You can be a citizen because your parents are citizens. But citizenship doesn’t equal eligibility for the office of the President. The requirement, per Article II, for eligibility to be President states you must be born here.
The Democrats are just waiting to spring this on Republicans after the nominating convention.
The US Senate can pass all kinds of nicely worded statements - those do not have the weight of the US Constitution. It can take years to add amendments to the US Constitution.
For the purposes of foreign births, the assumption is that when the father is “assigned” to that duty station, the recorded place of birth is the embassy. THAT is american soil.
You guys are picking nits.
This place is starting to sound like Bill Clinton parsing the meaning of the word “is”. Dont you think there were a few lawyers around vetting this stuff long before we started looking at it.
How about we just beat Obama the old fashioned way—we get more votes that he does. Electoral votes, that is.
As I said, you’re smooth. But you’ll be gone soon.
Oh, because you can actually see the embossed seal and the official certifying signature that is on the back of the document from the front side on the DeCosta COLB. And that's why there is no compelling reason to image the back.
The better question for you to be asking is this. If it's a fraud and Techdude or Polarik have proof, why hasn't Rush or Hannity demanded Obama present the paper document to them?
You ask Hannity and Rush the question. It may break in the Lame Media, give it time...probably before November. The media has a habit of not reporting things that they want kept secret for various reasons...like the John Edwards and his mistress story.
It would be deadly for any other candidate other than Obama; in his case poltical correctness trumps everything. Those who are questioning his credentials are already being called racist. Nothing to be surprised at. Disagreeing with him on any issue is racist, questioning his patriotism is racist, being disgusted with his magalomanic narcissism is racist, fearing his ultra-liberal agenda is racist, even not liking his cartoonish, fascist emblem is racist. Just to show a world (that hates us anyway) how non-racist we are, we are going to doom our traditions, our culture and our sovereignty.
He's one of the many sophists that come and go.
This one has a pro feel about it or at least a former member. It knows site lore.
