    Do anyone know what would happen if say tomorrow morning we were told the last presidential election in america was rigged and faked and Obama should not be the president.
    What would happen to his current term? Would he be dismissed as president and Vice president take over or nothing?
    Also what would happen to the laws he signed in?


    Next question what would happen if tomorrow he came out and said he isnt american and is Spanish or german etc?
    Would he be dismissed as being a president and the vice president take over or would nothing happen?

    Sure he's a Islamisist or something ain't he?

    George W's election was rigged and he got to stay. Remember those 300 or so votes down in Florida where Jeb Bush reigned at the time?

    Corruption is normality 'round those parts

    "He shouldn't be president?! No wai!"

    "Yeah but Marlboro paid him 240 million"

    "Oh, thats alright then"

    The bills would of been passed by the senate so there would be no problems in terms of that. Im sure there would be a re-election and i would put my left testicle on a republican win.

    Who's "we"? I'm pretty sure neither AH, Boards or Ireland has any power in the US.

    Doesn't mean we can't be informed on what they are doing....




    In reply to the topic: It wouldn't be that simple. Things like that would go through court case after court case all the way to the Supreme Court. I'd imagine the vice president would take over if it was a place-of-birth issue, or the speaker of the house if it was a problem with vote counting.

    He'd get a second term in office (just like the last guy).

    AFAIK there's several court cases in process trying to get Obama impeached, I know there's one which shows that the birth cert he released was a fake, and was cobbled together in Adobe Acrobat & Photoshop.

    Think there's another court case brewing as American military action in Libya was unconstitutional, president is meant to ask Congress before hand, even G.W. Bush did prior to Iraq, and he was as thick as a double ditch! Poor aul' Barry Obama seems to be a Calamity Jane, and purebred liar to boot, he's only bringing troops home from Afghanistan because Ron Paul has being saying the same and getting a positive response.

    If you really believe those things then I feel sorry for you.

    Haha, yes, Obama, the president who swore a hole in a pot that he'd bring the troops home, and then sent more troops over...

    The same president who removed troops and replaced them with contractors / mercinaries (Blackwater / XE)

    Obama is more of a warmonger than Bush ever was, and that's extremely worrying, if you don't believe that then I feel sorry for you.

    Also, please explain why he won the peace prize, for being black???

    FFS I think its fair to assume that If Obama DID want to forge a birth cert he would have had access to more professional forgery techniques.

    What would happen? We have historical examples, the most recent being Nixon. Impeachment, Grand Jurys, and the activation of the 25th Amendment.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    Actually I think if you'd have paid attention during his campaign you would have found that he promised to concentrate on Afghanistan and dedicate more resources to the war, which is what he did. He only talked about reducing troops in the near future in Iraq. Not Afghanistan. When he announced the surge in Afghanistan, he said that troops would start being removed in summer 2011. It is now summer 2011, and as you might have noticed in his speech - troops are now going to start being removed.
    Also, please explain why he won the peace prize, for being black???

    I don't see what that has to do with Obama. He wasn't on the Nobel Committee. He didn't nominate himself. I didn't nominate him either, so I don't see why you think I owe you an explanation.

    I can just imagine him now staying up late at night trying to learn how to use Photoshop.

    Lads Obama is the worst president in the history of American Politics.

    I wont delve into conspiracy theory I'll just factually say that he has reneged on most if not all his key Presidential Campaign Promises.

    Do some research before you spout media garbage.

    Renaging on campaign promises doesn't make you a bad president. Making stupid or corrupt decisions while in office does. See Regan, Nixon, and Bush jr.

    Precisely: it makes you a President!

    Besides that the Executive Branch is not all-powerful. It's balanced out by the Judicial and Legislative. He can't will into being everything he might like. Things like Guantanamo for example faced stiff opposition outside of the executive order to shut it down.

    Not sure what would happen to him re the presidency, but I'm pretty sure his 'Irish relations' would soon realise that there had been a mistake too and that they aren't related after all...
