Geraldo: When you run for president don't you have to, in all the numerous documents you file, don't you have to prove you were born in the United States?

Huckabee flippantly replies: No, you actually don't

And, in a related story, GERALDO - “You don’t have to be anything near intelligent to get on TV. Just look at me and Huck!”

The media searched birth records for Pat Nixon.

Huckabee is exactly right. There is nothing (that I know of) to keep the Republicans from running a German and the Democrats from running a Swede. However, neither one could be elected by the Electoral College: that's where the issue of citizenship reaches 'ripeness'.

Where would Klein stumble across such detailed information?

Interesting that the president of CNN, is telling researchers the detailed facts of a situation.

Can we see klein’s sources, methods, and work papers?

Did the CNN president just get a phone call from the disinformation Czar?

Isn’t that disgusting? Huckabee presents himself - “a man of God”. Makes me want to puke.

Looks like from these letters that Herzfeld made a logical point.

Huckabee’s response letter was flippant and dismissive, arrogantly so.

Didn’t his pardon and parole policies end up biting him in the rear?

The Constitution includes no mechanism for determining the citizenship status of a candidate for a very simple reason.

The original Constitution did not have the people voting for President at all. They instead voted for members of the Electoral College which would then elect the president. The EC would be a small elite group that would be quite capable of determining qualifications for itself. The Convention did not want to tie the hands of the EC by providing rules for its operation that would be unnecessary in any case.

The EC never once really functioned as intended. Everybody knew Washington would be elected by acclamation, which he was, twice.

By the time of the 3rd election candidates for EC were running while openly pledging themselves to vote for a particular candidate, which eliminates most of the rationale for having an EC.

Mr. Ailes, are you insane? If you continue to employ these lunk heads your channel will flounder.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

All it would take to sink Fox like a rock, cripple talk radio, and eliminate the Marxist mainstream media would be a 24 hour, Internet based, **conservative** news program!

I too am done with the blondes, the RINOs, and the constant stream of Marxists on Fox. I can not stand to hear O’Reilly, Shep, or Geraldo’s voices.

Every time I even see a You Tube clip of Hannity or Malkin I am reminded of how much they did NOT say about Obama’s eligibility. And....Beck and Coulter were insulting.

It’s obvious there is no set, legally mandated procedure, including a standard, challenge, appeal and remedy process, for proving eligibility.

That is the problem here and one which must be fixed.

Right now, apparently, the eligibility of a candidate is left to party hacks on a “trust me, I’m Nancy Pelosi” basis. Thereafter, unless some huge political groundswell occurs, which may or may not be founded, there is apparently no way to review the decision of the party hack, much less hold it to a clearly articulated legal standard, challenge it, or remedy it.

This is why, even if one believes Obama is eligible to be POTUS, that so-called birther laws are a step in the right direction.

As time goes on, the number of people with unclear family and national backgrounds will increase. There’s no reason not to clear this up now, to save the nation from going through this crappola again and again in the future.

If the law is challenged, so much the better. Get a judicial read on it, everybody figure out exactly what the process is going to be, carry on.

Wow, Huckabee sure has put on weight since 2008...I mean a lot. I haven’t seen a pic of him in a very long time.

I vaguely recall reading he already decided against a run. Between the weight gain and the new big house in Florida, I think its obvious he won’t be running.

I also think many of those who supported Huckabee in polls will swing to Palin (even though I think they are very different) due to social issues.

As for his birth cert, etc., I don’t think they will ever take this seriously. He probably was born in Hawaii...but is hiding his birth cert for some other reason (e.g. “father unknown” or religion “muslim” or something like that.).

Whether he was born in the US or not, we should see the birth certificate because presidents should be an open book. The media will sure make sure any republican is wide open, why not communists/demonrats?

Anybody with a security clearance knows you can hide nothing. The president only gets vetted by the people, so the people need to see everything. That is just part of the deal to become the most powerful person in the world.

Birth Certificate, hell obama couldn't pass the feds background check for minimal security clearance.

He could not work for any of the departments that he is boss over; NSA, FBI, CIA, ATF, none of them.
