Clinton set to concede delegate race to Obama

[Astrojewels]

I thought that a person who was not born in the US could not run for presidency?
I don’t believe it is the end for Hilary, she is a Scorpio and will not give up that easy, if she does not join him like you say, she will make his job very hard. She is not going to put in all that work and just walk away, I just do not see it. there has to be a hidden plan here that is unknown at this moment in time.

I agree AJ . Hilary is not done. The Clintons have been pretty ruthless and who knows what they are capable of. You are right about Arnold too. In order to run for President, you must be born in the USA.

Yes, as it stands now one must have been born on US soil to be able to become President of the USA. I don't know about VP but it stands to reason that same would apply. However should something happen to the President I believe it is the Speaker of The House of Represenatives who takes charge in the interim.

How far up the Elite's Food Chain is billionaire Warren Buffett?  In Time Magazine in 2007 he said:

"Referring to the won't-die chatter about Bloomberg running for president as an independent, Buffett says that as he mused about that scenario, he consulted the Constitution. "I wanted to see if Schwarzenegger could be his Vice President," the businessman tells Time. "I think he could," given that the born-an-American-citizen requirement for the top of the ticket is not mentioned for the occupant of the No. 2 slot. Says Buffett: "That would be one hell of a team, wouldn't it?"

Yeah, it'd be hell alright!  :shock:

Ah-nold wants to change US Constitution - Link here.

Link to United States presidential line of succession.  VP takes over if Pres. is removed for whatever reason.

Qualifications for the Vice President are the same as for the President. One must be a native born citizen of the United States ,be of at least 35 years of age and have resided at least 14 years within the United States.

Should there be an interim between the removal or disability or demise of the President and the installation of the Vice President to President ,the Speaker of the House is the Acting President.

This has been and is a subject of debate given various scenarios within the government and the application of the framework of the Constitution.

Consider this example. The demise of one of the Presidential candidates?

               or

 in the event both the President and the VP have died or are disabled Article ll gives Congress the power to decide what officer should act as President. That brings us to the question as to who should be that officer and in the event that both the President and the VP have died how long should that officer preside?

These issues aren't clearly covered within the framework as it stood in 2002 however there has ,since 2002 , been a controversial revised(I think) Continuity of Government Plan that I have yet to familiarize myself with.


That being said some may find this article of interest:

It’s all very interesting, perhaps the person who has been left out of the charade will end up with the top job – McCain, but he just seems so old whenever I have seen him on the TV, as citizens of the US, do you think either candidates will make good changes to your country, because that is all that is important at the end of the day, what changes do the citizens of the US want in general.

If the Power Elite wants Mc Cain, he will be Pres., .... The disturbing thing is, he was a POW in Viet Nam for years and one wonders what could have been done to him during that time. Anyone see and remember the Manchurian Candidate movie ?

[DreamTime]

Yep, saw the movie...in fact, have the movie.

But I heard that McCain wasn't a typical "POW." He was kept in one of their "hotels" because they knew he was important.

I thought Obama and Clinton were sleeping together in 1 bed this weekend, because of visiting the Bilderberg meetings ?
