From the comments:
ever heard of Thomas Jefferson and separation of church and state and religion not being a test for office; do you use the Constitution for toilet paper or merely to blow your nose..? or was it too much home schooling that created such momumental idiocy?![]()
Any updates from Terry yet???![]()
I dunno, in traditional Kenyan fashion maybe he put his head in a hollow log filled with fire ants until he yelled "Illegal Uncle"!![]()
no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.
Who cares? It's not a requirement of the office that he attend Church. Lincoln hardly ever went to church, and was at a theater on Good Friday (which Ford said was always a slow night due to religious folks staying in, but the President coming might pick up attendance.).
During Reagan's 8 years in the White House he NEVER attended Christmas services.
That's because everything he blathers about is posted in soreloserese ~ the native tongue of the those who can neither grasp nor accept that their candidates lost, leaving them in a perpetual state of attack and denial, usually demonstrated by a constant outpouring of "But what about ________ and what THEY did?!?!" and the philosophy of "Any stick will do" retorts.
It's not much, but it's all they have as a coping mechanism. Hence, whether and where the president went to a Christmas service becomes a major issue and possible scandal in their world.![]()
There is nothing in the Constitution about attending Church or Security clearances......only "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".
So concerned with the "Natural born" citizen" requirement of the Constitution, Senators Obama, Clinton, McCaskill, Leahy, Webb and Coburn submitted and had passed Senate Resolution 511 declaring John S. McCain a "natural born citizen"

Ironic that no such similar resolution was offered to substantiate that Barack Obama, the son of a foreign national, was Constitutionally eligible.
Ironic to some perhaps, but that's only within the birther bubble universe. And none of which has to do with the topic of your own thread.
No doubt many will be positively giddy almost four years from now when we start hearing from that same bubble about Obama's plan for a third term.
But ~ Hey ~ I suppose everyone needs a hobby.![]()
