Is there a loophole in the Constitution which allows a person born in, say, Kenya, to become President of the United States?

I think the pubbies are looking for a loop hole that would allow this to go through but make the pubblies look like innocent victims. Scum! All of them! They ALL must go!

"Democrats could try to persuade Republican colleagues to back down and withdraw their amendments after several hours or days of voting. With a unified Democratic conference, Reid would need just one GOP senator to cut off the process."

Perhaps the other way is true also. Senators like Lincoln and Nelson in order to try to garner some goodwill back home in their states could vote with Republicans on this one so that having Snowe back down is a moot point.

Good for De Mint. The ‘leadership’ of McConnell and Boehner is pathetic at best and dangerous in most instances.

Let’s see more of DeMint and Pence

What we need then is a crew of Good, Strong, Patriotic, Americans (not RINOS or Politicians) who are willing to face ridicule, abuse, name-calling, subterfuge, and dirty tricks to get to work on this NOW!

I like DeMint, however, I don't think it'll work.

This is the DEMS we're dealing with. Ain't a rule ever been created that they won't break or change to benefit themselves. So look for them to move to close any loopholes by changing the rules or procedures, whilst the state-controlled media demonizes the Republicans for being obstructionist and using dirty tactics.

That said, we can hope...

I’d like volunteer about 100 amendments for my new Senator from Massachusetts to propose.

They won’t do this - pass “healthcare” in reconciliation. Not in an election year. I think this is all big talk to try to mollify their base whackos, but they’ll never try something this heinous in an election year.

We do spend a lot of time giving (often warranted) barbs to congressional/Senate Republicans, but through this 0bamacare mess, they’ve held together quite well. Yes, there was the little teaser thrown out by Olympia Snowe, but for the most part, they’ve done well.

Not to say the GOPers aren’t deserving of some well-placed criticism, but in THIS case, as a whole they’ve done well and stood strong.

To assist the GOP in this important endeavor, I, the non-Senator from Western NY, rise in favor of the following amendments:

1. The Superbowl moves to Saturday, so that any potential hangover does not interfere with the productivity of American workers on a Monday.

2. The Buffalo Bills are given all draft picks for the next 10 years.

3. Creation of a new Federal holiday in honor of Jim ‘Machine Gun’ Kelly, #12, QB, and master of the hurry up offense.

4. That the USDA modify the food chart to show ‘Flutie Flakes’ breakfast cereal as an essential part of your daily diet.

5. The Department of Homeland Security to replace all staff with members of the Bills offensive line up from the 1990’s Superbowl years. Bruce Smith to be appointed head of DHS, because - hey, have you SEEN that guy?

6. For the FCC to label the phrases ‘wide right’ and ‘consecutive Superbowl losses’ as offensive language not permitted on Television.

7. Bills scoring drive victory song “Shout” to replace the National Anthem.

8. In the interest of furthering leadership in America, human cloning to remain illegal with the exception of head coach Marv Levy.

9. As a part of the Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the jumbo-tron at Ralph Wilson Stadium shall be tripled, beer taps installed at the end of each aisle, and tailgate-ready parking made free to the public. NO roof or related structure shall be permitted.

10. Creation of a Senate Subcommittee on the Buffalo Bills Cheerleading. An oversight and review board of the Buffalo Jills. It is important that these proud American young ladies dancing in the red, white, and blue of our great country are carefully selected and closely monitored. I, the non-senator of WNY offer my personal assistance in this regard.

As it turns out, Senate Democrats may not be able to force healthcare legislation through the chamber on a simple majority vote.

It's that "may not" part that worries me. You can bet the demscum has every legal mind and so-called "constitutional expert" working to find loopholes of their own.

These people hell-bent on turning America into the socialist mecca they envision and they won't stop until they reach that goal.
