Obama And His Birth Certificate Are About To Make History

Wow, quoting Country Joe. He was one of the Woodstock performers.

You must be a liberal. You must be one of the Woodstock Alumni.

Hmmmm, if I remember correctly some people took some bad acid there....

I think you are doing a far better job making a ‘nuts and sluts’ argument for yourself than I would ever be able to - and certainly than I have, since I never said a single word about your or your condition until after you started accusing me of doing so.

Very good reply. You stated the elephant in the room that nobody seems to see. If Obama is found ineligiable, he is REMOVED from office, not impeached, he does not resign, or quit. Biden was CHOSEN by Obama, not elected into the Vice-Presidency. The 25th ammendment does not apply, rather the 20th. So Biden would TEMPORARILY hold office. He would be very busy, as all of the judgements and signings of Obama would become moot, and finding a starting place again would be time consuming.
The only people who RAN for President with sufficient votes would be McCain, and since he SELECTED Palin, just as OBAMA selected Biden, he would become next in line to become President. It is as if, he were removed from the Presidential race, and the next highest number of votes would take office, which would be McCain/Palin. As McCain was exhaustively qualified in accordance with the 20th Ammendment to the constitution.
Personally, I have watched what McCain has done since losing the race, and he is steadfast in doing what he has always done. Palin has elected to leave the governorship of Alaska, and IMO, has done so, because its a very real possibility, that she has a new jobs about to start.

Thanks for the response. But, if you read the Constitution, the VP is actually elected to his office in a separate ballot by the Electoral College. In other words, he is in a separate office, not an appendage of the President (though granted, that's the way they operate).

Bottom line is that the 20th Amendment would apply, but the second place person for the race for the Presidency would assume the duties of the President, while the first place person for the race for VP would continue in that office, unless he could be shown to unqualified.

(Having said all of the above, either a coup would have to happen or one or both of the other branches of government would need to acknowledge that Ø was unqualified for anything PRACTICAL to happen. You know that the Legislative Branch would not do so, particularly under its current leadership. And I think the Judicial Branch's summary treatment of any challenges to Ø's qualifications to date show us what they'd do. So that leaves one option. And I, for one, believe that option is utterly untenable. So we're stuck with him until 2012. Just my opinion)
