Hillary''s appointment may be null and void. Her''s appointer Mr. Barack Obama may ineligible himself as president of the U.S. He hasn''t proved he''s natural born U.S. citizen. See: http://www.theobamafile.com/ObamaLatest.htm

I love the way the Republican party is referred to here as a "fringe group".

After wars based on lies, redefining the Geneva conventions, retroactive immunities and finessing of the laws and Constitution to suit one political agenda or another (like torture, the war, illegal immigration, patriot act, etc) we ALL--no matter which party--should be hesitant and leery of ANY action which requires exceptions, sleight of hand or back handed interpretation of the Constitution to suit the desires of individuals--including the President Elect.

It seems to me that this must be a fairly common problem with a fairly common solution. Senators are often appointed to posts whereof the emoluments have been increased. If there is a problem, then the courts should decide.

It is truly funny when people begin to think that the vast right right wing conspiracy to mess up everything democratic started with George Washington, Ben Franklin, James Madison, and Thomas Jefferson. Now I understand the left''s concern, however in dealing with the Constitution principle must rule; and if allow a president to Arbitrarily ignore a clause of the Constitution under principle you must allow on any occasion. Secondly, I would ask Democrats if they want Richard Nixon''s Constitutional standards to rule the day, be careful what you ask for.

"Not a single story about those who appear to have a case that Obama is NOT a US cit..." - sincity_q

That''s because there is NO REAL CASE.. it''s just more bogus crappola from the lunatic wing of the party of obstruction and destruction, the GOPigs.

The matter of Obama''s citizenship is completely settled... except in the minds of the tiny little peabrains who can''t accept that he will be president.

I''m suprised congress doesn''t raise their pay to be equal as a work-a-round instead of dropping the head of state salary?

Ooops, BREAKING NEWS - Congress to raise...

And so it begins. Right wing nutbags howling about everything they can think up to stop progress and make themselves seem important to get back into power and do nothing for the American people. They are sad. Very sad.

This is not 1974 and the president elect is not Richard Nixon.

Our new president needs to clear the record. We the People deserve that small respect.
