Passing time has shown/demonstrated that the Courts and Congress have not given squat to Obama’s eligibility to any other past court decisions. I wonder why.
I think its because they believe that he was born at 7:24 pm on Friday, August 4, 1961 at Kapiolani Maternity and Gynecological Hospital in Honolulu, Hawaii. Birth announcements appeared in the August 13 & August 14, 1961 Honolulu newspapers and his father acknowledged paternity and birth location in an August 31, 1961 interview with the Immigration and Naturalization Service concerning his student visa extension.
In 2009, the House of Representatives passed House Resolution 593 of the 111th Congress acknowledging Obama’s birth in Hawaii as a part of Hawaii’s 50th Anniversary of Statehood. The vote on House Res. 593 was 378-0.
As John Boehner succinctly put it: “The state of Hawaii has said that he was born there, that’s good enough for me.”
The courts haven’t acted in part because this is an eligibility challenge and none of the four people with standing to challenge his eligibility because they were denied the office, have ever filed suit: John McCain, Sarah Palin, Mitt Romney or Paul Ryan, the only other people to win electoral votes and have a legitimate chance at the office.
