After making clear they weren't going to mention the slavery bits, or prohibition, members of the House of Representatives proceeded to read aloud the U.S. Constitution to open the second day of the 112th Congress. As they reached the Article II requirement that the president must be a natural born citizen, a woman in the gallery got up and screamed, "Except Obama," and added something about Jesus (video here). The outburst invited a terse gaveling from the chair.
*Update: David Weigel at Slate has tracked down the birther screamer. Her name is Theresa Cao and, naturally, she has a blog. Peruse it here if you'd like.

I guess we hear what we want to hear. I originally thought she said ACCEPT Obama...
