The T-Word
It’s amazing just what this whole Barack Obama birth certificate mess has come down to.
Each member of the Electoral College, who is committed to casting a vote on December 15, 2008, has a constitutional duty to make certain you are a natural-born citizen. As of today, there is no evidence in the public record (nor have you provided any) that defeats the claim that you are barred by law from assuming the Office of President because you fail the Constitution’s eligibility requirements.
All state Electors are now on Notice that unless you provide documentary evidence before December 15, that conclusively establishes your eligibility, they cannot cast a vote for you without committing treason to the Constitution.
If this turns out to be a non-issue, then Republicans will have a lot of mud on their faces. But if true, Obama will have perpetuated a fraud of such monumental proportions that the only recourse the left will have is to propose a change to our Constitution, just to avoid admitting that they had been had by a phony.

I’ve been following this closely. There are just TOO many reasons why this whole Birth Certificate thing smells to high heaven. Amazing to me are the Court Judges that keep dismissing on grounds of lack of standing. Does this mean that an American Citizen cannot question the qualifications of the POTUS? Here are two links that I have been keeping up with.

Back when Clinton was re-elected, I was listening to G. Gordon Liddy on the radio. He had this way of saying “Suckers!” that is echoing in my head today.

“If this turns out to be a non-issue, then Republicans will have a lot of mud on their faces.”
I don’t think so. Berg is a democrat and he said several times “Produce the documents to prove me wrong and I will be satisfied.”
If Obama is a natural born citizen, he is being really annoying. But that’s nothing new.

I may end up with mud on my face, but better that than have our country in the hands of an impostor bent on flinging mud on our Constitution.

There are many, on the left, that know the truth … that Obama’s birth certificate clearly state that his name is “Mud.”
Which brings to mind the origin of that famous saying: “His name is Mud!”
The expression derives from Dr. Samuel Mudd, who unwisely took pity on Abraham Lincoln’s assassin, John Wilkes Booth. Mudd treated the broken ankle Booth suffered in his leap to the stage of Ford’s Theater; for his trouble, he was sentenced to life in a federal prison. And thus, the saying was born.
It appears that in Kenya, not the U.S.A., Obama was born … and if we ever do find out the truth, his is not the only name that will be …
Mudd!

Well, thankfully changing the Constitution isn’t that easy. Remember it would take 2/3rds of the states ratifying any change. Let’s see that get done by the 20th of January, 2020, let alone 2009

If this guy is a fraud, there are a lot of dems who should be hung out to dry.

The solution to the problem is so easy, Obama produce the certificate, but he refuses….there must be something under wraps…Anyone with a degree of common sense would try to solve this issue as quickly as possible.

The SCOTUS had better make him shed light on this. Should he be revealed to be a fraud then whichever justices turn a blind eye as the lower courts did should be proscuted with the rest of the criminals that forced this upon us. Fraud, conspiracy, and treason among the charges.

i hope for all our sakes it’s untrue B.O. deceived everyone, but something smells fishy, imo.
the Leo Donofrio case up for review on 12/05 with the SCOTUS, does not rest on where B.O. was born… fyi. copying from his blog:
“Don’t be distracted by the birth certificate and Indonesia issues. They are irrelevant to Senator Obama’s ineligibility to be President. Since Barack Obama’s father was a Citizen of Kenya and therefore subject to the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom at the time of Senator Obama’s birth, then Senator Obama was a British Citizen “at birth”, just like the Framers of the Constitution, and therefore, even if he were to produce an original birth certificate proving he were born on US soil, he still wouldn’t be eligible to be President.
The Framers of the Constitution, at the time of their birth, were also British Citizens and that’s why the Framers declared that, while they were Citizens of the United States, they themselves were not “natural born Citizens”. Hence their inclusion of the grandfather clause in Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution:
No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution shall be eligible to the Office of President;
That’s it right there. (Emphasis added.)
The Framers wanted to make themselves eligible to be President, but they didn’t want future generations to be Governed by a Commander In Chief who had split loyalty to another Country. The Framers were comfortable making an exception for themselves. They did, after all, create the Constitution. But they were not comfortable with the possibility of future generations of Presidents being born under the jurisdiction of Foreign Powers, especially Great Britain and its monarchy, who the Framers and Colonists fought so hard in the American Revolution to be free of.
The Framers declared themselves not eligible to be President as “natural born Citizens”, so they wrote the grandfather clause in for the limited exception of allowing themselves to be eligible to the Presidency in the early formative years of our infant nation.
But nobody alive today can claim eligibility to be President under the grandfather clause since nobody alive today was a citizen of the US at the time the Constitution was adopted.
The Framers distinguished between “natural born Citizens” and all other “Citizens”. And that’s why it’s important to note the 14th Amendment only confers the title of “Citizen”, not “natural born Citizen”. The Framers were Citizens, but they weren’t natural born Citizens. They put the stigma of not being natural born Citizens on themselves in the Constitution and they are the ones who wrote the Document.
Since the the Framers didn’t consider themselves to have been “natural born Citizens” due to their having been subject to British jurisdiction at their birth, then Senator Obama, having also been subject to British jurisdiction at the time of his birth, also cannot be considered a “natural born Citizen” of the United States.”
