The wisdom of the Founding Fathers is once again on display for any of their Posterity who still possess the ability to reason and understand. The Electoral College was created exactly for the situation America is in today. The Electoral College was basically designed to protect the Constitution from a demagogue. It was designed to be a buffer against someone just like Obama. Obama used his gift of gab, charisma, and fantastic promies to get himself elected President. In Obama's case of course he is also unable or unwilling to prove his eligibility for the President.
The Electoral College was created to keep the American people from doing something stupid like electing a Kenyan? Indonesian? Englishman? the President of the United States. It is in place to prevent the 'will of the people' from destroying the United States.
It is the duty of the Electors of the Electoral College to ensure that the person they make President is indeed eligible for the office. Clearly, if that person is unable to prove that he is a 'natural born citizen' then he is not eligible for the office, and it is the duty of the Electoral College to elect someone who is.
The Electoral College in most years is a formality, but in a year when a majority of voters have been taken in by a gifted and audacious liar it is not a formality. Nothingless than the ultimate survival of this nation is at state this year. If a foreign citizen is allowed to take the Presidency then we have not Constitution. America as its been will be dead.
The Founders have given us the means to thwart this imposter. The rest is up to us. It is a test. It is a question. Do we have the will to preserve this Constitution for OUR POSTERITY?
