Congress report concedes Obama eligibility unvetted
WND ^ | NOVEMBER 8, 2010 | Jerome R. Corsi

Posted on 11/08/2010 7:22:43 PM PST by RobinMasters

A congressional document that has been posted on the Internet confirms no one – not Congress, not the states and not election officials – bothered to check Barack Obama's eligibility to be president, and in fact, that status remains undocumented to this day.

It's because state and federal law did not require anyone in Congress or elsewhere to check to see if Obama was a "natural born Citizen" under the meaning of Article 2, Section 1 of the Constitution, according the document.

The analysis by the Congressional Research Service, a research arm of the U.S. Congress, openly admits no one in the federal government, including Congress, ever asked to see Obama's long-form, hospital-generated birth certificate. In fact, it explains no one was required to do so.

Technically, the CRS is a public policy research arm of the United States Congress that is organized as a legislative branch agency within the Library of Congress; the CRS works exclusively for members of Congress, congressional committees and congressional staff in an advisory capacity, answering questions.

That's why we need a specific law that requires it in detail. The Founders just assumed that voters would enforce this when voting.

Ask the average voter if he can even define what a citizen is.

For those who know what American citizenship means, natural born citizenship is easy to define.

If either one of Obama's parents was not a US citizen, then Obama is not a Natural Born Citizen, no matter where he was born.

The drama surrounding the birth certificate is a red herring. It would, however, establish the identity of his parents in a way that would be admissable as evidence in a court of law. If the birth certificate names both parents, the issue would then become whether they were both US citizens at the time of his birth. Averring that one or both of the named parents were not in fact his parents would require strong proof; otherwise the court would be forced to assume the facts as specified by the birth certificate.

Obama and others have repeatedly claimed publicly that Obama's father never was a US citizen at any time. If true, then Obama is not a Natural Born Citizen and so is not and has never been POTUS.

And THIS is the reason Pelosi stays in...in case 0bama is relieved during the Lame Duck.

That is CLEVER! That is a fantastic point.

In other words:

If zerobama is relieved, then so would Biden. That would make Boehner acting POTUS, and then the House Minority Leader -- Pelosi -- would again become Speaker. Is that correct?

D’accord. That is, I agree.

Biden is still a freaking moron though.

Prove me wrong.

We know the early Presidents had no birth certificates. But todays presidents were born in an era of paperwork.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The natural born status of other presidents was utterly and completely self-evident! Armies of witnesses stood ready to testify of the candidate's legitimate natural born citizenship.

Yes...There was one exception, Arthur, a vice-president who became president through the death of the existing president. And...I believe he did serve out a partial term but was smart enough not to run for re-election.

Ah. The old "no controlling legal authority" dodge. More reasons to distrust the leadership and competence of both parties.

with everyone who have perpetrated this hoax on the American people?

Good question and I do not have a good answer. I have seen 3 different articles hinting at the same things expressed in the article I linked. It may be as suggested that the Dems actually realize how dangerously close they are to being destroyed as a party that they have the knives out after him to try and save the remains of the party. If accusations are true, I am not sure his removal will fix this.

Der Hilderbeast is conveniently out of country. She has the crew who can expose this if she likes. She knows all about it. Problem is, even some of the Pubbies (RINO's) knew from the beginning. Do they stand trial also? As far as I am concerned, one traitor is as bad as another. The only way to rationalize that problem is to assume the "Globalist" in both parties supported him. Treason is still a very serious charge.

I can only hope something comes of this, that this is blown wide open for all to see. I’ve prayed for this day since he was “elected.”

I love this line in the article: “Enough people are sniffing in the same garbage pile anyways...Though I suspect they are burying it at the moment, or trying to.” Which makes me think Conservatives are like dogs, we find garbage and we drag it out in to the light to see, the democrats are cats, they scrape things onto it to hide it.

I would say Pelosi is in serious trouble as her signature is on all the state eligibility forms certifying he is eligible to be president.

I have prayed with all my heart every day since the 2008 primaries. Please, God, fix this and save our nation. ( In Jesus name, let it be.)

Ah, I get it.

Sorry to be so harsh.

I just have no TV and no interest in such things and thought it odd to have that comment/link on this thread.

My apologies.

You trying to crack some sort of joke or something? What was the point of that non-sequitur post?

McCain’s citizenship was challenged in my district caucus during the primaries. McCain was born to parents of American citizenship, but in the Panama Canal Zone. The challenger was hooted down. As a body, our caucus gave McCain a “pass.”

But I think this is why McCain never pursued Obama’s status: his own citizenship credentials for the Presidency would have been made an issue, too.

RE :”Fundamentally, it is **IMPOSSIBLE** to right laws tight enough and explicit enough to corral the dishonest and corrupt. A Constitution the size of a New York phone book will never restrain evil. If this nation is to survive we will only do so if we are a people of good will who have a desire to make the system work fairly.

Sometime around late-Clinton-early-Bush this country started down the path of massive legal immigration, along with encouraging illegal immigration. I didnt notice it was bad until the housing bubble started inflating. You can forget common morals and Christianity as assumed heritage. That is all out the window now. it was sold out in the name of fueling a 'growing' economy with new immigrants. You got a massive influx of foreigners and liberals controlling much of the MSM. In this case it means absolutely no chance of elected Republicans talking about this, they want to get elected,

Correct. If Barrack H. Obama, Sr. is his father he is NOT a Natural Born Citizen. The only way he could be a natural born citizen is if someone else was his father (some suggest Frank Marshall Davis). But I doubt that is the case. Hence, he is inelligible to be POTUS.....
