The Legitimacy of the Obama Presidency
The World Net Daily reported Tuesday that a citizen grand jury issued an indictment against Obama. The charges are fraud and to, one and for all, prove that Obama has a legitimate claim to the presidency.
While I am not one of the people who believe Obama is not a citizen, the fact that so many people have blindly accepted this fact has caused me great concern. Several law suits have already been issued and quickly dismissed. However, there has been little to no information from the Obama camp to assuage these charges. Their silence has only deepened the controversy to the point that I am beginning to wonder why the president refuses to acknowledge this question.
Senators have taken the issue from their constituents and pretty much replied, “Whatever. Get a life.” But I found this particular reply interesting:
Sen. Mel Martinez, R-Fla.: “Presidential candidates are vetted by voters at least twice – first in the primary elections and again in the general election. President-Elect Obama won the Democratic Party’s nomination after one of the most fiercely contested presidential primaries in American history. And, he has now been duly elected by the majority of voters in the United States. Throughout both the primary and general election, concerns about Mr. Obama’s birthplace were raised. The voters have made clear their view that Mr. Obama meets the qualifications to hold the office of president.”
Just because someone is elected by the people doesn’t mean that the elected is qualified as per the constitution. For example, we can vote for my dog by a huge majority. Yes, he can win the primary. And sure, he can win the general election. But it doesn’t mean that he can be president. I hope Senator Martinez isn’t suggesting that we completely ignore the constitution and only rely upon public opinion.
The problem I see with this whole issue is that the government as a whole thus far has suppressed these complaints. This is something that should be put to rest, once and for all. The court should rule that either Obama is duly qualified natural born citizen that can take the office of the President or that he isn’t.
The controversy has become incredibly strong. It needs to be put to rest.
