Take the test.
FIRST QUESTION: Who IS the actual and lawful 44th President of the USA?
ANSWER: Joe Biden
Biden was initially the Acting President for at least 5 minutes under either the Constitution’s Article 2 or the Constitution’s 20th Amendment, from 12:00 Noon 1/20/09, having already taken his Oath of Office and before Obama completed his ‘oath’ at approximately 12:05 PM, 1/20/09. Under the 20th Amendment if the President-elect shall have failed to qualify, or alternatively under Article 2 if the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties, at the time fixed for the beginning of the term, being 12:00 Noon 1/20/09, which ability and/or qualification includes that he take the Article 2 oath “before he enter on the execution of his office,” then either the Presidency shall devolve on the Vice President under Article 2 or the Vice President shall act as President under the 20th Amendment. (The importance of the oath in ‘commencing’ an ‘Obama Presidency’ — rather than merely the 1/20/09 Noon time — is confirmed by the re-take of the ‘oath’ by Obama at the White House on 1/21/09 after the first ‘oath’ was NOT administered by Justice Roberts NOR recited by Obama in the words as required under Article 2.)
This is significant because at such time that the Supreme Court finally rules on the merits on Obama’s disqualification as not being an Article 2 “natural born citizen” (clearly he is NOT), Biden’s automatic status (without needing to take a separate Presidential Oath) of being President would be predicated upon four different bases: First, having been Vice President under Article 2; second, having been Vice President-elect under the 20th Amendment; third, having been actual President in the hiatus before Obama took the ‘oath(s)’; and fourth, retroactively deemed President during the full period of the Obama usurpation so that the acts of the Federal Government under the usurpation can be deemed authorized and/or ratified by Biden’s legitimacy.
SECOND QUESTION: Who will be the 45th President?
ANSWER: Hillary Clinton
One must assume that Bill and Hillary Clinton have been aware of all of the above. Biden’s wife recently “let the cat out of the bag” on the Oprah Show that both Biden and Hillary had considered alternatively Veep or Secretary of State, in either case, setting up Hillary to be President on a vote of the Democratic Congress if need be.
THIRD QUESTION: Is Obama an unwitting victim of this troika or a knowing participant?
ANSWER: Yet undetermined.

Wow, that’s quite the conspiracy theory. I love how you use brash statements like: “clearly he is NOT”. I would think that once the state of Hawaii verified the authenticity of the document that one could more easily say: “clearly he IS”.

Ted,
Good luck with that.

Anton, are you saying or implying BHO IS a “natural born citizen” under the Constitution’s Article 2? Are you saying that “natural born citizen” under Article 2 is the same thing as “citizen” as under the Constitution’s 14th Amendment? Are you aware that BHO states on his own campaign website that at the time of his birth, BHO’s father was Kenyan/British, not American, citizen; and regardless, despite numerous court cases, he refuses to provide his long form birth certificate on file, under seal, in Hawaii, and that while Hawaiian officials say, yes, there’s a birth certificate there on file, they won’t say that it states or shows that BHO was born in Hawaii?

I’m saying that President Obama was born in Hawaii. Nobody to date has provided proof otherwise. Even if all the attempts succeed in proving his certificate of live birth as a forgery, there still isn’t any proof he was born elsewhere.
At least he’s got one on record in Hawaii. The state in which I was born in unable to find my birth records. Fortunately I still have the original.
