'Birther' arrested during Constitution reading

A woman was arrested in the House gallery Thursday after interrupting a reading of the Constitution by yelling out her belief that President Barack Obama is not a natural born citizen of the United States.

When Frank Rep. Pallone (D-N.J.) read the part of Article II, Section 1 mandating that only a "natural-born citizen" may be president, the woman, seated in the front row of the public gallery, screamed "Except Obama, except Obama. Help us Jesus."

An officer removed her from the gallery as she yelled out "My name is Theresa."

"You're under arrest," the officer could be heard telling her as he led her through double doors at the back of the chamber.

Members are rotating by party as they read short passages from the amended version of the founding document. Speaker of the House John Boehner kicked off the reading, followed by Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.

Other than high attendance on the House floor and participation by leaders and rank-and-file members of both parties, the early part of what was expected to be a roughly two-hour reading was unremarkable until the outburst.

4. Yep. She will be hailed as a hero

just like the guy who yelled "Liar"

What is ironic is that while we groan over her behavior, some here would cheer if the tables were turned and it was a Dem disrupting while Boehner was at the podium.

8. I see they got the spineless Dems to go along with this waste of time and energy.

How pathetic.

We should prove what patriots we are by proposing that the entire Constitution be read DAILY, since it's so important. I mean, it only takes 2 hours.
