As citizens we should be highly interested in seeing that the Constitution is observed. Allow one such violation, and what's the next part to be ignored?
Buahahahahahahahahahahahahah! Welcome to the election issue if the century!( This is what all the anti birther spin is about, they do not want it as a November election issue.)
Article II of the US Constitution. Obama does not meet the requirements any more than Arnold Schwartzenegar would, but the treasonous ba$tard ( yes ,look at Obamas policies, none of them in the best interests of our nation, ALL are calculated to destroy America..............TREASONOUS!)is sitting in the White House as a president?
He needs to go. Show him the door!
Oh, yes. Who is this Woodward person anyway? What is his background? That is, why does it matter what he has to say about anything?
How is this for a reason?
There is now a Lt. Col actively serving our country in the armed forces who is under court martial for asking for evidence right now.
Our military is worried, and Obama could care less. It is incumbent on people to protect the military that protects us.
No such thing as being “under court martial.”
An Article 32 investigation is being conducted because he failed to comply with orders to report to Fort Campbell.
Because even if he was born in Hawaii, he is not eligible to be President. The definition of "NATURAL BORN" is different than native born. The Supreme Court, the final arbiter of these matters, has ruled that NATURAL BORN means being born of two parents who are CITIZENS. Barry's father, if it was Obama Sr, was a Kenyan citizen.
The court decided this was the intent of the Founders.
I really think this is the reason the Obama camp wants to continue the current controversy, it keeps the REAL problem out of the light.
Better read it again. There is also a 14 year residency requirement. It's debatable if that means the 14 preceding years, or just any periods totaling 14 years. I tend to think the former, as being consistent with tending to ensure the current loyalty to the Republic, of he who would be President. But many believe the later.
No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
I'd prefer documentation of Natural Born, that being the requirement laid out in the Constitution.
Not unless it shows someone other than Barack Hussein Obama Sr, as the father. Someone who is a US citizen.
Not unless it shows someone other than Barack Hussein Obama, temporary resident alien, as the father. Someone who is a US citizen.
Of course then there would be the issue of the Forged COLB that his campaign has admitted posting and allowing fact-check.org to photograph.
If "The Birthers" didn't exist, Tea Obama would invent them. The whole Birth Certificate issue is of great use to Team Obama because it allows them to conflate "Native Born" with "Natural Born," while actually proving neither.
Furthermore, while a 1961 Hawaii Car Title, or Dog License is apt to be an honest document, a 1961 Hawaii Birth Certificate is somewhat less so. It was quite common for relatives living in Hawaii to apply for, and easily get, Hawaiian Birth Certificates for foreign-born children. The authorities have no clue which are for real, and which were fudged by relatives. So, if a BC turns up for Obama, amendments and all, there's no guarantee that it is an honest document. It certainly, however, would be an Hawaiian Birth Certificate. BTW, lots of Hawaiian natives in those days didn't even have BC's, getting them as needed to prove their ancestry to qualify for state programs, dragging in aged realtives as "witnesses." Hawaiian BC from the 50's and 60's? A mess!
But so what? No matter where he was born, Obama cannot be a traditonally viewed, Article II, "Natural Born Citizen." Only one of his parents was a citizen. Fathered out of wedlock by someone else who was an American Citizen? Possible, but since BHO, Sr. accepted paternity, and might bave even been married to Stanley Ann, legally he's it. (Although there's no proof of their marriage, there certainly is proof of their divorce, in which he again accepts paternity.)
By continuslly mixing these two concepts, i.e., place of birth and circumstances of birth, anti-Obama forces have been driven from the courts. The BC and Documentation Issues belong in Hawaii, where the law says the documents must ... eventually...be produced. The question of OBama's eligibility belongs in Washington, DC, at the Federal District Court.
Taken together in one Orly-style lollapalooza pleading, the two issues weaken each other. Pursued separately, in the correct courts, they strenghten each other. By not recognizing this, we have given Team Obama an easy string of courtroom victories, prevented the real issues from even being heard, and given the defacto POTUS a 2-year head start in his illegitimate term.
