Not only did they do nothing. They passed a resolution saying that the Constitution didn’t mean anything. I don’t remember but I think a joint resolution of Congress in 2009 said, in effect, “we don’t know what this ‘natural born citizen’ language is all about, but whatever it is, we declare Obama to be eligible.” They amended the Constitution by a simple resolution, without reference to the people. That, too, is called usurpation.
Then the ‘ah shaddup’ crowd piped in with, “nobody cares, everybody cheats.” “Nothing will ever come of this.” Though, sadly, credit where credit is due — they were right.
Then Leo Donofrio closed his blog after claiming he was threatened. The scary part is that I’m prepared to believe him.
Most amazingly though, at the White House website Obama acknowledges that he was a dual national at birth, and that he was naturalized at the age of twenty-one by renouncing his Kenyan citizenship. But if you point out what Obama has already said, you’re a goddam birther.
Thanks for eight years in the Twilight Zone. It’s been a hoot.
