Thank you for the clarification. I don’t agree, however, as the only way for Obama (or anyone else) to prove their eligibility would be to submit the documents to a court, which would be in the position of verifying it. Further, to submit a false document to a court would, I assume, be a crime of some sort, such as perjury or fraud. In contrast, posting a fake on the Internet does not carry with it the same penalties.

I have nothing against you, but I consider this issue very important and hate to see it minimized. This is not about Obama, as I have stated, but about every candidate having to prove their eligibility. McCain produced documents in response to the same questions.

As you know, the term “natural-born citizen” appears in the Constitution for a reason: To guard against a president who is under foreign influence and putting another nation’s interests ahead of ours. A modern-day example would be the child of two illegal aliens born on U.S. soil. If only birth on U.S. soil were required, we could see this individual elected and then put in charge of enforcing our immigration laws. That would not be acceptable to me.

Pretty obvious, he’s not legit, and he knows it. Columbo would laugh hysterially at the suggestion that he was. Barney Fife wouldn’t even buy it.

They probably discussed their shared experiences at Harvard Law School and their ensuing career paths.

As for why Obama was there, he was invited by Roberts who said he wanted to make it a tradition. Perhaps Alito saw the visit as unseemly.

Roberts and Obama should have used the time to practice the oath.

The joint chiefs should inform the politicians who has all the guns, jets, ships, and armed forces at their disposal

That would be President Obama. Every member of the military serves at his pleasure.

So as it may appear but there could be a point... just sayin'
