The Rebirth of Birthers?
American Thinker ^ | April 6, 2012 | William Sullivan

Posted on 04/06/2012 1:43:13 AM PDT by Flotsam_Jetsome

Two years, three months, and seven days after his inauguration, Barack Obama finally offered evidence to prove his eligibility for the presidency. On the White House website, officials posted an electronic document purported to be a scan of Barack Obama's long-form birth certificate. It was a grand "I told you so" moment for the media and the left, which had worked feverishly to marginalize "birthers" as the radical counterpart of the zany "truther."

Of course, there was never really any parity. Truthers constructed silly conspiracy theories about George W. Bush being an international super-criminal that orchestrated impossibly complex measures to frame al-Qaeda on 9/11. Birthers, on the other hand, merely demanded that the president, who is required by the Constitution to be a natural born American citizen, show proof of his eligibility. And in reality, that is an entirely reasonable expectation, albeit unprecedented.

Nonetheless, birthers were marginalized as fringe elements, and since the release of the electronic scan of the birth certificate, the concerns of birthers have become even more ignored in the public discourse. As an example of the how the media now views the birther movement, consider that the Huffington Post describes it as a "controversy that has been widely debunked but which remains alive in the eyes of some conservatives."

New evidence, however, has reignited conservative interest in Obama's birth certificate. Conservative icon Sherriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona, at the behest of a petition presented by the Surprise, Arizona Tea Party organization, organized a "cold case posse" and completed a six-month examination of the released birth certificate in order to determine its authenticity. The results are in, Joe says, and they point to the document being a fake.

it may be a law ... but it’s not a Constitutional requirement to assuming the office.

Maybe not, but this mere "law" as a trigger mechanism, carries specific definitions and executable penalties.

Penalties for Failure to Register for the Draft

Men who do not register could be prosecuted and, if convicted, fined up to $250,000 and/or serve up to five years in prison. In addition, men who fail to register with Selective Service before turning age 26, even if not prosecuted, will become ineligible for:

Student Financial Aid - including Pell Grants, College Work Study, Guaranteed Student/Plus Loans, and National Direct Student Loans.

(Hmmmmm...)

U.S. Citizenship - if the man first arrived in the U.S. before his 26th birthday.

(Hmmmmm again)

Federal Jobs - men born after December 31, 1959 must be registered to be eligible for jobs in the Executive Branch of the Federal government and the U.S. Postal Service.

Looks pretty cut and dried...add any racketeering/election fraud/treason charges you want, and extrapolate that criminal case.

They sealed all of Obama’s records, because any one of them would prove he is a fraud. He’s a ghost.

Your US Senator is as dumb if not part of the conspiracy to pawn off such a shallow deceitful reading of Constitutional citizenship. The 14th Amendment speaks to the simple class of ‘citizens’. The Constitution mandates a more specific and restricted ‘natural born citizen’ for POTUSA. There are many in Congress and even in the courts and military who prefer your Senator’s comprehension for one reason or others. Few public officials are elected because of their knowledge of the Constitution or desire for such.
