"Legislator takes eligibility question to election officials 'I expect somebody to come up with answers; so far that hasn't happened'
September 15, 2009
New Hampshire State Rep. Laurence Rappaport, R-Colebrook, is tired of telling his constituents that he's not sure of Barack Obama's eligibility to serve as president.
So late last week, Rappaport says, he met with New Hampshire's secretary of state, William Gardner, who oversees the state's elections, to demand answers. Rappaport took with him a pair of allegedly genuine, Kenyan birth certificates that declare Obama was born in Africa, and not in the U.S., as has been widely reported.

"Regardless of where he was born, is he a natural born citizen as required by the Constitution? I don't know the answer to that," Rappaport said. "My understanding is that … a natural born citizen had to be someone with two American parents. If that's true, his father was a Kenyan and therefore a British subject at the time. Then there's the issue: If he was born out of the country, was his mother old enough at the time to confer citizenship?
"I expect somebody to come up with the legal answers to this," Rappaport told WND, "and so far that hasn't happened."
"There's been virtually nothing released regarding [Obama's] school records or his birth records, and the thing that bothers me is that I think as a citizen of the United States, we have the right to know that," Rappaport said. "So far I haven't gotten answers to any of those questions, and my constituents haven't either. We feel we need to know this."
Rappaport clarified that the Kenyan birth certificates he found online – one with a footprint, one without – aren't necessarily reliable, as they haven't been verified by experts, and Rappaport doesn't claim to be an expert. He said he merely presented them to Gardner because online images are all the proof he has of Obama's birth, whether in the U.S. or in Africa. ... "
