The Constitution

Ahhh, the wisdom of our elected representatives:



The occasion is a Senate hearing on illegal immigration. The people asked to stand are illegals who are in attendance to press for the DREAM Act. Senator Durbin, as a senior member of the majority party in that august body, is reading from a prepared script, not speaking extemporaneously.

Apparently no one in Senator Durbin's staff knows about that requirement in the Constitution for the President to be a "natural born citizen".

Maybe a rereading of the whole document would be helpful for him.

A law is only a law if it is enforced. While I don't consider myself a "birther", I did find the whole process interesting in that a large number of people seemed to have the opinion that it really didn't matter where or not president kelvin (the absolute zero of incompetence) was born here or not.

guess that should have read (absolute zero of competence). double negatives, blah!
