He’s right.

You don’t have to prove sh!t.

Osama Bin Laden can run for president.

Hell he probably already is president.

Huckabee is correct, and I'm quite sure the president is not required to take a drug test either.

Imagine that...

Sovereign Soul · 1 day ago
Born a Brit = NOT legit ! EVERY member of the 111th Congress KNEW THAT and all should be impeached for deriliction of duty, election fraud, etc, ad infinitum!!!

Sovereign Soul has it exactly right, but there’s more. Senators of the 110th Congress, both R and D, passed S.R.511 which deemed John McCain a natural born citizen. It was a lie and they knew it. Because they lied about McCain, when Obama overtook Hillary in June ‘08, no one dared out Obama for fear of being exposed in the McCain lie. The certification of the electoral college vote, by Congress, prior to the inauguration, needed a Senator in order to post a dissent. Nothing happened that day because Senators (and I suspect the House by this time) knew they were accessories to the crime of allowing an usurper to become President.

Those posts caught my eye at the above link. Did they lie about McCain?

Calling Mike Huckabee childish names won’t change the fact that he’s correct. You don’t have to show your birth certificate and prove citizenship to fill out papers to run for President. He should know, since he’s actually run for President, something that probably can’t be said by anyone who’s on this board attacking him. He didn’t say it was a good thing, or that he agreed with it personally, he just stated a fact. If you don’t like, it, then take your Ritalin and get to work changing the election laws.

Huckabee is exactly right. There is nothing (that I know of) to keep the Republicans from running a German and the Democrats from running a Swede. However, neither one could be elected by the Electoral College: that's where the issue of citizenship reaches 'ripeness'.

The Constitution includes no mechanism for determining the citizenship status of a candidate for a very simple reason.

The original Constitution did not have the people voting for President at all. They instead voted for members of the Electoral College which would then elect the president. The EC would be a small elite group that would be quite capable of determining qualifications for itself. The Convention did not want to tie the hands of the EC by providing rules for its operation that would be unnecessary in any case.

The EC never once really functioned as intended. Everybody knew Washington would be elected by acclamation, which he was, twice.

By the time of the 3rd election candidates for EC were running while openly pledging themselves to vote for a particular candidate, which eliminates most of the rationale for having an EC.

It’s obvious there is no set, legally mandated procedure, including a standard, challenge, appeal and remedy process, for proving eligibility.

That is the problem here and one which must be fixed.

Right now, apparently, the eligibility of a candidate is left to party hacks on a “trust me, I’m Nancy Pelosi” basis. Thereafter, unless some huge political groundswell occurs, which may or may not be founded, there is apparently no way to review the decision of the party hack, much less hold it to a clearly articulated legal standard, challenge it, or remedy it.

This is why, even if one believes Obama is eligible to be POTUS, that so-called birther laws are a step in the right direction.

As time goes on, the number of people with unclear family and national backgrounds will increase. There’s no reason not to clear this up now, to save the nation from going through this crappola again and again in the future.

If the law is challenged, so much the better. Get a judicial read on it, everybody figure out exactly what the process is going to be, carry on.

Wow, Huckabee sure has put on weight since 2008...I mean a lot. I haven’t seen a pic of him in a very long time.

I vaguely recall reading he already decided against a run. Between the weight gain and the new big house in Florida, I think its obvious he won’t be running.

I also think many of those who supported Huckabee in polls will swing to Palin (even though I think they are very different) due to social issues.

As for his birth cert, etc., I don’t think they will ever take this seriously. He probably was born in Hawaii...but is hiding his birth cert for some other reason (e.g. “father unknown” or religion “muslim” or something like that.).

Whether he was born in the US or not, we should see the birth certificate because presidents should be an open book. The media will sure make sure any republican is wide open, why not communists/demonrats?

Anybody with a security clearance knows you can hide nothing. The president only gets vetted by the people, so the people need to see everything. That is just part of the deal to become the most powerful person in the world.

I watched Geraldo's interview with Trump and Huckabee last night, Sat. March 26, 2011.

There were many things about the interviews that fascinated me and got me thinking more and more about this Obama birth certificate mess.

For instance, Gov. Huckabee told Geraldo that a presidential candidate has to fill out all kinds of detailed financial disclosure forms.

1. I started thinking out loud: Wait a minute, on the one hand, presidential candidates are required by law to disclose their most intimate financial resources---for a person like rich businessman Trump, filling out such a form would be very long and tedious, and maybe even embarrassing---while, on the other hand, when somebody brings up the subject that a presidential candidate should attach a copy of his long form birth certificate to his application form, a lot of people, like Whoopi Goldberg, go crazy and demand why a presidential candidate should have to present a long form birth certificate to prove that the candidate was born in the United States and is the right age to be president.

2. To me, having a presidential candidate disclose detail information about his financial resources would seem to be much more work and more emotionally draining than attaching a long form birth certificate to one's presidential application form for the world to see.

3. My point is this: Why, on the one hand, do people go crazy when a presidential candidate is asked to provide his long form birth certificate so the public can be reassured that he is who he says he is and that he was born in the United States, while, on the other hand, nobody seems to complain that a presidential candidate has to provide detail records about his financial resources, especially when many presidential candidates are millionaires and they may have made their riches through questionable means.

4. Again, what is so sacred about a person's long form birth certificate that it has suddenly become taboo to bring up the subject of a presidential candidate's long form birth certificate?

5. Many of us routinely provided our long form birth certificates when asked from out days in Little League as a child to the times that we applied for jobs as an adult.

6. So what is so sacred about a presidential candidate's birth certificate---as opposed to the birth certificates' that belong to the rest of us---that people like Whoopi Goldberg go crazy when the topic of presidential candidates' long form birth certificates are brought up, while, at the same time, these same people say nothing about requiring presidential candidates to disclose their most intimate financial resources?

7. Yes. Will someone please explain to me why the topic of presidential birth certificates is so sacred that many people consider it such a grievous sin to require a presidential candidate to attach a copy of his long form birth certificate to his application form so that the public can be reassured that the candidate is who he says he is and that he was born in the United States where and when he says he was?

Huckabee flippantly replies: No, you actually don't

Flippant or not, that is true. Unfortunately.
