Of course it’s a fake. The question is why hasn’t the FEC demanded proof of Obama’s place of birth?

Another question, since every citizen has an interest in making sure that the potential president of the United States if fully eligible for the office, can we pool our money and hire a lawyer to sue Obama for a certified copy of his birth certificate shipped directly from Hawaii? I would be willing to throw in $100.

My question as well. Doesn't the FEC require a certified copy of your birth certificate when you file your candidacy for President?

“The question is why hasn’t the FEC demanded proof of Obama’s place of birth?”

FEC is ONLY concerned with finance and money issues. I don't think there is a federal agency charged with determining eligibility.

When you run for president you file in each state you want to be on the ballot of- there is no Federal election, only 50 state elections (more, up to 60, for some candidates).

I looked for federal forms and could find only state-level forms, mostly for the primaries.

Here are two Delaware pages. One has the process, the other the form you fill out, and neither has a section for US Constitutional eligibility. There is a mention of “eligible to receive Federal matching funds under the IRS code” but I bet the IRS does not check to see if you are a “natural citizen”.

Bottom line, I think there is no real process to check- no “controlling legal authority”!

I can't do more research now, maybe someone else can look up the IRS eligibility issue?

What a humiliatingly bad idea. This birth certificate whining is such a distraction from the issues that I'm sure the lefties would love for you to take on a quixotic suit like this and hand them a public victory. But hey, it's your money, and I'm sure you could find a lawyer willing to take it!

FINALLY! A VOICE OF REASON.
WE KNOW IT’S A FAKE. WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?
