The Hawaiian birth certificate President Obama has produced—the document is formally known as a “certificate of live birth”—bears that information.

The troubling part of the COLB for me is the entry for "Race". It says African.

African is not and never was considered a race. Negro, Caucasian or Asian would have been used in 1961 on the "long form".

My conclusion is that Barry's "long form" entry under "Race" says Caucasian. The COLB is either forged (felony fraud) or -if legit- was altered at the time of issue by an in-house wonk who was influenced ($$$) to enter African (felony conspiracy to commit fraud).

No, I don’t believe you’re correct.

In 1800 a natural born citizen had 2 parents of the same nationality.

Clearing the Smoke on Obama’s Eligibility: An Intelligence Investigator’s June 10 Report

It is only by examining the 18th century usage and definition of a term that we can ascertain its meaning in the Constitution. In the 18th century, and at the time of the framing and ratification of the Constitution by the states, the term “natural-born” subject or citizen was always used or defined in such a way as to exclude the child of a British or American girl or woman when that child was born in a foreign country and that child’s father was a foreign citizen. No 18th century jurist would have thought the term “natural-born” citizen or subject could have been extended to the child of a British or American girl or woman when that child was born in a foreign country and that child’s father was a foreign citizen.

William Blackstone, Commentaries 1:354, 357–58, 361–62

1765

“Natural-born subjects are such as are born within the dominions of the crown of England, that is, within the ligeance, or as it is generally called, the allegiance of the king; and aliens, such as are born out of it.. . .

To encourage also foreign commerce, it was enacted by statute 25 Edw. III. st. 2. that all children born abroad, provided both their parents were at the time of the birth in allegiance to the king,…might inherit as if born in England:

If Obama was born outside the U.S. and one of his parents was over 18 and a U.S. citizen he would be a natural born citizen.

No. His mother was not old enough to confer citizenship.

Same link: In 1961 if a 17 year old American girl gave birth in a foreign country to a child whose father was not an American citizen, that child had no right to any American citizenship, let alone the “natural born” citizenship that qualifies someone for the Presidency under Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution.

“ 7 FAM 1133.2-2 Original Provisions and Amendments to Section 301

(CT:CON-204; 11-01-2007)

“a. Section 301 as Effective on December 24, 1952: When enacted in 1952, section 301 required a U.S. citizen married to an alien to have been physically present in the United States for ten years, including five after reaching the age of fourteen, to transmit citizenship to foreign-born children. The ten-year transmission requirement remained in effect from 12:01 a.m. EDT December 24, 1952, through midnight November 13, 1986, and still is applicable to persons born during that period.

She wanted her son to be an America so she could come back here with him.
She did not want him to stay in Kenya.
So she gets the announcement in the paper and says he was born there in HI to the authority and says it was Doc who delivered him but they did not know his name.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

This is the motivation for the BC follies right here. Being declared a US citizen was priceless in the early 60s, especially for a bastard born in Kenya.

Straw man arguments...the issue is not WHERE he was born, but to WHOM? Was the father a legal U.S. Citizen as required by the United States Constitution? Who was he?

Show the Birth Certificate, and end this now!! Unless you have spent millions hiding which fact, Obama?

“Do you believe the number of birthers is increasing or decreasing the longer this goes on?”

Increasing. That’s the idea. Do you know of a single birther who was formerly an Obama supporter?

I’m not saying he purposely made this information difficult to get with this strategy in mind the whole time, but after releasing his CoLB, maybe it occurred to them that they have nothing to lose by making his birth certificate difficult to get, and a lot to gain by making a large number of their opponents look like lunatics.

never said the granny said and the officer was in FL not GA, that is a line the left sheep use.
I said two members of his family said they saw him born there.
There is a [place which says bozo was born there in Kenya.

Forgetting everything even him fighting to not show it and yes he has.
Why doesn’t he show it?

Do you not find the visit to see granny AFTER her hospital visit strange, he loves her so much like he said why did he not go to her funeral or when she first went into hospital.
To date he has not even been to her grave.
He went the same time when the court in HI was looking at this issue.

No matter how many times the left tries to justify all of this I come up with mroe questions than answers.

Like I said I do not know but this is really simple even for a community trouble maker.

Show it and his past records.
No use sitting there lie the media does and saying yes we checked it , we looked at the paper on his website

If anything, the birther movement should work to ensure something like this doesn't happen again. But they're not.

I'd think that would be the job of the US Congress, and even the President, to clear up constitutional matters that aren't specifically spelled out, but which have caused confusion as this has on several occasions.

1) What’s the BC’s sequential, verifiable number?
2) Who was the verifiable Doctor who delivered him?

Where’s the DNC vetting and how much is it costing them & 0bama this time?

$12-15 bucks, this issue’s solved one way or another.

I forgot about that one provision of the law. Tilt at how many windmills you like. I’ve never met a FReeper who is engaging in this as a purely intellectual exercise.

ScottinVA:”There’s plenty else to contest him on and I think we need to choose our battles wisely.”

When you consider that lack of natural-born citizenship would disqualify Obama from the presidency, all those other issues become moot. Whether National Review likes it or not, this is a “magic bullet” of sorts since it is such an important part (constitutional requirement) of being President.

And we must ask ourselves why the framers of our constitution were so adamant about this issue - the loyalty of the President to our national interests. It seems pretty evident to me that Obama’s loyalties are not country first based on his actions so far - at least not THIS country...

Also detailed in the http://www.westernjournalism.com/?page_id=2697 article is a list of 4 different ways to obtain the document that Obamasists wave around.

Ignore facts such as he is not a natural born citizen as the Founding Fathers understood it because citizenship came through the father when the Constitution was written.

Prove it. A link to the relevant Federalist Papers or some other contemporaneous writing is best.

“Show us the Long Form Birth Certificate please, and we will slink away and shut up.”

I am beginning to think that is just what they don’t want to happen. They are using this to smear us and they want to keep it going which is why they don’t release it.
