If the Judiciary does not have the authority to determine the eligibility of a candidate for the presidency according to the Constitution, then just who does?

Before the election, many states' election laws would have permitted a challenge to Obama's qualifications, if brought by another candidate on the ballot. This could have been done either by another Democratic candidiate during the primaries, or by McCain or a third party candidate during the general election. But no one brought such a suit, and the time to do so ran once the election was held. (It can still be done for 2012).

Once the election was held, Congress could have considered a challenge to Obama's qualifications when it certified the electoral votes, but no one objected.

At this point, the only way to remove Obama from office before 2012 is by impeachment.

You're probably right but what about his ability to run again in 2012? I'd say the question is legitimate and far from over. What was the last job that you got while refusing to answer these questions. The last job I got I had to have a Notary Public certify my proof of citizenship documents before submitting them to my contract company.

McRino was "talked to" which is why he made that very bizarre statement that we have nothing to fear from Hussein.

(It can still be done for 2012).

Which is why he and his handlers are going gangbusters on every bill now because it will be challenged in '12 and he will be proved a liar and a fraud. He'll come down with some illness or claim stress to his happy home and in '11 and through tears and a first time bent head as the adoring msm use up their flash bulbs will decline a second term. The only catch is why hasn't the alinsky adm found their replacement. Perhaps they have and this time all the t's will be crossed and all the i's dotted so no one can question anything.
