Washington, Sep 28 - Under the martial law procedure, long-standing House rules that require at least one day between the unveiling of significant legislation and the House floor vote on that legislation — so that Members can learn what they are being asked to vote on — are swept away. Instead, under “martial law,” the Leadership can file legislation with tens or hundreds of pages of fine print and move immediately to debate and votes on it, before Members of Congress, the media, or the public have an opportunity to understand fully what provisions have been altered or inserted into the legislation behind closed doors. This is the procedure that the Leadership intends to use to muscle through important bills in the next two days.
The Constitutions says a natural born citizen and thats what it means...we don't throw out the constitution because he's black....besides you didn't vote for Obama you voted for the democratic delegates in your state to go to the electoral college Dec 15....if for any reason it is found out that Obama is not a natural born citizen then they could vote somebody else in.If he is voted in by the electoral college and it is found out 6 months from now that he is not a citizen then what ever he signed into law will be void.

I read through threads regarding these issues, and frankly it is time for all to move on. The election is over. We must unite NOW.
I said the following in another discussion which I read through today...
Stop it already.
Obama is our president, elected by the majority of Americans. I did not vote for him, however the election is over, he is MY president now, it is time for everyone of us to rally behind him, to support his administration to STOP these insane games aimed at disqualifying him from office.
The American people have spoken in overwhelming numbers.
The time to have done something regarding his eligibility and citizenship passed long before November. Can any of you imagine what would happen now if for some reason Obama is prevented from taking office?
Everyone say it with me...
I am an American, Barack Obama is my President, I will support him.
After 8 years of a Bush administration and all that resulted from that, the new President is going to need ALL of the support he can get. No one should envy him, look at what he is going to be walking into on day 1.
Best of luck President Obama.

4) Most important, removing him from office will cause widespread and massive civil unrest at the worst possible time. It could mean the destruction of the US.
I know its fun to speculate about these things, but it's time to move on and work on rebuilding the country...a country that was nearly destroyed by men who were born in the US, and whose fathers and fathers' fathers were born there.

Big Deal, read the laws, Obama could have been born in Kenya, his mother lived in the U.S. as a resident for the required amount of time to make Obama a naturalized citizen through his mother's status.

You need to read the Immigration Reform and Control Act signed into law by Reagan in 1986..there lies the 'precident' you speak of.
Let me break it down so you might understand the concept better. If your mother is a legal US citizen so are you..it matters not where on the planet she happens to give birth to you. Let's say your mom was in Mexico for vacation when she gave birth to you, that doesn't make you a Mexican.
Barak's mother was a legal citizen at the time of his birth. It's irrefutable and well documented.
This whole argument is laughable..
The resolution introduced today states: "Resolved, That John Sidney McCain, III, is a 'natural born Citizen’ under Article II, Section 1, of the Constitution of the United States."
"It is silly for anyone to argue that Senator McCain is not eligible to become president," said McCaskill in a written statement. "I would hope that this is something we can all agree on, for goodness sakes."
Since 1964, two other Republican presidential candidates, born outside U.S. borders, dealt with this question.
Sen. Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz., was born in a U.S territory that later became the State of Arizona. Former Michigan Gov. George Romney was born in Mexico to parents born in the U.S.

The 14th amendment is a legal amendment ratified by all 50 states. It changes the natural born citizen clause does it not?

How the people who produced this aren't laughed at is a shambles and a disgrace. The VERY SAME mob who wrote Palin's "palling around with tchrerrorists" (as only Republicans know how to pronounce it) produced this............ the same people. What they don't exist any more because he WON??? No! This crap EXISTS because he won.
Before you all come over all "Dude, not cool, not cllever" etc etc, SURELY we have a duty of care to post reasonable, at least SEMI- rational topics?!?!?!?
No????????
