"if the President elect shall have failed to qualify..."

n which hospital was Former Senator Øbama born? Which of that hospital's doctors delivered him? Where are that hospital's records proving he was born in it?

If we're going to ignore the following provisions of our nation's constitution,

If a President shall not have been chosen before the time fixed for the beginning of his term, or if the President elect shall have failed to qualify, then the Vice President elect shall act as President until a President shall have qualified....

Amendment XX, Section 3.

No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

Article II, Section. 1, Clause 5.

...which other provisions of it are we also going to ignore once they prove similarly inconvenient?

In each instance will there be sheriff's deputies posted at more doors denying We the People even the chance to prove that we're ignoring it?

Last week in Hawaii, WND retained a top private investigator with extensive FBI training and tasked with visiting both the Queens Medical Center and the Kaliolani Medical Center to investigate claims that Obama birth certificates existed at either hospital.

But the private investigator reported that on Thursday and Friday of last week, sheriff's deputies were stationed at both hospitals to fend off press inquiries about Obama's birth certificate.

The [Hawaiin] governor's communication with WND also left ambiguous whether the Obama birth certificate on file with the Department of Health was originally generated by a Hawaii doctor after giving birth to Obama in Hawaii, or generated in Kenya and subsequently registered by the Obama family in Hawaii.

The controversy is further fueled by a video posted on YouTube in which Obama's Kenyan grandmother Sarah claims to have witnessed personally Obama's birth in Kenya. The YouTube.com video tape also features Sayid Obama who was interviewed by WND.

To date, Obama and his campaign have refused to disclose the name of the doctor delivering the candidate or the precise hospital where he was born.

The main reason doubts persist regarding Obama's birth certificate is this question: If an original Hawaii-doctor-generated and Hawaii-hospital-released Obama birth certificate exists, why wouldn't the senator and his campaign simply order the document released and end the controversy?

Why wouldn't he, indeed. He knows or should know that a third-party "certification" is insufficient.

Sec. 7211. Minimum standards for birth certificates.

(a) Definition.--In this section, the term ``birth certificate'' means a certificate of birth--

(1) for an individual (regardless of where born)--

  (A) who is a citizen or national of the United States at birth; and

  (B) whose birth is registered in the United States; and

(2) that--

  (A) is issued by a Federal, State, or local government agency or authorized custodian of record and produced from birth records maintained by such agency or custodian of record; or

  (B) is an authenticated copy, issued by a Federal, State, or local government agency or authorized custodian of record, of an original certificate of birth issued by such agency or custodian of record.

(b) Standards for Acceptance by Federal Agencies.--

(1) In general.--Beginning 2 years after the promulgation of minimum standards under paragraph (3), no Federal agency may accept a birth certificate for any official purpose unless the certificate conforms to such standards.

(2) State certification.--

  (A) In general.--Each State shall certify to the Secretary of Health and Human Services that the State is in compliance with the requirements of this section.

  (B) Frequency.--Certifications under subparagraph (A) shall be made at such intervals and in such a manner as the Secretary of Health and Human Services, with the concurrence of the Secretary of Homeland Security and the Commissioner of Social Security, may prescribe by regulation.

  (C) Compliance.--Each State shall ensure that units of local government and other authorized custodians of records in the State comply with this section.

  (D) Audits.--The Secretary of Health and Human Services may conduct periodic audits of each State's compliance with the requirements of this section.

(3) Minimum standards.--Not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Health and Human Services shall by regulation establish minimum standards for birth certificates for use by Federal agencies for official purposes that--

  (A) at a minimum, shall require certification of the birth certificate by the State or local government custodian of record that issued the certificate, and shall require the use of safety paper or an alternative, equally secure medium, the seal of the issuing custodian of record, and other features designed to prevent tampering, counterfeiting, or otherwise duplicating the birth certificate for fraudulent purposes;

  (B) shall establish requirements for proof and verification of identity as a condition of issuance of a birth certificate, with additional security measures for the issuance of a birth certificate for a person who is not the applicant;

  (C) shall establish standards for the processing of birth certificate applications to prevent fraud;

  (D) may not require a single design to which birth certificates issued by all States must conform; and

  (E) shall accommodate the differences between the States in the manner and form in which birth records are stored and birth certificates are produced from such records.

(4) Consultation with government agencies.--In promulgating the standards required under paragraph (3), the Secretary of Health and Human Services shall consult with--

  (A) the Secretary of Homeland Security;

  (B) the Commissioner of Social Security;

  (C) State vital statistics offices; and

  (D) other appropriate Federal agencies.

(5) Extension of effective date.--The Secretary of Health and Human Services may extend the date specified under paragraph (1) for up to 2 years for birth certificates issued by a State if the Secretary determines that the State made reasonable efforts to comply with the date under paragraph (1) but was unable to do so.

So the proper form of address for the next four years will be "Mr. Former Senator" and "Mr. Acting President," respectively, when speaking to Obama bin Biden. As in: "How do you plead, Mr. Former Senator. Guilty or not guilty?"

Born in uh N-Ya-K I was born in uh N-Ya-K I was born in uh N-Ya-K I was born in uh N-Ya-K

All republics die two centuries or less after they're born, right after they forget the answer to that most basic of questions: "Why am I here?"

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America....

The fact our own's suicide extends their maximum lifespan a few decades isn't going to make it any kind of historic exception.

Perhaps the next people's experiment in governing themselves will employ some untried method for their remembering the answer long enough to fare remarkably better.
