I wondered who would be reading that part of the Constitution that specifies that our president must be a natural born citizen. Specifically, Article 2. Section 1.
I flipped to C-Span just as Frank Pallone, D-NJ was reading it. Suddenly he paused, seemingly confused.
Then the Speaker pro tem banged the gavel and admonished guests in the gallery who had voiced their loud disapproval at the hypocrisy displayed on the House floor below.
He ordered the Sergeant at Arms to remove them from the Gallery.
Care to bet which news organizations will report it? If you said none of the MSM, FOX included, you’ll probably be right.
Thirdwavedave is taking your bets.
UPDATE: Fox Radio News just reported that a woman in the Gallery yelled “Except Obama!” when the section was read.
POLITICO reports:
‘Birther’ arrested during Constitution reading
A woman was arrested in the House gallery Thursday after interrupting a reading of the Constitution by yelling out her belief that President Barack Obama is not a natural born citizen of the United States.
When Frank Rep. Pallone (D-N.J.) read the part of Article II, Section 1 mandating that only a “natural-born citizen” may be president, the woman, seated in the front row of the public gallery, screamed “Except Obama, except Obama. Help us Jesus.”
An officer removed her from the gallery as she yelled out “My name is Theresa.”
“You’re under arrest,” the officer could be heard telling her as he led her through double doors at the back of the chamber.
Members are rotating by party as they read short passages from the amended version of the founding document. Speaker of the House John Boehner kicked off the reading, followed by Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.
Other than high attendance on the House floor and participation by leaders and rank-and-file members of both parties, the early part of what was expected to be a roughly two-hour reading was unremarkable until the outburst.
“Birther”. Good grief, when will these imbeciles learn?

GOOD!
They all need reminding!
Nobody has mentioned it as being on their Agenda.
It SHOULD be the FIRST item, it would save a lot of time and m,oney if we just removed “him”
ELIGIBILITY & LAKIN FIRST !!
