New Hampshire lawmakers question Obama’s citizenship
Washington Times ^ | 1/9/12 | Dave Boyer

CONCORD, N.H. | President Obama is on the Democratic ballot for New Hampshire’s primary on Tuesday, despite the efforts of some Republican state legislators who argue the president doesn’t qualify as a “natural-born citizen.” “I don’t know where he was born, and I really don’t care,” said state Rep. Larry Rappaport of Colebrook, N.H., “but I think fraud is being perpetrated on the citizens of New Hampshire.” Mr. Rappaport and several GOP colleagues have been trying to get the New Hampshire secretary of state to remove Mr. Obama from the ballot. Their argument isn’t focused

“On the one hand, it’s hard to take it seriously,” Mr. Buckley said. “But they ought to be focusing on jobs and the economy and the things real Americans care about.”

Yeah, "real Americans" can't walk and chew gum can they, Mr. Buckley....you jerk.

The whole place of birth question and the questions around the document supplied by the WH are just red herrings used to confuse ignorant people and ridicule opponents. The only question that matters is whether or not zero is NBC and based on his own version of the (phony) BC, he is not because his father was not a citizen.

Because no one is able to produce his actual birth certificate, nor any passport applications for this clown, shouldn’t the issue be that his father is a confirmed foreigner and therefore, that means he’s not a natural born citizen? I think the birth place is an unprovable distraction and we should nail him on the obvious unconstitutionality of his heritage.

Comments from Danae from:

"Minor v. Happersett is LAW. It has never been overturned - the case was decided unanimously. This law states simply that a Natural Born Citizen is one born in the country with two parents who are it's citizens. This LAW means that Obama is a criminal usurper.

He should be dealt with as such, along with his SCOTUS appointees (who are DESPERATE I am sure to bury this and keep their lifetime seats on the court - yes, they should be tossed out as well), his treaties, and his abomination of laws passed along with all the department heads he appointed.

Make no mistake, this is a constitutional crisis. I have been saying this since before the cretin was elected and sworn in. It will only get worse,and be done unto us again if we do not demand that the law be OBEYED."

“I don’t know where he was born, and I really don’t care,” said state Rep. Larry Rappaport of Colebrook, N.H., “

This bozo, whether he is an R or a D, should care deeply!

The excerpted article doesn't help with reading comprehension.

From the source:

"Their argument isn’t focused on the old question of the president’s birthplace, but on a clause in the U.S. Constitution that requires a candidate to be a “natural-born citizen.”

I think it's fair to say that he cares about the eligibility issue, just not on the basis of the BC. The real issue, and it's not contested, is that BO's father was African. That means, that under certain interpretations of the law, that BO is not an NBC.

This also opens up the whole issue of some surgical editing that took place at justia.com of a certain case (Minor v. Happersett) that deals specifically with the NBC definition.

From: 4 Supreme Court Cases define "natural born citizen"

Conclusion: "Finally it should be noted, that to define a term is to indicate the category or class of things which it signifies. In this sense, the Supreme Court of the United States has never applied the term “natural born citizen” to any other category than “those born in the country of parents who are citizens thereof”.

Hence every U.S. Citizen must accept this definition or categorical designation, and fulfil his constitutional duties accordingly. No member of Congress, no judge of the Federal Judiciary, no elected or appointed official in Federal or State government has the right to use any other definition; and if he does, he is acting unlawfully, because unconstitutionally."

Can we all have some standing please so we can go to SCOTUS?

Well, we can rule out his being an AMERICAN CITIZEN.

I seem to remember the same EXACT words being spoken to us ‘crazy birthers’ back in 2007/2008. “We just need to focus on defeating on the THE ISSUES!!!!!”

Yeah, how’s that working out for ya... to quote from Mrs. Palin...

Mr. Rappaport and his colleagues filed an affidavit last week with the state attorney general to argue that the state isn’t applying election law consistently. But the attorney general’s office said it doesn’t intend to take any action.
Oh, I'm pretty sure that he'll have a change of heart when he finds out that he's fixing to be on the hot seat.
Dumb move.

Nice stuff. I haven’t seen the last two inaccuracies (nice way of saying flat out lying forgeries) before. Very interesting.

Good effort, but Obama is not going anywhere. Either we defeat him this year in a fair election, or we suffer another four years of this crap followed by President Michelle or something.

You are assuming the election will be fair...

Even the Russians took to the streets when the election was stolen, scaring the crap out of their KGB establishment, and Obama is no Putin that’s for sure. He wouldn’t dare, and if he did it would end badly for him.

Last I checked Putin hasn’t gone anywhere. And Obama was just given the legal right by Congress to detain any American citizen indefinetly that he deems a threat.

They are U.S. citizens.

Natural-born citizen is not a type of citizenship. It is only an eligibility requirement for the U.S. Presidency.

If you are adopted by U.S. citizens, and your BC says you were born in the U.S., I suspect there would be no problem with your becoming President.

However, if you were born in China and adopted by U.S. citizens, there might arise the situation where you could be blackmailed by the Chinese government, who could claim they would kill your biological relatives if you didn't comply with their demands.

I saw colleagues in the Navy denied security clearances because they had relatives in nations that practiced such things.
