Proof of eligibility FROM Obama was due in 2008. It was waived. So now proof is demanded from those who maintain he isn't.
E.G. Obama had to present proof of eligibility before he was admitted to the Bar of the State of Illinois. Once admitted, the Bar later had to present proof that he had lied in that presentation. The State Bar has a process for handling those who are wrongly admitted, and an entire of range of disciplinary measures and sanctions. The Federal Government apparently does not.
Yep...looks pretty full to me.
They've been coming out in droves the past couple of days, haven't they?
That ZOT button is getting a workout.
The Constitution says flat out POTUSA must be a natural born citizen. I don’t see that in an honest unbiased( many judges do not meet this standard) that the burden of establishing such is any less on the nominee than on the general public.Indeed common sense says the person seeking the office is more obligated than any voter to make the proof to establish eligibility for public acceptance. Though it is argued that the Constitution does not explicitly define a natural born citizen that argument does not deal with the the stack of documentation that was available and used when the Founding Fathers embedded the the explicit requirement into the Constitution. Obama is not the first person who used trickery to circumvent the fidelity of the Constitution. This just shows how difficult it is to make an ‘ironclad’ contract/regulation/law immune from shysters and usurpers.
The article, in and of itself, is pretty good IMO. I can understand why keeping it quiet would be desired.
We tried and hanged people at Nuremberg for following illegitimate orders.
The UCMJ forbids us from following orders which are “improper,” or from an illegitimate source.
I have been running ragged the last few days and will admit I didn’t read the whole thing. I will now and report back. The lack of formatting in the beginning set me off, eyes aren’t what they used to be.
Okay, read the article. I disagree entirely. His lack of eligibility is very important, just as important as his vile destructive and Caligula like agenda.
Why? Because to allow an ineligible president to stay without removing him sets precedent, spits on the Constitution, and from now on laws mean nothing, rules mean nothing, the Constitution means nothing.
Everyone in DC knows he’s not eligible. And the law professor crap is crap. Most lawyers are leftist aholes. The justice system is corrupt. So just because no one would win (theoretically) it should be dropped.
I totally disagree that it’s not important.
The fraud in the WH should have to prove he is who he says he is. Why should it be everyone else’s responsibility? Just like for any job, the applicant is supposed to bring their resume and documents.
Zero’s entire life is a myth. Who knows where he was born? What nationality he holds now? Has held in the past? Passports he’s had? Or even who the hell his parents are? His so called autobiography was written by Ayers and it’s almost all fictitious.
Zero needs to be hit with everything everyone has. No holds barred, nothing off the table. This man and his handlers, backers, finanncers and string pullers mean to absolutely destroy this country completely. In a war, you use every weapon you’ve got.
So, i had indeed read enough of the article to know what it’s about. And the Repubs are eunuchs and cowards and traitors if they don’t hit him. That’s why I’m glad Trump is doing it, for whatever reason he may have. The corruption in goes from the top to the bottom. Continuing on this road, ignoring the very real coupl that has taken place, is stupid and IMO a form of appeasement. The Rs don’t want to take it on because they’ve been threatened, or blackmailed, or paid off, or want the Titanic to continue on its path so they can get theirs.
And the point that the mere fact of having one foreigner parent is enough to render him ineligible, I agree. But for most idiots, they don’t know or care. It’s not enough for the uneducated leftist indoctrinated populace. And this issue needs to be important to the general public.
If it is made public that not only was his father (or maybe even his mother...) was a foreigner, PLUS he was born in another country, that would entirely turn the tide.
For people who understand and want to follow the Constitution, the one parent issue is sufficient. But with the level of gross corruption, evildoing, and damnable cowardice and appeasement in DC, Zero needs to be hit with the entire arsenal, by whoever has the guts to do it.
I am bad. I just realized you meant the Canada FP article, not mitchy’s article.
Okay, will be back and read the CFP ariticle. Have to do a whole bunch of stuff today. Darn it.

Yes, I read it. I've been shouting the Twentieth amendment, section three for a long time on this forum. In fact, in my opinion we are Constitutionally "frozen in time" right at the Twentieth amendment, section three and currently have no legal President.
Here's a little sample:
Congress is Responsible For the Eligibility Fiasco
My suggested remedy at the state level is here.
Usurper Detection Legislation Should Be Passed Within Each State
