janmcn: To a point you and I agree. I happen to believe that Obama was not properly vetted and because of that many people on both sides of this issue will certainly are red faced. In addition everything that Obama has done would be null and void. But the bigger problem is the position it places this great nation in. The lega lchallenges would throw this country into total chaos So the powers to be would rather bury this issue, save those view who have the documentation. History will some day report the truth as it has with other issues involving previous presidents.

There is enough documentation to move this case forward but the DOJ is owned and conrolled by Holder who in my opinion who is no more credible than Obama. Obama has spent millions to prevent this case from going forward. No one spend millions if there is nothing to hide. No one.

Bottom line is weighing the damage to the position of President of the United States vis a vis the truth about Obama and you know what the majority of American would chose. Becasue of the aforementioned i let go of this issue long ago. Focus now should be only on removing this guy from office

To your point, Rubicon, the focus of the birthers should now be on Romney, Santorum and Rubio. Why was Romney's father born in Mexico? Has anybody seen Santorum's birth certificate? Reportedly, his grandfather immigrated from Italy but at what point did he become a US citizen. And Rubio, on the very short list for VP, why did he change his story about when his parents immigrated to the US from Cuba?

I think I read that Rubio was born in 1971 and his parents did not become citizens until 1975, making Rubio a "native born citizen" not a "natural born citizen" therefore, he can not be VP or Pres if they follow the letter of the Constitution, but we know how that goes. The same may apply to Romney, that needs to be vetted to see when Romny's father got his US citizenship back and when Mitt was born.

Either we start following the letter of the Constitution or scrap that piece of paper and just go hog wild on everything. We had better make up our minds what we are going to do.

I'm afraid that "We had better make up our minds what we are going to do" has already been established for all of us by the current administration. What Constitution??

Congratulation!! You are now a birther.

Are you a citizen?

My family, on both sides, has been here since before and during the American Revolution and we have documented proof. Glad you asked. Can you say the same? The name you go by is not always the name you were born with.

I am a native indian, Osage to be exact so my family watched your family row to shore. Welcome to my home.

My sister just reminded me that our family has been here since the 1600's, and we have some American Indians in our ancestry, so you and I could be cousins.

So what time do I show up for Thanksgiving.

We only buy Christmas gifts for close family so don't worry about getting me anything.

Do you know what tribe you may have blood from?

So OUR family watched as others rowed to shore!!

My family arrived from Italy in 1908, so don't credit my family, or blame my family, for anything that happened before that.

They didn't row.

But as long as there seems to be a "need" to continue to try to figure out some way to get rid of Obama instead of actually winning an election--something that is beginning to appear very unlikely--maybe we should discuss what might happen if he actually was removed from office for not satisfying the legal requirement for holding office. Vice President Biden would be elevated to POTUS. I suppose John Boehner would become Vice President.

Y'know that might not be too bad. Biden is probably more stable and experienced than any of the candidates beating one another up trying to get the GOP nomination to run against Obama in the fall. And if we got Boehner out of the leadership of the House, where he's done a simply awful job, that's not all bad either.

When Richard Nixon was forced to resign because of the Watergate scandal and Gerald Ford became president, he appointed New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller his vice-president. The only way the speaker-of-the-house becomes president is if both the president and vice president are incapacitated.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average would return to 7949, where it was on Jan 20, 2009, the day President Obama was sworn in, from 13,005, where it closed yesterday Feb 28, 2012.

Gays and lesbians would not be allowed to serve openly in the US armed forces, unlike every other major armed forces in the world.

You are correct. John Boehner is the worst speaker of the house, at least in my lifetime.

Ha.........Nancy Pelosi............Ha...........give me a break.......

Oh, give ME a break! The absolute worst Speaker of the House was The Newt. I am very happy that the GNopers have decided he is not worthy to even wipe his shoes on the White House doormat.
