the baby in Solomonic fashion. It might be something like, “Obama can be president because he won the vote, but from now on no one else like that will be allowed to proceed forth.” I wouldn’t put it past them.
