Also, that goes on to say that if neither the President elect nor the Vice President elect are eligible (which I think would be the case here) that the person to take over would be selected. Selected by whom? Congress? Proposterous. The new President would be selected by the people in a special election.

We would be stuck with Bush until Hilary and McCain could have an election.

This makes him look giulty as sin, which MANY believe he is. If he's a citizen he is being Absolutely Disrespectful to those he "represents" and doesn't give a **** about our feelings; some Possible future prez (fits right in)
If not a citizen it is Necessary we find out ASAP. If he isn't a citizen, What about all that money he decieved people into giving?
Either way he's being a jerk! I just pray he's an American jerk but I truely don't think so.

I absolutely LOVE Alan Keyes, I have voted for him in the past. I am also thrilled that HE, as a black conservative, is the one who has brought this lawsuit.
