U.S. Rep. Nathan Deal and "several colleagues" to ask Obama to release birth certificate

Congressmen ask for Obama's birth certificate - U.S. Rep. Nathan Deal and "several colleagues" to ask Obama to release birth certificate

U.S. Rep. Nathan Deal, now a Republican candidate for governor, this morning declared himself in sympathy with those questioning whether President Barack Obama was born in the U.S.A.

The occasion was an online chat the congressman had with supporters this morning. And the question came from Tom Crawford of Capitol Impact.

Do you believe that Barack Obama is a native-born American citizen who is eligible to serve as president? I am asking because your comments on this issue have been a little ambiguous. I would appreciate your clearing this up.

At 9:17 a.m., Deal tapped out this:

I am joining several of my colleagues in the House in writing a letter to the President asking that he release a copy of his birth certificate so we can have an answer to this question."

Why bother to write the letter in the first place then?

If they have the "balls" (so called) to even do this, which should have been done a LONG time ago...I doubt that they would be fine with a no answer. I further doubt that they would not leak that to the media. Rush has, at least, mentioned the subject a time or two. So has Savage (even more so). I would guess that once those in the media like them, got hold of a story like that, that they would simply bury it.

Well, I'm not THAT cynical.

To date, EVERYBODY in Congress has essentially dismissed the issue. To actually write a formal letter requesting the release, and then to get either a no response or a denial will definitely be political ammo that they would use, IMHO of course.

Be aware that whomever Tom Crawford is, he asked a question which could be a smokescreen. A “native born American Citizen” is not a sufficient to meet the constitutional requirement for the presidency. The president must be a ‘natural born citizen’ of the U.S., a term of art defined in many, and used in many more cases by the U.S. Supreme Court, using the definition repeated by Joseph Story, James Madison, Chief Justice John Marshall “born on the soil of parents who are its citizens.” The court has never accepted another definition, though many efforts to amend Article II Sect 1, Clause 5 have been initiated.

Because Obama's father was a British subject - owes his allegiance to the British government - so does his son. Obama admitted that he was born a British subject. Our legislators and courts failed us. The term has been so seldom used that few attorneys have a clear understanding of the requirement. But Obama used de Vattel's Law of Nations in a course he taught at U of Chicago. Every Senator signed Senate Res 511 in which the requirement for citizen parents clearly stated. The Constitution, as Obama said in 2001, "prevents me from doing some of the things I'd like to do." At the time he may have realized that his Marxist 5th column could not make him a president because he is not a nature born citizen. The have, thus far, overcome the 'limitation' imposed by the Constitution. Don't be fooled by a Hawaiian birth certificate. Born of the soil is not sufficient. Both of his parents need to have been U.S. citizens.

My guess is that the Usurper POS will either ignore the request, or release the forgery that has been floating around the internet for about a year.

I agree. There should be concrete rules and steps in place, at the state level (& least), to prove one is eligible to hold the office they seek (including, but not limited to POTUS).

However, getting legislation like that passed and enacted into law would probably take months...perhaps even years in conservative states.

Yes, that should ultimately be done.

In the mean time, what this congressman is (allegedly) doing is a good idea for the short term. So far as I can tell, it doesn't hurt that the request is put in writing by members of Congress. Haven't "we" all been told that only Congress can address this issue? Well, here we go. Looks like some of them will try.

Oh, believe me, when I say I'm no fan what-so-ever of ANY member of Congress.

"We've" all been "screaming" for Congress to do something on this issue. It appears, for once, they are. I, for one, will not discourage them in seeking the truth.

"To date, EVERYBODY in Congress has essentially dismissed the issue. To actually write a formal letter requesting the release, and then to get either a no response or a denial will definitely be political ammo that they would use, IMHO of course."

ALL of them have broken their oath of office from article Six...

"The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.”

They are COMMANDED to follow the instructions of section three in the Twentieth amendment:

”3. If, at the time fixed for the beginning of the term of the President, the President elect shall have died, the Vice President elect shall become President. If a President shall not have been chosen before the time fixed for the beginning of his term, or if the President elect shall have failed to qualify, then the Vice President elect shall act as President until a President shall have qualified; and the Congress may by law provide for the case wherein neither a President elect nor a Vice President elect shall have qualified, declaring who shall then act as President, or the manner in which one who is to act shall be selected, and such person shall act accordingly until a President or Vice President shall have qualified.

Congress, since it is responsible for naming a replacement President MUST be made aware that it needs to do so or not do so. Otherwise, how would it know whether or not to do so? They name a replacement if one of two things occur, the death of a President elect or the "failure to qualify" by a President elect. In order to establish whether or not a President elect has "qualified", Congress must see PROOF of qualifications. The burden of submitting this is squarely upon the President elect. Anyone serving in Congress has the legal standing to DEMAND to see this "proof" as they are required to do so in the Constitution. They don't need to "beg".

Not enforcing section three of the Twentieth amendment is equal to not supporting the Constitution. They are breaking their oath if they don't enforce it. Unfortunately, they all are guilty. That's why I recommend the states take this matter into their own hands by passing a "Usurper Protection Law".

asking that he release a copy of his birth certificate

Better specify "long form birth certificate" or all you will get is the COLB. Also ask for hospital records.

Totally agree. I didn't like how "Tom" addressed the question. Anchor baby's are considered "native-born."

If he somehow got the Congressman to commit to seeking the truth regarding (at least) the long form b.c., then prop's to him.

It could be passed in a week. It's constitutional and would stop a Usurpation dead in it's tracks. In addition, if the legislative bodies don't want to do it, there is always the ballot initiative approach. We The People can do things. Californians, you listening?

Yes. Good points. And, good reasons to contact his offices to let them know to be specific and, furthermore to let them know we support his sending such a letter.

"It could be passed in a week."

True indeed. Yet, 99.99% unrealistic, as you know. I wish that would be done, but that would be wishful thinking.

"there is always the ballot initiative approach"

True indeed again. But, again...that would take till November of 2010, or a special election would need to be held.

The resistance against doing something like this is very high. Congressman Deal shows amazing courage and leadership.

The Rinos led by McCain has this Congress under tight control to not dare ask about Obama’s NBC status. Now look whats happened since everyone has figured out the Rinos have no clothes.

They’re talking about the birth certificate out loud! There is a reason the Rinos don’t want to be known to know about Dear Leader. Treason in cahoots with their friends across the aisle won’t be fun for them.

stop asking all the wrong questions. Obama is a FRAUD, you know it, I know it, millions of others know it, the real question needs to be put by a MAJORITY of congresscritters and senators and folks, I mean, it needs to be made a HUGE DEAL of. Unless and Until it is, he will keep doing his kubooki dance and f@rting in America’s face. Completely unacceptable. This is so OBVIOUS it’s embarassing. Truth is, there is TOTAL corruption behind this. HE knows he’s a fraud, many others know he’s a FRAUD, the involved Judiciary so far, know he’s a fraud, and yet they continue to obsufucate!! WHY??????????? THAT, my American friends, IS the question. Force, and I mean real force, will be needed at this stage of the GAME. Not a game for the American people but certainly a profitably one for this paper tiger. CO
