If Sen. Martinez is correct that only an opposing candidate or his political party can challenge the qualifications of another candidate, then what else do you want him to do?

Unless the answer is to change the law - which is a good idea, I figure.

I find it amazing how quiet our Congress is about this subject. Not a word or a question.

I would think anyone who takes the would have standing. After all it is the US Constitution we’re talking about.

Stop the BS and get on with it!

Must be a form letter, because I received pretty much
the same thing from Bob Corker.

Actually, it is much better than the response I received from Tom Price (R-GA 6th) who categorically stated that zer0 was born in Hawaii.

Martinez is a moron.

The constitution is the supreme law of the land is the only law that cannot be overturned by a simple vote by the voters. That takes a long slow process of a con con and there’s a good reason it’s slow.

If the voters can simply override the constitution we’re a true democracy and can toss that old piece of parchment out right now. Maybe a burning ceremony in DC so we can put it to rest.

Check The Constitution, Article I, Section 5.

Then read The Federalist Papers #62.

It’s all there in black and white. I have not located any vetting process for President in The Constitution, but I haven’t finished reading all The Federalist Papers.

We are too trusting that a person who is not qualified would have the gall to run for POTUS. And then . . . Barry was born.

I think the explanation for Obama not showing the original birth certificate from Hawaii, which porobably does exist, is simple.
\
It was common practice to put the fathers religion as the child’s religion on the birth certificate.

Barack Obama - Muslim - I believe that’s the dirty secret.
Also it would make him an apostate in the Muslim world, since he turned to Christianity. And we know what the Koran says to do to apostates, ( jihad part deux)

From what the Senator wrote it would seem that only John McCain, Sarah Palin and the other minor candidates have standing.

So, besides Alan Keyes one of the other candidates should be pressured to sue Obama.

So, according to the cite, only McCain, Keyes, or another Presidential candidate, or their respective party apparatus, has standing to challenge? Then the Keyes suit should continue...

This is a critical Constitutional issue and deserves a full and thorough hearing.

It’s time to take back the country.

Interesting post on how/why O-bozo would have a fake Hawaii
COLB.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2203580/posts

“The first task in need of explanation is why would Hawaii aid a known illegal of British birth in illegally obtaining a fake birth certificate? The answer is in 1961 the American public had not yet been herded by Teddy Kennedy and socialists into providing welfare benefits to illegals. Hawaii had a large population of illegals who were slave labor, but were a huge burden to the system in poverty and crime.

The Hawaiian answer, as it was a Democratic state and still is was to start registering all those foreign kids by the thousands. The purpose being to tap into all those federal hundreds of millions then which would profit the state. See all of those poverty programs flowed funds into the pockets of the retailers as the golden goose pipeline. If one makes citizens out of illegals, then Hawaii converts a debt into their asset in obtaining more funds and growing the socialist system which empowers Democratic liberals.”

“Voters have no standing to complain about the participation of an ineligible candidate in an election,

What happened to the consent of the governed?

Me thinks they need to be reminded

Total bullsh*t! Alan Keyes ran against Obama. Based on Martinez' assertion, Keyes would clearly have standing. link

Wasn’t Alan Keyes on some of the ballots? If as a candidate he had status, why is his lawsuit being blown off?

"Courts have further concluded that, short of a challenge by another candidate, it falls to the voters to decide whether a particular presidential candidate is qualified to hold office." If it falls to the voters to decide should they not be informed? Since the majority of Obama's supporters probably had no idea that he is not an American citizen then it seems the election was won on a key point of deception. Should the courts not take this into consideration?

Martinez is a member of the “POTP (Part of the Problem) Club”.
