What Do You Think?

The 'problem', according to the blogosphere, is that Obama's birth cert has been requested for review by the Supreme Court and it'll prove to be fake and he'll be denied the Presidency. This in turn will cause massive race riots across the country and it'll snowball into all the other stuff he was talking about.

I've written about this in the election selection.

even if that happened, which it wont...

GWB would not continue as president. He would be out and Dick Cheney would be the acting president until the crisis was over.

If Barak Obama were deemed unable to serve before the Jan. 4 Electoral College vote, then the Electors could vote for whom ever they wanted. They could elect Joe Biden President, or YOU for that matter. Likely they would elect a democrat because the majority of Electors are democrats. I would theorize it would either be Biden or Hillary. However the Electors could be split and then it would be possible that McCain would be elected.


If Obama was deemed unable to serve after Jan.4 then in all likely hood Joe Biden would be elevated based on the Constitutional succession rules. However that is somewhat unclear (if I understand correctly) and thus the Supreme Court would be involved giving congress direction on how to solve the problem.

Cheney would be acting President in the meantime and the new Congress (dominated by democrats in both houses) would settle the succession issue.

No matter what GWB is OUT.

Why would Cheney be acting president?

GW has been acting president for 8 years... why couldn't he continue acting.

Now your being cute!


Some would say Cheney has been acting president for the last 8 years! LOL!


But really the constitution states that the sitting VP acts as president after Jan. 20 until any successionary crisis is resolved.

To tell you the truth... as much as I am not a fan of Bush.... I would rather see Bush continue in there than Cheney.

LOL! There are a lot of folk that agree with that.... personally I would like to see Cheney as acting president for a month or two just because of the convulsions it would cause the hardleft, the liberal Media and the Jon Stewarts and Kieth Overbites or the world!

but really it would only last so long as it would take to constitutionally correct the problem which I suspect would be done within a few months.


let me go back and dig up some info on this from the source.

Yea I knew but it really is an interesting thing (understand I dont think in any way that BO isnt qualified to be president) to consider what the acutal process is.
