[quote=partypup][quote=GH]Even if Obama was determined not to be a legitimate US Citizen, which given his mother IS a US Citizen, it seems to me Congress and the Senate would rush to amend the constitution to allow his presidency to continue, so I recon this angle is moot.[/quote]
Actually, I think you’re right. But I also believe that people deserve to know the truth about their Commander-in-Chief so that the issue is out in the open and in the future, should the issue come up again, we take the inquiries more seriously and ask the hard questions BEFORE someone is sworn into office.The quest for the truth is the enemy of any elected official.[/quote]
First, congress can’t amend the constitution. That right is afforded the states, and requires 3/4 of the states to ratify an amendment. It’s unlikely it could be done quickly.
Second, the inquiries were taken seriously. Obama has provided a certified copy of his birth certificate (In the case of Hawaii, they issue a document called “Certificate of Live Birth”).
