Link only - Suit challenges Obama's birth place
If he is a natural born citizen, I don’t understand his reasoning for not providing it. Why let the speculation continue and risk this “wild” rumor cost you votes?
has Corsi said anything in person since back from Kenya?
It’s not costing him any votes. People who are going to vote for Obama don’t care whether he’s legally qualified or not.
The only thing that could cost him votes would be actually being disqualified, and that can happen only if he is forced to produce the birth certificate and he either can’t do so or it reveals that he was born out of the country. Increasingly, I’m beginning to think this is the case, but since there’s no cost to him in not producing it, we’ll never know.
$200. That's cheap. It wouldn't hurt a judge in a Republican state to issue a judgement against Obama to produce a valid copy of his birth certificate. I wish there was a lawsuit in every state in the Union.
I just want to know why there is no requirement to prove being a natural born citizenship prior to running for president.
I agree. However, I would hope that someone would go and find the documentation. Nothing like a good impeachment hearing to roll these partisan media clowns back on their butts. Just because he won’t provide it, that doesn’t mean we can’t find it.
That is just flat out wrong. It's ignorance to say that. This, along with other questions about Obama all add up to give enough doubt to sway some in the middle.
If Obama were honest, he would just turn over his COLB to a judge that asked for it. Since he doesn’t, he is admitting he is dishonest.
I’m really mostly concerned with the flaw that’s been exposed in our system. A flaw exposed is a flaw that will be exploited at some point.
For the sake of argument. Lets say Obama is elected and it’s later that we find him to be inelgible. The democrats will fight to keep him in office and probably win. Foreign govts. will see that and before long we’ll have foreign candidates petitioning the supreme court for their “right” to run in our elections and citing Obama as an example that set the precedent.
Not fixing this system that leaves candidates elgibilty unvetted leaves us open to electoral anarchy. Can you say “President George Soros” or President “Kofi Annan”?
(((Shudder)))
You sir, mis-state the facts. Obviously you are not really up on the law. Therefore, you are well advised to shut the old pie-hole.
TOTALLY FALSE.
The MSM is owned by their sponsors.
The Democrat cry will be that he aced two of the three requirements, what do we want- perfection? Come on, cut the brother some slack! Two out of three ain't bad!
The laws in regard to citizenship are, listening to the lawyers talk on this subject it seems not so simple it seems. BHO is only a natural born citizen if his mother was 18 years old and had also resided continuously up to that age for 5 years when BHO was born.
I hope that I got all of that right, the laws regarding citizenship may have not been met for BHO if Sydney was underage when giving birth in Kenya.
TOTALLY FALSE.
All you have to do is notify the government as to the birth of the child. And since you are just shouting and not providing any proof to refute my statements, perhaps yours is the pie-hole in need of being shut.
You'd have to ask the framers. I'd assume that they never imagined that anyone would have the unmitigagted audacity and lack of character to actually present himself to the electorate without the requisite qualifications.
Moreover, the Constitutional qualifications relate to SERVING as President, not running for President. The courts would look at this and say that there has been no harm as yet, and you can't sue for an anticipated harm. The damage has to actually happen.
The actual election to the Presidency does not take place until the Electoral college meets in January 2009. And the President elect does not actually become President until he is sworn in.
What I''d like to see is Chief Justice Roberts refuse to swear in the a-wipe until and unless he provides proof of eligibility.
ping for later
Have you actually gone through this process? I have, and I know the law. It isn’t my job to school you. The law is there to be researched. Do your own.
And there is FAR more involved that a “notification”. That’s a laugher. You have to PROVE the child eligible, and that involves proving that you as a US citzen are actually qualified to pass on citizenship to a child with only one US citizen parent. Not all are, and Ann Dunham wasn’t.
Too bad for yourg Barack, it it turns out to be true that he was born in Kenya. It’s a brick wall.
