As I explained previously (“Obama’s Eligibility and the 20th Amendment”), the 20th Amendment (ratified A.D. 1933) to The Constitution of the United States includes three references to a presidential “qualification” process.
This qualification process apparently takes place between the time when a presidential candidate is elected (last November 6th) and becomes “President elect” and the date when he is inaugurated (next January 21st) and becomes the President.
The purpose of the qualification procedure is to determine if the man who won the November election is actually qualified and therefore eligible to become the President in January. If the qualification procedure determines the President elect is not qualified to become President, the Vice President will be appointed to take over.

The following email describes warnings from an unnamed American minister in Israel. The email is alarming but unverifiable. It might be a hoax.
Even so, the email caused me to ask an intriguing question: What do you suppose Israel fears more–a nuclear-armed Iran–or a US president who is openly supportive of Muslims?
This question inspired a fascinating hypothesis. Could Israel bomb Iran, in part, for the purpose of causing Obama to lose this November’s election?
I’ll explain that hypothesis in a moment, but first, here’s the email, as written:
“Something is coming.
“I don’t know if you follow such things but…
“My brother and his family live in Jerusalem – he is a minister – and a former Navy SEAL – his office is close to one of Israel’s largest underground military bases.
“He called to tell me that he is sending his family back to the US immediately due to what he is seeing happen within the last week and what he is being told by his military contacts in both the Israel and US military.
“He said he is seeing with his own eyes military movements the likes of which he has never seen in his 20+ years in Israel.
Obama-Romney
I remember back in A.D. 1960, when John F. Kennedy was running for the presidency, there was some some genuine concern that, being a Catholic, JFK might take orders from the Pope rather than the US Constitution and/or the American people. In retrospect, that concern seems silly.
Still, it was a “sign of the times” that America’s Protestant majority had some serious doubts about electing a Catholic (OMG!) to the presidency.
This November, voters will have a chance to choose between electing a Mormon fascist and a Muslim communist. Unlike A.D. 1960, no one seems particularly concerned. But, is that indifference a welcome sign that we’ve become a religiously tolerant people–or does it signal just how far America has strayed from God?
Whatever this year’s election signals, it surely shows that this country has changed dramatically, almost inconceivably, in the last 50 years. Who could’ve imagined this election just ten years ago?
We’ve come a wrong way, baby!

Fox News syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer calls a spade a spade.

Here’s another video in Obama’s own words from A.D. 2008 and A.D. 2011. He admits that he intends to act “wherever possible” without congressional authority to do so. Obama’s own words support Krauthammer’s assessment.

The Constitution of the United States requires all candidates for President to be “natural born citizens”. There is enormous doubt and controversy as to whether Barack Obama meets that definition.
The following video reports that prior to Obama’s election, there were at least eight attempts in Congress to pass laws and/or constitutional amendments that would change the definition of “natural born citizen” (as found in the Constitution) to allow persons not born in this country to become President. The video implies that these attempts to alter the definition of “natural born citizen” were part of a conspiracy specifically tailored to allow Obama to be elected.
I’m not convinced that all eight (or perhaps any) of those congressional attempts to redefine “natural born citizen” were part of a conspiracy to elect Obama–even before he was known or nominated. It seems more likely that some congressmen believe that eligibility to become President should be extended to those immigrants who entered this country as children and grew up as “Americans”. Alternatively, by seeming to try to make young immigrants eligible to become President, those Congressmen might simply be pandering for the support and votes of immigrants.
Another video on President Obama. This one indicates that it’s not only true that the American people don’t know for sure where Barack Obama was born, but that President Obama, himself, doesn’t recall for sure when he was born or how old he is. Perhaps he’s suffering from amnesia.
The A.D. 2012 presidential election should be one to remember. We appear to have an incumbent President who can’t remember his own age, and up until a few days ago (when Cain dropped out of the race), one of the top six Republican contenders for the presidency liked to draw pictures of his penis.
It’s inspiring to see the high caliber of people attracted to public office and to know our country in such capable hands.
The old saying that, “In America, anyone can grow up to be President” has been proven to be absolutely true. But I’m not sure that’s a good thing insofar as “anyone” now includes morons, amnesiacs and sexual deviates.
