The Right Way to Amend the Constitution, part 5
This is part five of an ongoing series of articles containing proposals for amendments to the Constitution. For someone who claims so fervently to be a “Constitutionalist”, how is it that I can be so eager to change the Constitution? Well, there are several reasons. For one thing, I believe that after the Bill of Rights, much damage was done by some of the amendments that were added and the legitimacy of some of their ratifications are questionable. Secondly, the Constitution has been violated so much that the necessity of further amendments is needed to resolve the resulting problems. But this should be done extremely cautiously. These amendments are extremely unlikely to ever be introduced, much less ratified, but hey, I can dream, can’t I?
The title for this week’s proposed article of amendment (subject to revision) is The Audacity of Legitimacy Amendment, the text of which follows:
Section 1: For purposes of this article, the term Electoral College in Dispute shall refer to the Presidential vote of the Electoral College on December 15, 2008 and all other Electoral College votes in which Barack Hussein Obama was chosen by at least one Elector.
Section 2: For purposes of this article, the term de facto shall refer to what would be the case in regards to the result of the election of the President if the result declared by the presiding officer at the Joint session of Congress certifying any Electoral College in Dispute had been in accordance with the Constitution in regards to the natural born citizenship of Barack Hussein Obama.
Section 3: The de facto President shall be removed from the office of President and shall cease acting as President immediately upon ratification of this article.
Section 4: The House of Representatives shall, within 48 hours of the ratification of this article, select a President in the manner described in Article II section 1 Clause 3 and elsewhere in this Constitution as if no Person had received a majority of votes in the last Electoral College in Dispute. The President so selected shall be elected to complete the remainder of the term held by the de facto President.
Section 5: If the Person selected as President in section 4 of this article is the de facto Vice President at the time of the ratification of this article, the Senate shall chose by ballot a new Vice President. The Vice President so selected shall be elected to complete the remainder of the term held by the de facto Vice President. Otherwise, the de facto Vice President shall be the Vice President.
Section 6: Any law enacted by the United States, action in the capacity of President taken by the de facto President, or action taken by the United States under orders from the de facto President acting in the capacity of President, while he was de facto President shall become inoperable 30 days from the ratification of this article unless affirmed by the President selected as prescribed by section 4 of this article within 15 days of this selection to the Presidency.
Section 7: If a Person other than Barack Hussein Obama holds the office of President at the time of the ratification of this article, then sections 3, 4, 5, and 6 of this article shall be inoperable and all laws enacted by the United States, all actions taken by Barack Hussein Obama in the capacity of President, all actions taken under orders from Barack Hussein Obama while acting in the capacity of President, and all Presidential election results with respect to an Electoral College in Dispute shall be as operable as if Barack Hussein Obama had been elected to the office of President in accordance with the Constitution.
Section 8: Barack Hussein Obama shall never hold the office of President or Vice President at any time subsequent to the ratification of this article.
Commentary on this proposed amendment:
I believe that it explains itself pretty well. It would inadequate to impeach Mr. Obama at this time, since that would leave all the legislation that he has signed into law and other actions in limbo as far as whether or not they are to be recognized as legitimate. Besides a Constitutional amendment, a fifty state secession is the only other remedy that I can think of to resolve this perplexing question.
I was tempted to put in something that would say that if Mr. Obama were to come up with a birth certificate and if it would be upheld as authentic in the Supreme Court, then the whole article would become inoperable. But the fact that his inaction on the issue is in itself a violation of the Constitution and that he has violated the Constitution in many other ways, he deserves to be impeached even if he really is, in fact, a natural born citizen. Furthermore, it would complicate things as far as what should happen if some of the terms of this amendment were carried out and then the birth certificate came forth.
Section 7 is regrettable, but necessary so that if the amendment did not pass until many years had passed, there would not be continuing disputes about the legitimacy of Mr. Obama’s actions taken under the guise of being President of the United States. The main point of this article is to ensure that drastic consequences don’t take place as a result of this situation.

What now? A Call To Bury the Hatchet With McCain Voters
OK. We Baldwin/Barr/Keyes voters who have seen through the deceit of McCain’s candidacy now need to unite with you McCain voters against the common enemy—Obama.
First of all, a lawsuit has been filed against Obama by one Philip Berg challenging his qualifications for the presidency on the basis that he has failed to produce valid proof of his “Natural Born Citizenship”. The We the People Foundation is placing this ad in the USA TODAY the week of November 10, 2008.
If Obama’s electors go ahead and decide to elect him, then we could have political chaos. He would be a usurper of the throne (that is practically what the Presidency has become) and his every act would be illegitimate. But as soon as he does something else unconstitutional (which shouldn’t take long), contact your congressman and request him to introduce legislation into the Congress to impeach Obama. It is a citizen’s duty to defend the Constitution.
If that fails, and if Obama does something really monstrous (all of you who think that Obama is a radical Muslim extremist), then as a last resort we need to contact our state representatives and request that they introduce legislation into our state legislatures to remove our states from the United States. (It is a state’s right to secede—read the Declaration of Independence.) Then we need to get ready for wild ride—be prepared to defend the sovereignty of your state by joining a militia. I’ve wanted to do this anyway—it would get us out from under Roe v Wade and so much other garbage that the Republicrats have foisted on us.

Impeachment Hearings
The MSM (except for CSPAN) is not reporting the impeachment hearings that have been brought against the President by Dennis Kucinich. Click on the links to the videos below to have a look at what’s going on.

I don’t agree with most of what Dennis Kucinich says, and I think that most of the Democrats have no excuse for voting for the “use of force” in Iraq, since the President provided no proof that Iraq had anything to do with what happened on September 11th. Whether or not Sadaam Hussein had WMDs is irrelevant. I do, however, wholeheartedly agree that both the President and Vice President deserve to be impeached, not only for lying about Iraq, but for illegal surveillance and arrests.

Disgraced Democrat Dann Steps Down
Facing Investigation & Impeachment Ohio AG Resigns
Dann & Gov. Ted Strickland
.
Two of the nine articles of impeachment allege that Attorney General Marc Dann:
> Obstructed the internal investigation into allegations of sexual harassment in his office
. . .
> Committed acts of gross immorality and knew or should have known that his personal conduct undermined the effectiveness and efficiency of the office.
Following in the failed footsteps of another corrupt Democrat, New York Attorney General, Eliot Spitzer, Marc Dann resigned late this afternoon. The Columbus Dispatch newspaper's headline this morning cried out, “Dann denied an exit deal.” Dann must of heard that call loud and clear. The following is an excerpt from the text of the resignation speech given this afternoon a few hours ago by Marc Dann, now the former Attorney General of Ohio. What I included in parenthesis and in capital letters are words that Dann left unsaid in his resignation statement. Matt Patrick, talk show host on WHLO radio in Akron, posted an audio file of Dann’s resignation speech.
“A few days I came before you (THINKING I COULD MAKE THIS SITUATION GO AWAY IF I REFUSED TO DEAL WITH IT AS I SHOULD HAVE) to (MERELY) admit my mistakes (ONLY ONCE IT BECAME KNOWN THAT IT – ONCE I GOT CAUGHT), to take responsibility (THINKING I COULD FOOL YOU STUPID MASSES BY MOUTHING THESE PLATITUDES) and to announce steps is (DISTRACTING AND) giving the Office of Attorney General an administrative backbone (NOT SURE WHAT I MEANT HERE BECAUSE IT IS OBVIOUS THAT I HAVE NO BACKBONE WHEN IT COMES ON DOING THE RIGHT THING OF MY OWN VOLITION DUE TO LACK OF PERSONAL INTEGRITY AND CHARACTER) worthy of the great legal work we were doing in the Office . . .
“I sincerely (YOU BELIEVE ME DON’T YOU?) viewed it as my fiduciary responsibility to fix the problems on my watch (MORE SPECIFICALLY MY LAWLESSNESS AND MY LAW-BREAKING AND MY BREACHING THE PEOPLE’S TRUST), especially as it concerned my own actions (WHICH AFTER ALL, IT WAS PRIMARILY MY BEHAVIOR THAT WAS BOTH IRRESPONSIBLE AND MODELING TERRIBLE LEADERSHIP FOR EVERYONE IN THE OFFICE OF ATTORNEY GENERAL) Unfortunately (FOR ME, THAT THE DAMAGE I CAUSED IS UNREPAIRABLE BUT I REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT UNTIL NOW), it is now clear that the last step I must take (NOT WILLINGLY, I MUST ADD, I AM BEING FORCED, PRESSURED BY OTHERS EVEN IN MY PARTY) to fix the problem is to resign as Attorney General immediately (I DID MANAGE TO INSULT THE PEOPLE OF OHIO FOR SEVERAL WEEKS BY LOITERING, LINGERING BY NOT RESIGNING BECAUSE IT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO – NOT WAIT UNTIL THE DAY THE INSPECTOR GENERAL IS INITIATING AN EXTENSIVE INVESTIGATION OF MY OFFICE AND MYSELF AND THERE IS A GROWING NON-PARTISAN EFFORT TO IMPEACH ME.) . . .
“. . . It has been my priority over the past few weeks (TO REFUSE TO DEAL WITH THE REALITY OF THE SITUATION IN WHICH I GOT MYSELF INTO, HOPING THAT IT WOULD JUST GO AWAY AND) to try to restore those priorities to the forefront of the Office’s work. The vast majority of the 1400 employees of the Attorney General’s Office have been doing outstanding, nationally recognized work (DESPITE THEIR CORRUPT, IMMORAL, UNETHICAL LEADER – LITTLE OLD ME - WHO EVEN ENGINEERED AND ENCOURAGED A SEXUAL HARASSING WORK ENVIRONMENT) . . . I thank them for their incredible service over the past 17 months . . . They deserve (MUCH BETTER THAN WHAT I GAVE THEM AND DESERVE) both to be recognized and to continue their work without the distraction that the political (ACTUALLY, MY MULTIPLE MORAL IMPROPRIETIES AND INDISCRETIONS, FOR WHICH I AM SOLELY RESPONSIBLE) situation that I find myself in has caused them. It is now clear to me (YOU SEE, I AM A VERY SLOW LEARNER) that the only way to protect these (VERY LIBERAL) priorities for the Office of Attorney General and for the people of Ohio (AND MOST IMPORTANT, FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY) is to remove myself from this situation (KICKIN’ AND SCREAMIN’).”
Ohio and its people are better off without Marc Dann. Dann is proof that the Democrats are no different from the Ohio Republicans, who when they gain power are even more corrupt than anything the GOP did. Governor Bob Taft looks like an innocent choir boy compared to the wrong perpetrated by Attorney General Dann. Ironically Dann was swept into statewide office with a lot of other Democrats on the basis of bringing clean government. Today he was put out with the trash . . .
