1. Well, you might want to check out President Carter being sworn in.

I don't think "Jimmy" is his legal name either. Not that it matters -- because it doesn't.

2. I don't know how it works in other states. but in Illinois,

if you use any name consistently for 7 years, it becomes your legal name. The same may be true in Louisiana.

14. So according to that law my name is officially "Hey asshole"...

..my wife has used that as my name consistently for at LEAST the last 7 years when talking to me...

3. plus I've never seen his birth certificate

what's he hiding?

[MADem]

4. Jimmy Carter did it. Not a good idea to go there....nt

[wuushew]

5. Constitution has Carter covered

But yes shame on him. One area where Clinton bettered Carter

[Clintonista2]

8. Except for that whole "re-election" thing

Carter just couldn't get the hang of that, could he?

6. Did THAT PERSON manifest an intent to swear THAT OATH

Yes.

Aside from which, I guess a lot of folks don't realize that a written oath is also signed (which, yes, Obama did on the 20th of Jan in addition to the ceremony).

7. I have not personally seen his birth certificate, so he MUST be illegitimate...

:crazy:

9. the problem would be if he signs legal stuff with it... his bio makes

no mention of him ever legally changing it.

[wuushew]

10. Mr. identity fraud signs it "Bobby"

[jberryhill]

12. You can legally sign your name with an "X" if you want

This stuff is just stupid silliness.

Your "signature" is anything you use or adopt as a mark intended to be your signature.

Outside of those whose law school was "over yonder past the woodpile", a signature is whatever someone uses as such.
