The military must solve this problem.

No, the voters must solve this problem. Obama was elected and installed into office through a legitimate political process. He was certified to be eligible by the leaders of his party. If we think that he is not, in fact, eligible to be President, then we need to insist that the several states and the Federal Government implement procedures to ensure that candidates for the Office of President of the U.S. present credentials verifying their eligibility before their names can appear on the ballot.

And don't look to the courts for relief either. They won't touch this one with a 10-foot pole. Will they be ignoring the U.S. Constitution? Of course, but that's nothing new, courts and administrations have been ignoring parts of it for years with the full support and endorsement of the electorate.

Only the people can hold government accountable. At the state level that means passing laws requiring credentials, and electing secretaries of state who will enforce those laws. At the federal level, it means that the political parties must forfeit their authority to certify candidates, that is a clear conflict of interest.

Exactly right! If solving a problem involves hurting people and breaking things then it is the military's responsibility. Until it reaches that level, it is government's, and hence our, responsibility.

WRONG --

He was only certified by the Democrat Party and Nancy Pelosi to be eligible for POTUS in Hawaii -- not in the other 49 [or 56] states.

obama was not certified to be eligible by his party. In the past the head of the Democratic party( peolsi) whould have given the A.G. of each state a certified statement that the person running for President was CONSTITUTIONALLY qualified to be President. Hawaii was given one but the rest of the states only received a statement that obama would be representing the democratic party. Attempts to resolve this issue made in 2008 when a hearing was requested on his obama’s eligibity , the hearings were blocked by peolsi and reed.
