I wish to disagree with OldRelayer. If Obama lied about his birth, he willingly violated the Constitution (Article II, Section 1). As a supposed Constitutional Scholar, fraud is a high crime or at least a misdemeanor and he needs to be impeached by the House then tried and convicted by the Senate (Aritcle II, Section 4) as far as removing him from office. Then we can try him for perjury, because he lied under oath while taking the oath of office when he swore to defend and protect the same Constitution. Are we to give him a pass? For what reason? The Law is the law, and it is all based on the Constitution.
Is he not continuing to violate the law and the Constitution in everything he is doing as a fraudulent President? Does he respect contract law, when he violated it repeatedly by taking over Chrysler and GM? Would we have received a pass for such violations? Then there was his vioation of bankruptcy law in the same crimes and further violations during the takeover of the banks. (These are also impeachable offenses and prosecutions, if we have the determination). To Hell with him. We either support and enforce the Constitution, or we shred it, and along with any legitimacy to the Federal Government, which was created by it and without which it has no validity.
That is the fallacy of the Federal Government. It's very reason for existance is the Constitution, and without it the government is as illegitimate as Obama is as President. We have to impeach him and remove him from office eventually, or there is no reason for the Constitution. We can not do it with this rubber stamp Congrees. We have to win back both houses in 2010 with big enough majorities in order to attempt it. But attempt it we must, if we have any hope of stopping such an ongoing crime.
After kicking him out of office, if he is unqualified for such a position, having the Gaffe Omatic then as President would actually be a lot of fun. But we must remember this point, once an exception like this is established, we can't stop it from happening again. Hitler took over Gernmany, even though he was not born there, and ruined the country and the rest of Europe with WWII through the manifestations of his dictatorial actions. With Obama, either he's another Hitler, or the next one will be.
