It is not we “birthers” who have to prove anything right now.

Well, unless you do, no one is going to take any action to remove Obama. It wasn't until I began reading these threads that it dawned on me that, even if a court were to provide you with a courtroom, you have no evidence to support your claim. I kept thinking that there must be at least one pretty good witness who is prepared to testify that Obama wasn't born in the United States, but I've learned recently that there isn't anything stronger than Donald Trump's speculations about what he wishes to be true. How can you sensibly demand a trial without preparing any evidence to support your cause?

The voters have no way of knowing where the guy was born.

What is new about that? Neither you nor I know where any of our prior presidents were born. We just know what we read.

Lots of our presidents had no birth certificate of any kind. Doesn't your claim that Obama's birth certificate is insufficient falsely imply that the Constitution requires some kind of birth certificate? It doesn't. So, the fact that you don't like the looks of the one that the state of Hawaii has provided does not constitute any kind of evidence that Obama was born outside of the United States.

Twice, the voters and their electors had implicitly decided that Obama is qualified to be president. If you don't have any evidence that he was born outside of the United States, you don't really want a trial because, if you somehow get one, you will be slaughtered and embarrassed.

I'm not very trusting, perhaps you are. Either way, many things in life require proof up front, but you say not the president's citizenship? Popularity is proof enough for the president's eligibility is what you seem to be saying.

Yet the world we live in demands more.

I know and can verify the chain of ownership with a notarized document to where the septic tank is buried going back to the beginning and you can't even verify obama's claims to American citizenship beyond whatever is mother could convey to him.

Not only that, obama himself claimed to be Kenyan, so who should we believe?

Remember, this is the guy who commands the military and sends us and our children to fight and die, speaks for us all around the world and signs the treaties and the laws that govern us.

Whether you like or trust him or not, wouldn't it be nice if everyone could see his paperwork?

What's he hiding?

You can't tell me or anyone else with legal certainty who he is or what his actual nationality might really be.

And...you...are okay with that?
