Nothing in the Constitution supports that. If Obama is found to be ineligible then the 20th Amendment provides the means to replace him.
I was guessing government, in some sort of joint degree between the Law and the K Schools. Chemistry would be quite impressive indeed.
If the SCOTUS skips the review we will never know the truth.
Unfortunately politicians base their campaigns all too often on lies. We don’t like it. But we can’t seem to make them accountable.
Mr. Vieira cited a fraud ruling in a 1977 case called U.S. v. Prudden, which he feels applies in this case.
“Silence can only be equated with fraud when there is a legal and moral duty to speak or when an inquiry left unanswered would be intentionally misleading,” the ruling reads. “We cannot condone this shocking conduct ... If that is the case we hope our message is clear. This sort of deception will not be tolerated and if this is routine it should be corrected immediately.”

The actual election is the Electoral College. We have had one candidate die before they voted and they still voted for president. It would be the right thing to do to have a new election, but that is not the Constitutional option. That remedy is for the EC/Congress to fix it before January 20 and succession to fix it after.
maximum chaos bump....
Biden is a natural born citizen. His candidacy isn't based on any lie - at least none which cover up Constitutional violations. If Obama is found to be ineligible then Biden will almost surely take his place.
11th Civil War? Dang, been asleep too long. That Turkey musta really done a number on me...
Yes, dying and fraud are two different things.
Shame on Barry Soetoro, aka Barack H. Obama, for knowingly putting the country through this.
DOes anyone think that he DOESN’T know he is not eligible.
He even said as much to Keyes during a discussion of where he was born. His response was, what difference does it make, I’m not running for president. That was in 2004.
Well, now he is. He did this to us.
I dunno...probably a mixture of cynicism and the loss of faith in our laws actually being upheld by politicians and the courts which I can certainly sympathize with, and problbly a few trolls too.
But like I posted earlier, if this isn't settled one way or another, there really is nothing left, anything goes from now on
20th Amendment
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 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.
*The dems would need another primary and new general election since Hillary can claim she would have been nominated*
And today when they announce her choice as his SOS she should say she “gladly accepts his offer......pending his proof of eligibility to take the oath of office of POTUS”.
I meant that if Obama’s candicacy is based on a lie and Obama is not a natural born citizen, how can the running mate that he selected be legitimate if the candidate himself isn’t?
Holy Cow! I wonder if that statement was captured on Youtube?
A bunch of these posers voted for the muzzie... of this I am convinced.
LLS
I'd bet so too. I'd also bet Obama intentially dissed Thomas so that he can claim it's a now a personal vendetta, and will ask to have him recused.
Doesn’t Obama have a court order due today to produce his documentation?
I believe you are correct.
Chicago, 1968; Big Dick Daley was running the show.
Obama, 2008. Little Dick Daley is pulling the strings.
Thugocracy!
