Republican Martinez implies constitutional requirement for presidency can be bypassed

Another Rino that needs to be voted out!!! I will say I have confirmed this from other sources

A U.S. senator has suggested that voters have made Barack Obama eligible to occupy the Oval Office, whether or not he meets the constitutional mandate of being a "natural born" citizen.

The comments from Sen. Mel Martinez, R-Fla., came in an e-mail sent to a constituent shortly after the election, which just now was forwarded to WND.

The constituent had asked about Martinez's perspective on the issue on which WND and others have reported: claims made by dozens of lawsuits around the country that Obama might not meet the constitutional qualification for various reasons.

"Presidential candidates are vetted by voters at least twice – first in the primary elections and again in the general election. President-Elect Obama won the Democratic Party's nomination after one of the most fiercely contested presidential primaries in American history," Martinez responded.


Though this Senator seems to be all over the board. In another article he compared Obama's tax plans to those in Castro's Cuba. Then he also states that Obama did not play the race card during the campaign. Though he did not vote for the Stimulus because he felt it would not do as desired.

It does look like this problem may resolve itself because:
Senator Mel Martinez (R-FL), former HUD Secretary,
has said that he’s leaving the Senate after his term expires in 2010. Last October, we blogged about him leaving the chairmanship of the GOP, after expressing frustration with the tone that his party has taken with the immigration issue.
