(s)Elections See other (s)Elections Articles Title: Obama Must Stand Up Now or Step Down America is facing potentially the gravest constitutional crisis in her history. Barack Obama must either stand up in a public forum and prove, with conclusive documentary evidence, that he is a natural born Citizen of the United States who has not renounced his American citizenshipor he must step down as the Democratic Partys candidate for President of the United Statespreferably before the election is held, and in any event before the Electoral College meets. Because, pursuant to the Constitution, only a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States at the time of the Adoption of th[e] Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President (Article II, Section 1, Clause 4). And Obama clearly was not a Citizen of the United States at the time of the Adoption of th[e] Constitution. Whether the evidence will show that Obama is, or is not, a natural born Citizen who has never renounced his American citizenship is an open question. The arguments on both sides are as yet speculative. But Obamas stubborn refusal to provide what he claims is his own country with conclusive proof on that score compels the presumption that he knows, or at least strongly suspects, that no sufficient evidence in his favor exists. After all, he is not being pressed to solve a problem in quantum physics that is above his pay grade, but only asked to provide the public with the original copy of some official record that establishes his citizenship. The vast majority of Americans could easily do so. Why will Obama not dispel the doubts about his eligibilityunless he can not? Now that Obamas citizenship has been seriously questioned, the burden of proof rests squarely on his shoulders. The burden of establishing a delegation of power to the United States * * * is upon those making the claim. Bute v. Illinois, 333 U.S. 640, 653 (1948). And if each of the General Governments powers must be proven (not simply presumed) to exist, then every requirement that the Constitution sets for any individuals exercise of those powers must also be proven (not simply presumed) to be fully satisfied before that individual may exercise any of those powers. The Constitutions command that [n]o Person except a natural born Citizen * * * shall be eligible to the Office of President is an absolute prohibition against the exercise of each and every Presidential power by certain unqualified individuals. Actually (not simply presumptively or speculatively) being a natural born Citizen is the condition precedent sine qua non for avoiding this prohibition. Therefore, anyone who claims eligibility for the Office of President must, when credibly challenged, establish his qualifications in this regard with sufficient evidence. In disposing of the lawsuit Berg v. Obama, which squarely presents the question of Obamas true citizenship, the presiding judge complained that Berg would have us derail the democratic process by invalidating a candidate for whom millions of people voted and who underwent excessive vetting during what was one of the most hotly contested presidential primary in living memory. This is exceptionally thin hogwash. A proper judicial inquiry into Obamas eligibility for the Office of President will not deny his supporters a right to vote for himrather, it will determine whether they have any such right at all. For, just as Obamas right to stand for election to the Office of President is contingent upon his being a natural born Citizen, so too are the rights of his partisans to vote for him contingent upon whether he is even eligible for that Office. If Obama is ineligible, then no one can claim any right to vote for him. Indeed, in that case every American who does vote has a constitutional duty to vote against him.

LOL - is the author building a straw man or... maybe a snow man? We got about a foot of wet snow here (PA) so, if anyone needs some to build the 'man', anyone is welcome. Bring a truck or 2.
When and to whom did the Messiah produce his birth cert?
You know, this is not one of them things that keep me from sleeping at night. Should we agree that there is a process that's in line with the constitution where one files to run for the US prez job? If such a process exists and if you are familiar with it, you may be able to find out when and to whom the Messiah produced his birth cert. By the way, isn't there some commandment that says that thou shall not take the name of the Lord in vain? But, not everyone is a Xtian, right? Maybe you're a Mooslim so that commandment don't apply to you.
Of course not, you're a Communist shit stain in America that wipes her ass with the Constitution just like the Bush-Clinton crime syndicate. You deserve what's coming; many of us don't. GFY
