   I think Obama would love to punt this to the SCOTUS. The bill’s unpopular, but Dems and the WH have come too far to back down. So enact it in a way that guarantees the SCOTUS will strike it down and voila! Dems claim credit for trying while getting to paint the SCOTUS as overreaching conservative zealots who subvert the will of the people and trounce all over separation of powers. Dems would claim to be the victims of a constitutional crisis that they themselves actually created.

   And don’t forget they still have a lot of people convinced that the 2000 election was stolen by the SCOTUS. We’d hear about this for at least the 2010 and 2012 elections, maybe further.

   That “question” has NO bearing on Obama’s citizenship.
   Uh yesh it does. If he claimed to be an Indonesian citizen – after the age of 18 – in order to get preferential entry to any of his colleges, or for scholarships – then what?

   Uh, no it wouldn’t. Unless he formally
   gave up his US citizenship, he is a US citizen. Whether he “cheated” by claiming Indonesian citizenship (and thus hiding his US citizenship to game the system) is an entirely different issue, and I agree that IF HE DID, it would be politically disastrous for him. But unless anyone has evidence of that it’s the sheerest speculation. And as I keep saying, with the courts and statutes on my side, “dual citizenship” is no bar to being “natural-born”, as long as he was born in the US. .

   But tell you what: if anyone comes up with a form showing he claimd to be Indonesian to gain some advantage, I will be chortling with glee!!!

    I checked again.

    You cited Wong Kim Ark, which took the position OPPOSITE yours, and cited the 14th Amendment, which does NOT define natural born citizen.

    So the courts and statute are not on your side. Not even Wong Kim Ark.

    Why does the uncertainty level over Obama’s Constitutional eligibility to be president not reach the level of an independent investigation being demanded? Even the discussions on this website reveal that it is anything but clear what the requirements even are, but there are requirements. Ohama/Barry’s history, (that we know of), leaves many unanswered questions…as does his refusal to release anything that would clear up the uncertainty.

    I find it infuriating that the media treats Obama’s ineligiblity as either a “done deal” or something that does not matter. They mock and laugh at the people who demand answers, while carefully never having any real discussion of the issue. OK, Lou Dobbs very carefully approached the subject……and got fired for doing so.

    Asking Obama to show his real, long-form birth certificate and the long list of other hidden records, most of which also pertain in one way or the other to his citizenship, is something all Americans should be doing.

    You got that 100% correct, thanks for your reply and noticing my frustration.

    The opposition ignores the one thing that could stop Obama and his enablers in their tracks and set the progressive movement back at least 50 years.

    Instead they are calling their deaf and dumb, bought and paid for Congressional “representatives” and begging them to vote their way…and being ignorded.

    Deedledee, my thinking is if the maneuver is used that it, in and of itself, could be the basis of a Supreme Court challenge made post haste by lawmakers themselves. The persons it immediately impacted adversely, in violating the Constitution, would be members of Congress themselves.

    At least, that’s my figurin’. We’ll need to hear from not just generic legal eagles but ones who specialize in the area of Constitutional law.

    Going to be hard to get proof, but all the evidence hasn’t been eliminated…yet.

    The question I keep asking is how in the heck can there not be way more than enough doubts about Obama’s eligibility to demand an independent investigation? Absolutely nothing about his past is clear-cut, and even Conservatives keep bashing other Conservatives for demanding proof of Obama’s eligibility……as I ask before, does Alinsky work so well that Obama’s opposition turns on themselves about an issue that all Americans should be demanding a clear answer on?

    It’s only the U.S.Constitution.

    Kenyan born?

    I have seen many other reference from various news sources fromm 2004 to 2008 referring to Obama as, “Kenyan born”.

    March 15, 2010
    THESE are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated. Britainthe Democrat Party, with an army to enforce her tyranny, has declared that she has a right (not only to TAX) but “to BIND us in ALL CASES WHATSOEVER” and if being bound in that manner, is not slavery, then is there not such a thing as slavery upon earth. Even the expression is impious; for so unlimited a power can belong only to God.

By keeping documents hidden and/or destroyed it places our CIC in the horrendous position of being blackmailed, which in turn is a security issue for the country. If anyone can obtain copies of those documents it would be China, Russia, and Iran. I don’t know if the rumors are true but I know I’m not safe because he fails to produce them.

    Thanks for the reply….and I think some of the blackmailing may be going on now.

    Another hope is that about eight states…so far, have introduced bills saying any candidate on their ballot must provide proof they are eligible for the position they are running for.

    If just one state passes such a bill, Obama won’t run in 2012…not because he couldn’t possibly win without that one state, but because of the national discussion that would finally actually happen.

    Glad you and a few others have replied to my post. I begin to think it was “ignore the crazy guy who wants to see proof of Obama’s eligibilty” time.

    We can’t get anybody in the media to talk about an issue directly involving the U.S. Constitution, that is way above the threshold for needing an investigation.

    Isn’t it weird, to say the least?

    It’s not weird.

    It’s par for the course.

    These people would scrap the Constitution and replace it with something far less appropriate to a free people if they could.

    Luckily, America hasn’t degenerated to that point. Thank God for that.

    Samuel Adams concerning man’s socialistic pursuit of utopianism:

    “The Utopian schemes of levelling, and a community of goods, are as visionary and impracticable, as those which vest all property in the Crown, are arbitrary, despotic, and in our government unconstitutional. Now what property can the colonists be conceived to have, if their money may be granted away by others, without their consent?”

    The same quote with modern interpretation:

    “The Utopian schemes of leveling (re-distribution of the wealth) and a community of goods (government controlled/central ownership of the means of production and distribution), are as visionary and impractical as those which vest all property in the Crown. [These ideas] are arbitrary (choices and actions which are done not by means of any underlying principle or logic), despotic (ruling with absolute political power), and, in our government, unconstitutional.”

    In the interest of full disclosure, the quote you gave references the constitution under which the colonies were functioning at the time (1768), which was NOT the US Constitution that is the supreme law of the land here today.

    However, the principle(s) referenced are relevant in that they were incorporated into our own Constitution, so there’s no inconsistency in your bringing it up.

    Last Friday, while speaking from the House Floor on C-SPAN, Congresswoman Virginia Foxx (one of four Republicans vs. nine Democrats on the Rules Committee) said that she had requested that the Rules Committee proceedings be televised on C-SPAN.

    The Democratic leadership refused.

    This should be our next focal point.

    Challenge the self-proclaimed “Open, transparent, and accountable” Democrats to actually be “Open, transparent, and accountable” and let the people see what transpires in the Rules Committee.

    If just one state passes such a bill, Obama won’t run in 2012…not because he couldn’t possibly win without that one state, but because of the national discussion that would finally actually happen.

    Don’t believe that. Only one state required a sworn statement that the candidate was constitutionally eligible, and Pelosi just signed the document anyway – that state was none other than HAWAII.

    If any state passes the legislation being considered now to require proof of eligibility, I don’t think a Pelosi signed document saying “Yep, He’s OK” is the proof they will be asking for.

    If the legislation passes in even one state it will create a big probem for the usurper.
