You obviously do not understand the Constitution, as nowhere in it, does it allow a non-president to be impeached.

Right, no!

No, right!

A non-president is not the president, whether the SCOTUS rules on it or not.

Left, left, left, left, fw'd, halt!

You do not appear to understand what "contradicted" means.

Do the following statements contradict each other?
1. A platypus is a mammal.

2. A platypus is a mammal that lays eggs.
Take your time. Google if you need to.

Some are. They are not mutually exclusive.

An Italian is also not a German. Yet my children are both.

The article makes the claim that Arthur's father's age is represented differently in different sources. It makes no claim that Arthur himself was responsible for any of them.

That's a neat trick, since Jay's letter offers no definition for natural born citizen whatsoever.

You must be reading a different letter.

Since Obama is the actual President, your point would be... what exactly?

"Natural born citizens" are purely American by law of circumstances, i.e., born in the United States of two citizen parents.

It takes a certain pedigree to qualify for president of the United States.

Mongrel yes, but pedigree mongrel only.

Does your dog have "papers"?

He's not a non-president, however. He is, right now, the President of the United States. He will remain the president until proven to be unable to occupy the office. Correct?

Done, guilty. I actually hope they're lenient - excise him from the service, there's no need to destroy him.
Hmmm... and yet Watada, who failed to deploy because 'he thought' the war was illegal, walked.
A Mistrial for Lieut. Watada - TIME

Lakin fails to deploy because he thinks Obama is an ineligible and illegitimate CIC and therefore unathorized to order military troop deployment to Afghanistan, and he's convicted.

Then again, Watada had Sean Penn on his side. Lakin's supporters merely include a retired 3-Star General. Priorities, priorities. Must let Hollywood dictate military actions, you know.

There's your unequal military justice. Hope the troops are taking note.
