IMHO, Obama will someday be called "The Illegitimate President".
I’ve told all you people, it doesn’t matter where BO was born, the SC will not allow this to become a Constitutional crisis. They are going to find a way to gloss over it and slide it through, regardless of the truth.
And if anyone is foolish enough to think that, once he is sworn in, it will matter, nope.
You are going to see strong arm tactics that will make the Clintons look like Girl Scouts. The Justice Dept, the IRS and other federal agencies are going to be ruthlessly used to intimidate and silence political opposition. Ironically, it will be everything (and more) of what the tinfoil hat Dummies have accused Bush.
SCOTUS has to know how a bad a hit it will take if it passes on a review now only to have him turn out ineligible later.
RE “McCain would have to be declared the winner.”
This imaginary situation would not help republicans and would hurt them even more than 2006-2008 did with GWB/McCain. Fellow Freepers would be very unhappy with the effects of this.
But it wont happen, the supreme court would refuse the case not wanting to start another civil war. I can hear it now: “Mccain was ‘Selected’ not ‘elected’”, Wait, I heard this for eight years! LOL .
Just because one party’s candidate is invalidated doesn’t invalidate the whole election. The president would be chosen from the remaining candidates.
What is line 2? Looks like it says Honolulu?
They must do the right thing. How could they in good conscience swear him in without proof that he is eligible? The Supreme Court must uphold the Constitution or they are meaningless.
In a sports event, I know-different, but if one side cheats or in this case, one side would be fraudulent, the other side automatically wins. That seems sensible here as well.
The answer to that is obvious, he'll be removed from office and every action he took while president will be invalidated.
President Flim Flam.
Per Congressman Billy Bob if he were declared inelgible before the Electoral College votes Dec. 15th, the electoral college could elect anybody they want. It would probably be
Hillary or Biden, it would not be McCain as most of the electors are Dems.
If it became known he was inelgible after he were sworn in and removed (Fat chance of our Congress doing that) Biden would become President.
I am not sure what would happen if the Supreme Court declared him inelgible after the Electoral College met but before he is sworn in.
What say you Billy Bob? I hope I got this right.
And just how many millions are making reservations even now to be in DC to be witnesses of this public perjury??? It's surreal ---
Line 2 (Place of Birth) Honolulu
No, this clown will have to prove his natural born status one way or another.
No, a new election would be required. Even if we ended up with Pelosi or Hil, it is better than subverting the constitution with Osama Hussein.
Does anyone by chance know what Vieira’s PhD from Harvard is in?
Nope. Biden almost undoubtably, either directly or by vote in the House.
McCain lost. Nothing can change that, so people will just have to get over it. It's a Democratic House and Senate, and the Democrats won the election. Be it Obama or someone else, the next president will be a Democrat.
