Trump fails to produce birth certificate

The aforesaid takes us back to 20 January 2009 in front of the Capital. On that podium where five men, four of whom are disqualified. Say hello to President Cheney.

Not so. Per the Constitution, the Speaker of the House would become president.

...ditto on your work too!

Well, thanks. I've snared a few in my time, but never with that level of pizzazz. That was some mighty fine freepin'.

I was commenting on Trump’s Mom, not Obama’s alleged father.

No, he didn't. Unlike Trump, Zero showed a government document. Birthers say it was forged, but, if so, why hasn't Hawaii called him on it?

He did or claimed no such thing. A 3rd party website put out a document and claimed they got it from the Obama campaign. As far as I know Obama has never confirmed or denied that this is actually his COLB.

Rope-a-dope is boxing slang for a tactic whereby a boxer rests against the ropes shielding himself with his arms and goading his opponent to throw tiring and ineffective punches at him.

Sounds like it.

I am loving every minute of it!!

Bingo....my dad (RIP)was an expect in calligraphy. I used to watch him do the hospital certificates for all the newborns. It is essentially a souvenir certificate. It it not a legal or government document. A real birth certificate (form) is signed by the attending physician and remitted to the County Government for filing. The only seal on the official birth certificate will be the that of the County of record (not a hospital although the place of birth will be noted on the form).

Woohoo!, that be a mighty fine zapper!

I hope this is all about MSM hypocrisy to bring the whole story into the light.

Until lawyers, bureaucrats and publicists got involved, a certificate signed by the attending physician or midwife stating the date, place, time, description of the baby, information about mother & father, etc. WAS a BIRTH CERTIFICATE!

This Birth Certificate was then REGISTERED or RECORDED at the county courthouse. The county clerk did not witness or take part in the birth. The attending physician or midwife (or taxicab driver :-) ) did!

Obama has released a paper that says that the clerk at the records department was notified. That’s all.

See the precise detail required for this Georgia application for a Birth Certificate following a birth at home or a birthing center.

Do we have this detail for Obama?

Mr. Panthermom must be something special!

Kidding aside, me too.

I’m loving Trump these past few weeks. He has the left in a complete meltdown.

Ah...beg your pardon, then. It wasn't clear in your post whose mother you were referring to.

Apparently, Trump's mother was a naturalized American citizen on the day he was born. He's NBC.

The ticket being invalidated takes us back to 20 January 2009. On that date only VP Cheney can be sworn in. There is no consideration for a speaker of the house.

Using your supposition which speaker, pelosi or Boehner.

It's beginning to look like the Trump card beats the race card.

Where in the Constitution do you see any mechanism for "going back", as you say? It's not there. Not only that, Cheney's term of office was officially over. He couldn't have possibly qualified to become president, under that circumstance.

Per Article II Section 1 Clause Six of the Constitution, Biden would not be eligible to take over as president. If Bozo goes, so does Biden.

Clause Six also says that the Congress may "...decl[are] what officer shall then act as President..."

There's a line of succession somewhere in the Constitution. One of us will have to find it. In the meantime, read Article II Section 1 Clause Six.

Donald Trump made headlines earlier today when he provided what he said was a copy of his birth certificate -- but a quick check reveals it's actually not an official document.

Yeah, that's the same problem 0bungler has. Where is the long form BC?

[Windflier]

Well, ain't that slick. Plausible deniability....puke!

[Windflier]

As to Obama never personally having claimed the alleged COLB as his own — his spokeshole, Gibbs claimed it was his, on several occasions in front of the press.

Man, I hate splitting hairs, don’t you?

[callisto]

Should I post more, troll?

Oh, please! And pass the popcorn too!
