That is exactly why Huckabee won’t be the next Republican candidate for President.
Submit Evidence of U.S. Citizenship
When applying for a U.S. passport in person, evidence of U.S. citizenship must be submitted with Form DS-11. All documentation submitted as citizenship evidence will be returned to you. These documents will be delivered with your newly issued U.S. passport or in a separate mailing.
Primary Evidence of U.S. Citizenship (One of the following):
Previously issued, undamaged U.S. Passport
Certified birth certificate issued by the city, county or state*
Consular Report of Birth Abroad or Certification of Birth
Naturalization Certificate
Certificate of Citizenship
*A certified birth certificate has a registrar’s raised, embossed, impressed or multicolored seal, registrar’s signature, and the date the certificate was filed with the registrar’s office, which must be within 1 year of your birth. Please note, some short (abstract) versions of birth certificates may not be acceptable for passport purposes.
NOTE: If you do not have primary evidence of U.S. citizenship or your U.S. birth certificate does not meet the requirements, please see Secondary Evidence of U.S. Citizenship.
Secondary Evidence of U.S. Citizenship
PrintEmail
If you cannot present primary evidence of U.S. citizenship, you must submit secondary evidence of U.S. citizenship. Determine what form of secondary evidence is most appropriate for your situation based on the descriptions below.
Early Public Records
If you were born in the United States and cannot present primary evidence of U.S. citizenship, submit a combination of early public records as evidence of your U.S. citizenship. Early public records must be submitted with a birth record or Letter of No Record. Early public records should show your name, date of birth, place of birth, and preferably be created within the first five years of your life. Examples of early public records are:
Baptismal certificate
Hospital birth certificate
Census record
Early school record
Family bible record
Doctor’s record of post-natal care
Early Public Records are not acceptable when presented alone.
Delayed Birth Certificate
If you were born in the United States and cannot present primary evidence of U.S. citizenship because your U.S. Birth Certificate was not filed within the first year of your birth, you may submit a Delayed U.S. Birth Certificate. A Delayed U.S. Birth Certificate filed more than one year after your birth may be acceptable if:
It lists the documentation used to create it (preferably early public records) and
It is signed by the birth attendant or lists an affidavit signed by the parents
If your Delayed U.S. Birth Certificate does not include these items, it should be submitted together with Early Public Records.
Letter of No Record
If you were born in the United States and cannot present primary evidence of U.S. citizenship because you do not have a previous U.S. passport or a certified U.S. birth certificate of any kind, you must present a state-issued Letter of No Record showing:
Your name
Your date of birth
The years for which a birth record was searched
Acknowledgement that no birth certificate was found on file
A Letter of No Record must be submitted together with Early Public Records.
Form DS-10: Birth Affidavit
If you were born in the United States and cannot present primary evidence of U.S. citizenship, you may submit Form DS-10: Birth Affidavit as evidence of your U.S. citizenship. The birth affidavit:
Must be notarized
Must be submitted in person with Form DS-11
Must be submitted together with early public records
Must be completed by an affiant who has personal knowledge of birth in the U.S.
Must state briefly how the affiant’s knowledge was acquired
Should be completed by an older blood relative
NOTE: If no older blood relative is available, it may be completed by the attending physician or any other person who has personal knowledge of your birth
Foreign Birth Documents + Parent(s) Citizenship Evidence
If you claim citizenship through birth abroad to U.S. citizen parent(s), but cannot submit a Consular Report of Birth Abroad or Certification of Birth, you must submit all of the following:
Your foreign birth certificate (translated to English)
Evidence of citizenship of your U.S. citizen parent
Your parents’ marriage certificate
An statement of your U.S. citizen parent detailing all periods and places of residence or physical presence in the United States and abroad before your birth

HUCK is an A$$.
Is Mike Huckabee trying to hide something? :)
A swipe????
Somebody needs to “swipe” the huckaster upside the head with a common sense stick.
“Mike Huckabee told a radio host today there is no need for legislation to make future presidential candidates prove their birthplace to determine eligibility for office, fearing such a bill would be seen as ‘a swipe’ at Barack Obama.”
Let these foolish pubbies insist on being deferential to Hussein like that and they are going to find themselves dealing with a third party candidate who isn’t afraid to call a spade a spade.
Huckabee might be a very nice guy but he is just plain stupid. He has no understanding of the Constitution. None.
What we have no need of is another Huckabee candidacy.
Of course. Let’s ignore Constitutional requirements to avoid at all costs a “swipe” at the halfrican. What’s more important here? Constitutional requirements? Or avoiding offending the most thin skinned “president” ever?
And we have to set precedent for all future president’s because this Chicago hoodlum got away with it? Puh-leeze.
I don’t know, but there are a lot of stupid Republicans out there who just aren’t thinking straight anymore.
The idea that a constitutional eligibility requirement for a political office shouldn’t matter any longer horrifies me. I don’t give one wit whether Obama is insulted or not over the issue.
That Huckabee talks about it in this fashion says volumes about his lack of gravitas for the Presidency.
>> I don’t know, but there are a lot of stupid Republicans
Mike’s a good guy, but a total disaster for the Conservative cause should he include himself in the 2012 elections for the reasons you cited.
“The news media is going to delve into everything imaginable.”
This guy is so out of touch with reality, I’m surprised
he knows how to eat. There is absolutely no reason to
acknowledge his existence much less vote for this worthless
blob of flesh.
nice opinion. doesn’t mean squat.
the Constitution does not allow for it to be ignored when convenient. this is the very foundation of our country. the basis of all laws. and on this point, it is very clear. a checking of the natural born citizenship status must be done as the office requires it. the only job in the entire country whose basic qualifications are enumerated in the very foundations of this nation.
those that ridicule the adherence to the Constitution are agents for its demise
Obama could just submit his current passport from that list.
“The News Media is going to delve into everything imaginable” Yeah, like his school records, his passport, his original birth certificate etc. etc. Just what have they delved into?
The Huckster is such a rube.
Howdy doodie should be his name.
Huckabee. No need for you.
This is probably a silly question, but isn’t it still a Federal law that in order to be hired by an employer in this country the employee must have a I-9 form on file in the employer’s office?
POTUS is a job, or at least we pay salary and benefits to someone to fill that position. Is there no I-9 requirement for “hiring” elected officials? If not why?
I have, literally, half a warehouse full of I-9’s from employees spanning the last decade or so. The people who filled out those forms had to provide documentation proving their citizenship and thereby their qualification for me to hire them. Not so for POTUS? I wonder why?
Well, I said right off it was a silly question.
To get his original U.S. passport, what documents were submitted to the DOS for proof of citizenship?
Hey Hugabug, shut up and smell the reality.
