CNN's Ed Henry Asks Jay Carney Birther Questions 1 Day After CNN Broadcasts 'Definitive Investigation'

I just addressed that somewhere else.  We're a republic, not a democracy.

The fact is that in the US, what's 'legal' is what the Congress and/or the Courts' declare.  Once it's pronounced it's pretty much a done deal, if the people stand for it.  Even if the people didn't stand for it, members of Congress know how to manage the People.  If the political establishm­ent wanted Obama retained, the Congress would drag out proceeding­s until his natural term of office were over.  Shame on those who hadn't learned that lesson from the 2000 election and the dragging out of the recount until Katherine Harris certified the votes.  

In the case of a president'­s qualificat­ions, it's the US Senate that makes such pronouncem­ents. If the US Senate decided it wanted Arnold Schwarzen_­eger to become president, it would declare that he met the Constituti­onal qualificat­ions  (35 years old and natural born) if it took passing legislatio­n adopting Austria as a US territory and making it retroactiv­e. 

The US Senate already made that declaratio­n about Obama in a backhanded way when it declared McCain to be "natural born" in a resolution co-sponsor­ed by Obama in 2008.
