"The Constitution dictates what shall take place if a President-Elect fails to qualify. As you know he didn't fail to qualify because no legitimate evidence of disqualification was presented."

Pure B.S.

Section three of the Twentieth amendment reads as follows:

"3. If, at the time fixed for the beginning of the term of the President, the President elect shall have died, the Vice President elect shall become President. If a President shall not have been chosen before the time fixed for the beginning of his term, or if the President elect shall have failed to qualify, then the Vice President elect shall act as President until a President shall have qualified; and the Congress may by law provide for the case wherein neither a President elect nor a Vice President elect shall have qualified, declaring who shall then act as President, or the manner in which one who is to act shall be selected, and such person shall act accordingly until a President or Vice President shall have qualified.”

The term "if the President elect shall have failed to qualify" is describing an action of "the president elect", not that of someone who might be challenging his qualification. This CLEARLY places the burden of "qualifying" upon the President elect. Since it is Congress who is instructed to act upon whether or not a "qualification" has been met, this "qualification" must be made to Congress. My congressman has the legal standing to demand that this proof of qualification be presented or the "President elect" cannot be President. Inaction by my congressman in this matter does not remove the WRITTEN REQUIREMENT of section three of the Twentieth amendment.

In fact, inaction by Congress in this instance is breaking their oath of office to "support this Constitution" from Article six.

The text of Article two, Section one CLEARLY states:

" No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President"

This means that any President elect who has "failed to qualify" cannot be President. Period. Just because Congress has not upheld it's oath of office to verify qualifications doesn't make someone ineligible to be President a legal President. If Obama has "qualified", my congressman has the standing to demand to see his proof. If he has not "qualified", then he isn't really President at all but a usurper.
