I totally agree, Biden is a fool and would be a disaster...

However, that has nothing to do with the argument that the provisions in our Constitution governing the qualifications you need to become President are valid and should have been used during the vetting process to the satisfaction of all.... As things are IMO we've set a seriously dangerous precedent if we're going to lower the standards of the Presidency. Hell, why have any requirements at all?

a President Biden is even a more scary thought.


The gaffe master would be a total embarrassment but still preferable to a usurper.

I agree that it is unlikely that Obama will be removed from office merely for not being legally qualified. If it is discovered to be a fact that he is a usurper it will be an even bigger gift to lawyers fee collections than the Trail Lawyer Wealth Enhancement Bill working its way to Obama.
