Technically Obama is the 45th president, not 44th.

 

See, Bush's term ended by the constitution's ruling at 12 AM EST today. At this time, a musical act composed by John Williams was going on.

 

Joe Biden had been sworn in, but Obama hadn't.

 

So, technically, Joe Biden is the 44th president, Obama is the 45th, and Biden's term has replaced the one that died in a few weeks of pneumonia as the shortest term.

Biden wasn't voted for President, and Obama was not MIA.

Yes, but he was sworn in. An illegitimate president, but still a president technically speaking. It's very shaky, but technically true.

 

MIA as in Made In America, MIA as in Missing In Action or MIA as in something else?

Wrong. According to the Constitution, whether sworn in or not, at 12:01 eastern time, the President-Elect becomes the President of the United States. So at 12:01 Obama became the 44th President. Biden was never the President.

I think anyone would have figured it out in this case.

A certain overly-Republican member here who managed to get my AIM and enjoys putting down Obam tried to start a conspiracy that he was an illegal immigrant, so not really. ><

There WAS an issue a while ago about how he was actually born in Kenya and then brought to the United States, but it's since been resolved that he was indeed born in the United States. (It has to have been, otherwise he wouldn't be eligible for the presidency).

Or the fact that one of his parents was an American studying abroad.

All of you are wrong, Obama is the 43rd president to serve because Grover Cleveland was elected for two non-consecutive terms.

Grover was the 22nd, and then the 24th.

 

It counts like that if it is non-consecutive.

Actually, unless they've found his birth certificate, nothing can be proven. The man is a very good lier, so it's not known for certain where he was born. What also isn't known is that he is only, like, 2% black, so, technically, he isn't the first black president.

 

Obligatory 24 statement: David Palmer for President 2012! :P

 

Inaccurate statement, as claimed by Omi and verified by myself through CNN, crossed out. ~ Neccy

Ummm, they did find his birth certificate. He was born in Hawaii.
