Over the past few weeks, we’ve heard a lot of talk about Obama’s religion. Is he a Muslim, is he a Christian, or is he a practicing (George)Bush-Doctor from the jungles of Kenya. But what we haven’t heard mentioned is that this question is already settled by the United States Constitution that states no religion test is required for office.
Where’s all the patriotic Constitution loving right wingers now. Have I lost anyone yet? Are you still there reading? Okay, continuing…
Article 6 of the Constitution states:
“The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.”
So is that the point where the right wingers tune out? Is this where you “change channel” and switch to Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck for reinforcement, for reassurance as to why you should continue questioning President Obama’s religion? So now your pocket size Constitution is irrelevant?
