I suppose you can't fault a candidate for not volunteering for the military, particularly in the late 1970s when Obama came of military age.
However, I do think it is important to know whether a male candidate for Commander-in-Chief registered for the draft. I remember doing it in 1981. Obama should have in 1979. I wonder if he did, given his foreign upbringing and foreign/lefty background.
Anyone know how to check this? The Selective Service website required birthdate and social security number.
“A man must be registered to be eligible for jobs in the Executive Branch of the Federal government.”
Somebody get on this and find out if he registered!!
“check to see if he received student loans.”
Michelle has spent half her time on the campaign complaining about their student loans !!!
The whole point of registering is so that they can find you when they need to. I'm waiting for someone to file an equal protection challenge since females are not required to register.
It has become an "it's all about me" society, which has resulted in the death knell you, I, and many others are hearing.

I've raised five kids, they were all like that....when they were seven.
I guess I know that. I just don't like the idea that for the rest of his life he needs to notify "big brother" if moves across town to a better place or something. Since they have his SS#, it ain't like they can't locate him. And I believe there are sanctions if he forgets to notify.
American men are still required to register for the Selective Service. My hubby had to do it in 1991.
Yes..once 18 young men must register with selective service. There is no draft now.
[Obama should have in 1979.]
Thank you Chris. This is something we’ve all been hunting for - without success so far!
Lemme get my popcorn and watch the responses to your post :o)
Very interesting.

Gosh potlatch!

It appears that Barack Hussein Obama’s father was not a legal resident of Hawaii
There were/are restrictions for college grants to non-residents then?
If so - How did his 1 year Hawaii resident(?) get records entered or changed stating her (alleged) marriage to her (alleged) husband (bigomist? - already married in Kenya then!) had legal residence?
Are these the rules and laws we can now ignore and flaunt?
As far as we know Barack Hussein Obama has not used cocaine in the last week - or is that why Skinny Obama keeps his hair cut so short?

Let’s see an original Selective Service registration card in Obama’s actual legal name that is dated within 90 days of his 18th birthday....

Source: The provisions of Proclamation 4771 of July 2, 1980, appear at 45 FR 45247, 3 CFR, 1980 Comp., p. 82, unless otherwise noted.
Section 3 of the Military Selective Service Act, as amended (50 U.S.C. App. 453), provides that male citizens of the United States and other male persons residing in the United States who are between the ages of 18 and 26, except those exempted by Sections 3 and 6(a) of the Military Selective Service Act, must present themselves for registration at such time or times and place or places, and in such manner as determined by the President. Section 6(k) provides that such exceptions shall not continue after the cause for the exemption ceases to exist.Barack Obama was born in Hawaii on August 4th, 1961 and was required to register with the selective service. The world wonders, did Obama register?The Congress of the United States has made available the funds (H.J. Res. 521, approved by me on June 27, 1980), which are needed to initiate this registration, beginning with those born on or after January 1, 1960.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, by the authority vested in me by the Military Selective Service Act, as amended (50 U.S.C. App. 451 et seq.), do hereby proclaim as follows:
1-1. Persons to be Registered and Days of Registration.
1-101. Male citizens of the United States and other males residing in the United States, unless exempted by the Military Selective Service Act, as amended, who were born on or after January 1, 1960, and who have attained their eighteenth birthday, shall present themselves for registration in the manner and at the time and places as hereinafter provided.
1-102. Persons born in calendar year 1960 shall present themselves for registration on any of the six days beginning Monday, July 21, 1980.
1-103. Persons born in calendar year 1961 shall present themselves for registration on any of the six days beginning Monday, July 28, 1980.
If Obama didn't register, maybe he's not eligible to be president

Now that's an interesting constitutional question!
Would that be interpreted as only applying civil service jobs? I bet it would!
Can the “people” can constitutionally elect a candidate who can not legally get a job in the federal civil service.
I would guess he’d claim to fall within the period when Registration was suspended early in 1975.
