I haven’t seen a birth certificate for Obuma.

The coverup continues.

Obama’s Hawaiian birth certificate doesn’t say that he was born in Hawaii. It cannot, because there was no doctor’s or midwife’s certificate submitted. Neither of the hospitals in Honolulu has record of his birth, nor of his mother havin been checked in for child birth.

His grandmother swears that he was born in Mombasa; why would she lie?

The doubt is gone, now that the court has closed ranks with the Democrat establishment that appointed the judge. Ruling that the voters lack standing to mount a constitutional challenge is an admission that the case has merit.

If voters lacked that standing, the thousands of environmental suits that have crippled this nation would have been thrown out of court. If voters lacked standing, who could possess it? All that hold office are placed there by the voters.

He has two birth certificates. One is from Argentina, the other from the Department of State.
My wife and I took our son, the local birth certificate, and our American passports to the American Embassy. The Consul issued my son a US consular document entitled “Report of United States Citizen Born Abroad.” He also issued my son his very own US passport. The passport lists “place of birth” as “Argentina.” However he did not have to be “naturalized.” He was a natural born citizen at birth. Thus the immediate , no-wait issuance of the passport. The passport itself is considered proof of citizenship.

-- Apparently, congress-critters don't have to show a valid birth certificate to get a passport. --

I don't have any reason to doubt that, and assuming it's true, it's because being a citizen is a requirement for holding a national office.

But being a citizen is not enough of a qualification to assume the office of president of the United States. The constitution imposes a requirement that the office-holder be a natural born citizen.

Silva is an idiot writing for other idiots.

I prefer to think Silva is an idiot writing for anti-American subversives.

Or as it was said in the 1959s, "useful idiots".

Then let’s see Nobama’s passport. That would work.

Are all countries the same when the parents are American citizens? Can you son claim dual citizenship? I had a friend who was born in Nassau. His father was American and his mother Bahamian and he had dual citizenship up until he turned 21 and at that time he was supposed to choose which he wanted.

Sorry Chicago, but the only person to claim they witnessed Obama's birth was his Kenyan paternal grandmother (NOT his step grandmother, who is still alive) and she said he was born in Kenya.

Do your job, give me a witness, and maybe I'll go away. (After I check YOUR credentials.)
