Is President Barack Obama’s citizenship still in question?
State Rep. Ed Emery, a Lamar Republican who plans to run for the state Senate, thinks so, and says for that reason that he this week attended an event on behalf of his constituents.
His attendance Wednesday at an event at which Orly Taitz, a California dentist and lawyer, continued to challenge Obama’s citizenship has Emery at opposites with House Speaker Ron Richard, a Joplin Republican, on the matter.
“I don’t think it’s an issue,” said Richard, who is known for blunt reactions. “I’m not concerned about that. We have no jurisdiction to look at something like that, and I wasn’t consulted about this meeting.’’
Even though concerns over Obama’s citizenship have been widely debunked by state officials in Hawaii, and even though the U.S. Supreme Court has declined to even give the notion a thought, Emery says he remains unconvinced.
Emery said he was at the event Wednesday at a Jefferson City hotel to listen to Taitz’s arguments and hear her evidence. He was the only recognized legislator at that meeting.
Later that day, Taitz spoke at St. Louis. In attendance there were state Rep. Cynthia Davis, R-O’Fallon, and a representative of state Rep. Jim Lembke, R-Lemay. They, too, said they attended to hear Taitz’s position.
Taitz alleged that Obama was born in Kenya, the home country of his father; that Obama has failed to produce a true copy of his Hawaii birth certificate; the birth documentation he has produced may be a forgery; that the president has falsified his Selective Service papers and his application to the Illinois bar; and that the president may have as many as 25 Social Security numbers.
Taitz maintains that without an acceptable version of his birth certificate, it’s impossible to know if Obama was born in Hawaii and, thus, whether he qualifies as a “natural-born citizen’’ as required by the Constitution.
In response to reporter inquiries about his attendance at the meeting, Emery released an official statement on Friday.
Emery said he attended the meeting “because lots of claims have been made and he has never seen any responses to them that settle the issue. The courts have chosen not to accept this on review.’’
As an elected representative, Emery said he took an oath “to defend the Constitution. I felt like this was important and that serious questions have been raised. I attended the event out of an interest and obligation to my constituents and the Constitution, and it was my duty as a state representative.’’
He said he did look at Taitz’s documentation, but “she had a lot of documents there and has done a lot of traveling and spent a lot of money on the legitimacy of his citizenship and how well they have satisfied the constitutional obligations.”

Stopped reading right there. That's a lie.
You can’t change the rules after game starts.
Suppose celebrity Republicans Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who was born in Austria and singer Gloria Estefan, who was born in Cuba, chose to run for President.
They would be prevented from doing so since per Article 2, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution, one must be a natural born citizen of the United States to hold office as President. Their births in Austria and Cuba would not be considered natural born citizenship.
A case might be made that Barack Obama knew that he was not eligibile to serve as President since he’s probably not a natural born citizen. Consequently, he forged a “Certification of Live Birth” (COLB) and advertised it to the American people as authentic.
Dr. Ron Polarik analyzed Obama’s COLB and determined it to be a forgery. I firmly agree with him. The enclosed link provides Polarik’s article and displays the alleged forged document while pointing out altered numbers and discrepancies, etc.:

It is a felony to forge a government document and there could be a multitude of felony counts contained here against Obama.
Dr. Polarik has also indicated that he will update this report.
We the American people have the right to know if our President is eligible to hold office. For many, Obama has not proven this requirement.
Obama, I ask, WHERE were you born in Hawaii? Prove it! Where is your original birth certificate? Where?
The authorities MUST enforce the Constitution and require Obama to prove that he is a natural born American citizen. Action on this case is past due! If the Constitution were not going to be enforced, Schwarzenegger or Estefan could have been on the Republican ticket in 2008. What law permits the Democrats special privileges?
In closing, our past Presidents have Birthplace Museums. Just to name a few, Ronald Reagan has a Birthplace Museum in Tampico, Illinois and Bill Clinton has a Birthplace Museum in Hope, Arkansas where they were born. Where will Barack Obama’s Birthplace Museum be located at? At the Coast Provincial General Hospital in Mombasa, Kenya?
As far as the type of birth certificate, I would imagine any that is legally issued and good enough to get a US passport should be sufficient.
Right you are! An attorney in New Jersey, Mario Apuzzo, is pursuing Kerschner vs. Obama (on behalf of Charles Kerschner).
This assumes Barry was indeed born in Hawaii....
Classic media bias. A single Hawaii official said (unofficially) that a document exists stating he was born alive. The supreme court has given the notion several thoughts. Yet, by misstating these facts, the 'birthers' are ridiculed.
Keep the heat on him! The truth will come out, eventually. I hope there is a nation left to rescue, when the truth is revealed.
For my part, I do not believe 0bama is eligible to hold the office, per the US Constitution. I can’t see any other reason for him to be spending so much money to keep the truth from the public. It has been reported that he has spent nearly a million dollars extending his fraud. That is very telling, IMO.
It should be a simple matter to provide a certified copy of his full BC, his college records (who paid for the tuition?), and the passport he used when he traveled to Pakistan in the 1980’s (US passport wouldn’t be accepted at that time).
Far too many questions. It’s as if there is no tangible evidence to support any of his claims about his past... A true Manchurian candidate? Perhaps. Maybe we should ask George Soros.
It’s time to take back the country.
Well then you're a moron or a lying Obama butt-kisser. Wasn't your state one of the 57 that recently held separate elections for the purpose of choosing a president?
Do not candidates running for election to higher office in Missouri have to show eligibility to your Sec of State in order to get on a ballot?
Idiot.
fyi
While the answer to the question is obviously, "yes," that really isn't the question. He is supposed to be a natural born citizen. A natural born athlete is not just an athlete.

I’m with you! We the people have standing and the right to know if our President is elgible. I don’t see how Obama is eligible to hold office as President (or Senator).

Obama’s alleged forged “Selective Service” registration document strengthens the claim that his “Certification of Live Birth” (COLB) is also a forgery.

Do you all see how ignorant the (R) Speaker Richards and a bunch of other bought off politicians are. They don’t even KNOW the Constitution for which they swore to defend and uphold. It is so pitiful!!!
Not exactly!
The Gov stated, "he has a BC". She did state, the BC says he wuz berfed!
And not only sit on the butt, I have signed up for it. That’s the least thing you and I can do for our Constitution, because we are now at a corrupt point that We The People have no standing, wake up, especially TODAY on July 4th!!!
??????????????????????????????????????
Like Hope and Change...made an ASS out of U and ME.
