Well, actually I don’t know how likely it is. Eaten any jalapenos lately? I hear the monkeys don’t care for ‘em.

Why? Because JR requests that you stop calling conservative FReepers Obot trolls?

Did WikiLeaks leak the location of OBL? I hadn’t heard that. Do you have a link?

Do you think Newton and “Mittens” could destroy each other? I don’t see anyone in the race yet who can win.

I comment because I consider unfounded birther conspiracy theories to be destructive to conservatism.

No. Only if you believe the statist media and the establishment DC types but not with the grassroots conservatives.

And if you want to argue the “Natural Born Citizen” status, why do you keep promoting the Birth Certificate is a fraud angle? Obama readily admits his father was Kenyan.

Promoting? For one thing the Obama COLBs are frauds and so is Obama. You just want everyone to ignore it. I can express my opinions and so can many others. These things can take years. Persistence does not only work for liberal issues, but it works for us too and should go quicker since we know Obama is not Constitutionally qualified, and I've got a lot of patients to set things from wrong to right is of more importance than seeing Obama removed from office. He can be in or out of office, but eventually this country will recognize who are natural born citizens 2 parent and born to soil. Getting Obama is secondary.

“Even the White House admitted that Trump had damaged Obama so much so that they were compelled to release the long form.”

and

Then - with Obama’s poll numbers slipping lower and lower - you think it’s a COINCIDENCE that Obama has OBL taken out. And again that it had nothing to do with the damage Trump had caused your boy Barack? Even the most liberal of journalists admitted Bammie did this to bounce back in the polls.”

Wow, just Wow!

Where to start?

BOJr. does not meet the eligibility requirements of Article II because of his non-citizen father.

His solution to this problem has always been to withold his birth certificate and encourage speculation on his place of birth, effectively changing the conversation from the area of his ineligibility...parentage, to the only area that complied with the NBC requirement....that is, birth in the US.

All the while Obama could have released his BC at any time, but held off waiting for some naive fool to make the much ridiculed “birther” issue a prominate issue.

Enter Trump, who on cue, played Obama’s game forcefully questioning place of birth, easily proved from the start by Obama, instead of the correct area of ineligibility .... foreign parentage.

Trump’s very vocal questioning of place of birth reminds me of briar rabbit being tossed in the briar patch after begging his captor...”Don’t throw me in the Briar patch....oh no don’t throw me there!

Trump couldn’t resist Briar Obama’s plea and insisted, “forcing Obama” according to WH aides, on seeing where Obama was born.

When the noise reached a crescendo of howling Trump birther fever.... you guessed it Obama produces a BC with a flourish showing Hawaiian birth..... and, in the minds of a now disapoint and disinterested public, taking the NBC issue off the table.

Ask me, and I’ll say I’m glade such a naive fool as Trump will not have the opportunity to do similiar screwups in the oval office.

Taking Osama out? The timing of that was made to insure that the now sucessfully marginilized “birther issue”, had a very short life on the front page. (<1 week)

Brilliant on Obama’s end? Nope!

Naive foolishness on Trump’s part? You bet! He was the first rube to take the bait!

Your defence of Trump is just as naive as that old fool Trump is.

BTW I predicted this exact scenario over 2 years ago in this very forum......check my posting history on Eligibility threads....... No, I’m not so smart.....it’s just that Trump is so dumb.

Farah was advising Trump. It was the billboard campaign by WND that got everyone worked up over the birth certificate.

“Still, not a peep from Palin.”

Sarah is too smart to stick her hand in the tar baby the extremely naive Trump created.

Seriously, how? Let's say Obama goes on TV tomorrow and says 'y'all suckers have been punked, I was born in Kenya, Stanley ain't my mamma, Toyko Rose is, even though I have the full assets of the CIA, FBI, NSA and every other alphabet agency, I had a 12 year old make a fake birth certificate just to mess with people on the internet'.., what then? Does he freely walk out? I doubt that? So it will be up to Congress, right? Do enough members of Congress have the balls to write articles of impeachment? Oh wait, the argument is, if he isn't legitimate, he can't be impeached, right? I would take it one step further and bet you that if something like that happened, Congress would be quick to pass a bill like they did for McCain declaring him a NBC per Article 1 Section 8 giving Congress the power to define said things.

So that won't work. Maybe the Justice Department? Oops, I doubt old Holder would do anything.

What about the Supreme Court. Do they have the power to remove a President? Maybe you think the American People will march in mass? I just hope American Idol isn't on that night.

Seriously, what is the end game? How does it happen? All the theories have been thrown around about "IF" but what about "HOW"?

Now, what is more realistic? I would say removing him from office via the ballot box. It happens far more than removing a President via legal action. To do that, you have to go after the voters on the issues that matter to them day by day. Jobs, the economy, defense, illegal aliens, etc. Most people wouldn't know the difference between Vattel and Mattel- and frankly wouldn't listen to the difference if their first priority is finding a job.

The ballot box is the tried and true method to obtain victory.

-"...it’s the attacks she’ll receive from conservatives that will be more bothersome.

Yes. I totally agree, and... which I would categorize as the so-called 'conservatives'.

If this happened, things would be way gone and no one would believe that the Constitution exists but only in name. And that's Article 2, Section 1....

I don’t think logic will work.

Awesome attempt, though. :-)

That train left the station about 120 years ago to most in power with the Interstate Commerce Act.

Call me an optimist. I think it is still salvageable for restoration.

BTW, I call this particular Constitutional clause the clause that ate the Constitution....or took a huge bite out of it.
