I’ve met two presidential candidates, Newt Gingrich during his visit to Spartanburg, South Carolina, in 2012 and Christopher Earl Strunk at the Farrar v. Obama hearing in Atlanta earlier that same year.
Yes, Mr. Strunk is seeking the office of President of the United States as a candidate of the Natural Born Citizen Party.

would this give him standing for an eligibility lawsuit against cruz and/or rubio?
Also known as “The derp party”.
In his dreams, yes. In reality, unlikely.
Cody Robert Judy didn’t succeed either, at least in part because courts saw no cognizable injury because he could not make a reasonable case the Obama votes would’ve gone to him in any measurable amount. In other words, a candidate who stands less than a snowball’s chance in hell of being elected is not injured by the potential ineligibility of another candidate.
So I can hear the campaign theme song and motto: “We Got The Funk” With Chris Earl Strunk.
He dropped the “:” and the “in esse” from his name, does that means he’s given up on his SovCit garbage or is he running as his “virtual legal persona”?
The address for the Natural Born Citizen Party’s committee is the home of Strunk’s birther pal and repeatedly failed litigant, H. William Van Allen.
Wait, are we sure Strunk is a natural born citizen? Anyone seen his BC? I’ll bet he’s Canadian!!! 😀
Shouldn’t he be running for the position of CEO of The United States of America, Inc.?
A single issue party, with no platform. Never thought that a political party would be founded based on nothing more that denial and multiple failed frivolous lawsuits. Well, it will gather only votes from birthers who want to deny one final fact.
1. No this wouldn’t give him standing. He has no shot of getting anywhere on the ballot. Just like the supposed write-in candidate Mark Graham who showed up on the fogbow.
2. Is he going to ask for public funding of his campaign?
Strunk is the essence of low unintellectual comedy, as he has continued to prove over the last several years, and has grown very thin by this point as a one joke jackass.
I would like to announce my candidacy for President of the United States, as the duly-elected candidate of the Cocktail Party.
Four more beers! Four more beers!
So all one has to do to be a presidential candidate is file a form with the FEC? I like the way the Birthers like Cody Robert Judy and Leah Lax touted this as if it is a big deal.
At least he filed, something that Clinton, Rubio, Christie, Paul and Carson have yet to do. In a legal sense, he is a candidate and they are not.
You need an auditable five grand. I always assume that people wait to file because they actually have trouble getting a clean five grand together. I find it notable which supposed candidates haven’t filed, and that the hundreds who have filed are never mentioned.
Only need to file with the FEC if you raise and/or spend money. And, while I’m on the subject, although there are filing requirement in every state to get on the ballot, you don’t have to be on the ballot to win.
To be a candidate, you don’t really need to do anything.
Of course, actually getting one’s name on a ballot is another matter altogether.
Clinton, Rubio, and Paul _have_ filed. You can check here: http://www.fec.gov/press/resources/2016presidential_form2nm.shtml
So, btw, has “Sydneys Voluptuous Buttocks”. And about 275 others.
I dunno whether Christie will bother, given that his chances are the only thing “slim” about him.
I watched Rachel Maddow last night, and she said that Carson was going to announce something (probably that he’s running) a week from Tuesday. Fiorina has “pre-announced” for the day before. Maddow thought it tacky that Fiorina picked a day on which yet a third candidate is supposed to announce, because the news exposure from the announcement is so important to “minor” candidates who can’t afford to buy a lot of publicity.
Personally, I think it’s ridiculous that we have people starting their campaigns almost two years before they could take office. Many wars didn’t last that long.
