Would he be forced to resign the Presidency due to fraud, withholding evidence and/or obstruction of justice? I think you may be missing the point. If he is elected, he will be elected by the *people*. Any messing with that is called a coup. The courts have consistently maintained a hands off approach to this issue, as they should. I would also point out, this does not only concern Obama, it also concerns McCain. McCain's "natural born" status is not a certainty. Let's make it easy on ourselves, let the voters decide. http://lsolum.typepad.com/legaltheor...el-j-chin.html http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.c...act_id=1157621 If you are born of US citizens in a local hospital in France are you a natural born US citizen? If you are born of US citizens in a US embassy in France are you a natural born US citizen? The 1790 Congress, many of whose members had been members of the Constitutional Convention, provided in the Naturalization Act of 1790 that "And the children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond the sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born citizens." In addition George Washington was president of the Constitutional Convention and President of the United States when this bill became law. If Washington disagreed with this definition, he could have vetoed this bill. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural-born_citizen Gosharoonie, that means that Obama, even if he were born in Kenya of a mom who was a U.S. citizen is...a natural born citizen... snerk Not quite. "And the children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond the sea..." It reads children of citizens, plural. That argument wont hold up. As much as I would like it to. |
