You appear to be intently and consistantly taking the Democrat position.

The bottomline is, the Constitution clearly states in Article 11, Section 1, that the President must be a natural born American citizen to serve as President. That’s enough to require Obama to cough up his original birth certificate and other documents.

You said — “You appear to be intently and consistantly taking the Democrat position.”

And, as I’ve said all along, the truth does not come with Democrat or Republican labels. It’s simply the truth of the matter. The problem (and the truth of the matter) is that there is no legal requirement for Obama to prove anything more than prior candidates have been required to legally prove. That’s the truth of the matter. It’s not Democrat or Republican.

And then you said — “The bottomline is, the Constitution clearly states in Article 11, Section 1, that the President must be a natural born American citizen to serve as President. That’s enough to require Obama to cough up his original birth certificate and other documents.”

And there’s another “truth of the matter” in your statement.

The qualifications for President are clear. Obama (and his campaign and the party) have already signed legal documents saying he is qualified. That’s the legal end of it.

And, in your statement — “That’s enough to require Obama to cough up his original birth certificate and other documents.” — has already been shown to be wrong. If just the statement in the Constitution were *enough* to *require* Obama to do so — it would have been done by now. The fact that it was *not enough* is why it was not done.

And so, there’s the “truth to the matter”... as I’ve been saying all along. It’s not Democrat or Republican, but merely what is true.

That’s also the reason why I’ve said that this shows there is a big hole in the vetting process and that’s why state laws are needed to *require* the specific documentation (that you are talking about). Until that is done, it won’t be *required*....

Oklahoma and Arizona are working on that statute and process right now.
