House Republicans' reading of the Constitution was interrupted Thursday by a woman who shouted "except Obama, except Obama" to the venerable document's words on a U.S. citizen's eligibility to be president.
Just as Rep. Frank Pallone, D-N.J., was reading "no person, except a natural-born citizen, or a citizen of the United States" is eligible for the presidency, a woman in the visitor's gallery yelled out that it did not apply to President Barack Obama.
In any case I think Congress should read the Constitution aloud at the start of every new Congress as a reaffirmation of the founding document. I mean if not for that scrap of paper those people could not even justify their own jobs. In fact you could say that if not for the Constitution we (and possibly many other nations) might not even have a democratic government at all.
