Has Mitt proven he is over 35 yet?
 
2012-05-30 05:25:49 PM
Of course he's an unicorn, just as it was foretold in the golden tablets.

The Constitution says the president has to be a person. I don't see anything there about species.

--------------------------------------------------------------------- - -------------------------------------------------------------

Eligibility

Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution sets the principal qualifications one must meet to be eligible to the office of president. A president must:

be a natural-born citizen of the United States;[note 1]
be at least thirty-five years old;
have been a permanent resident in the United States for at least fourteen years.

A person who meets the above qualifications is still disqualified from holding the office of president under any of the following conditions:

Under the Twenty-second Amendment, no person can be elected president more than twice. The amendment also specifies that if any eligible person who serves as president or acting president for more than two years of a term for which some other eligible person was elected president, the former can only be elected president once. Scholars disagree whether anyone no longer eligible to be elected president could be elected vice president, pursuant to the qualifications set out under the Twelfth Amendment.[64]

Under Article I, Section 3, Clause 7, upon conviction in impeachment cases, the Senate has the option of disqualifying convicted individuals from holding other federal offices, including the presidency.[65]

Under Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment, no person who swore an oath to support the Constitution, and later rebelled against the United States, can become president. However, this disqualification can be lifted by a two-thirds vote of each house of Congress.

Klivian: Now, GOP, we know you don't like the girls, but could you please stop using legislation to pull their pigtails?
Dems, we know you don't like bullies, but if you don't stand up for yourself, they'll never learn to respect you


again with the homosexuality as an insult, bit.

And my prob with dems isn't that they don't like bullies, it's that they like them exactly as much and pretend not to.

No. Because then some blogger named Yamino, who is the voice of all handicapped people on the internet and emperor of the mentally challenged, will tell us how we're just laughing at the disabled because of Derpy.

/Yamino can go fornicate herself with an axe handle.


Actually, I've done a complete 180 on that change. She's a bit clumsy, but constantly strives in spite of it; it's adorable. She does NOT have down's syndrome. Making her out to be some idiot, a Jar Jar Binks-esque, comic relief character, existing only to be laughed at by all, runs expressly against the entire theme for the show, isn't true to the character, and really isn't a fair assessment if her abilities.

As beefoe points out, the question of a candidate's unicornity isn't constitutionally relevant, so this campaign-- whilst vaguely entertaining-- is both stupid and pointless as long as Gov. Romney is over 35, has lived in the States for at least 14 years, and was either a) born in the USA or b) born abroad with two US citizens as parents. Aside from that, he could be an underpants gnome and still qualify for the ballot (at least until the Court rules on the implication of humanity in the Constitution's eligibility requirements).

But yes, he's most likely a Vogon or a replicant.

Careful, you might start some precedent there. Seeing as how corporations are granted free speech, they must be persons too. I think we should elect Haliburton as the POTUS!

Who's with me!?
 
2012-05-30 05:33:22 PM
Now that I look at that, we really should define "person". If we don't we could potentially elect a jackass as president.

Oops, too late.

I was actually just talking to people on Coast 2 Coast AM about this very issue!

My real concern is that G. W. Bush is a Changeling that has taken a new form as Barack Obama. I do believe that the only way we can rid ourselves of Bush is by electing a true born unicorn. The people I've been in contact with have told me that Trump has actually figured this out, and this is why he is raising these "birther" issues. Because he knows that Obama prior to 2008 is a projection into the minds of people created by other Changelings. At that point Bush assumed a new form and now projects his true self as he once projected Obama. As you can see his powers have grown.

The evidence of this is everywhere! Everyone knows Changelings must educate themselves in their art in Indonesia. And must be "fathered" aka "re-born" by an East African skilled in these arts. Which is why Obama appears younger than G. W. Bush. And once the change had been completed we learned this about Obusha! He even mocks us with the evidence!

blogs.sfweekly.com

You've heard how Bush Sr. was a member of the CIA, and the Bilderberg/illuminati. He learned that he was too old to be allowed to learn these secrets but was able to place his son into these groups. I also believe that Bush Sr. has passed some of this soul/spirit in an attempt an immortality. Which Bush Jr. just stole which is why Obama appeared so lifelike to everyone.

This election is not about the president, it is control of the high illuminati priest position. A struggle between those that would usher in the New World Order brainwashing American concentration camps and those that stuck with the Knights Templar honor before the split into the present day illuminati (aka the Mormons).

reillan: WTF Indeed: [j.wigflip.com image 500x375]

I seriously got an email from my dad asking why we don't know who all of Obama's highschool girlfriends were... it was like 3 pages long.

I replied "because no one cares, and if they did, they'd actually investigate... perhaps by reading one of the 40 biographies published about him..."


are they afraid he might have been using his partial 'whiteness' to bang white girls?

I'll use simple logic to prove he's not a unicorn.

1. Everybody loves unicorns.* (See MLP:FIM for further information)

2. Mitt Romney is despised by a lot of people*. (Based on Fark opinion)

3. Therefore, not everyone loves Mitt Romney.

4. Mitt Romney is not a unicorn.

I agree with this. Mit might not be a unicorn, but he might be some kind of robot.

Or that car from Knight Rider renamed and repackaged into human form waiting to turboboost his polling.

baronbloodbath:

No, no they don't. Unicorns are for people who like a horse with a phallic symbol on it's head that's only tamed based on whether or not some blond waif still has her hymen. Why are you exposing your kids to that filth?

Pegasus on the other hand are for thrill-seekers. Sitting bare-back on a horse not enough for you, biatch? Well here is a horse that can fly and parachutes haven't been invented yet!

A GIS of Mitt Romney results in photos that only show the upper portion of his body. In the few photos where he is shown full frontal, he is always flanked by others, obscuring a view of his posterior.

I suspect he is more of a centaur than a unicorn.

Isitoveryet: tenpoundsofcheese: Sununu is right.

CNN loves keeping this in the news instead of just discarding it because it takes the focus away from 0bama and the economy.

What economy?


The economy that is terrible and crashing, despite all those "evidence" and "facts" that indicate it's improving in every way.

But I need to get 50.1% or more, and I'm appreciative to have the help of a lot of good people

What happens if he actually does get 50.1% of the popular vote and we end up in another situation like in 2000? Do conservatives argue that he wins the election by right, or do they cede to the courts?

Since he was born in Michigan, isn't he ineligible for the Ohio ballot? My parents are pretty damn convinced there are only 49 states. I think that makes him a Mexican-Canadian in their eyes.
