Franks Goes On The Attack (Birth Certificate / Lawsuit)
Mohave Daily News ^ | August 23, 2009 | Jim Seckler

The other main issue dealt with numerous speakers questioning Obama's birth certificate and why there wasn't an investigation into whether he is a naturalized citizen. One woman said a newspaper announcement of his birth in Hawaii was not sufficient. Another asked how he could have a passport without a birth certificate.

Franks said there was not enough evidence that Obama is not an American citizen. He did say there was a lot of conflicting evidence of Obama's citizenship and that he was considering filing a lawsuit, the only congressman to do so. Franks asked why the president did not simply produce a birth certificate.

It is not incumbent upon the people to prove he isn't a natural born citizen. BO is required per Article 2 Section 1 to prove he is a natural born citizen.

I agree with you. The article did say that Franks was considering a lawsuit regarding the Obama birth certificate issue.

I think it even goes beyond what a president is required by law to do. obama knows there are people questioning his qualifications for office. He should care about the concerns of the American people and he should produce the BC to reassure eveyone, if for no other reason. The fact that he won’t do it is very significant, IMO.

Well, he would probably discuss the 10 Commandments and honesty with Obama.

I can’t believe that Obama got a passport without providing an actual birth certificate.

Even the FBI, CIA, State files should have background information on Obama. I would hope that they have information on his foreign travels (to Pakistan). They should know whether he had a foreign passport.

I have the feeling that even the Republicans are stonewalling this issue.

“Franks said there was not enough evidence that Obama is not an American citizen.”

So if I go into a business and they require me to provide them with photo id and social security card to PROVE I’m ELIGIBLE to work in the United States... I can say “Prove I’m not?”

I don’t think so and this is the way it needs to be presented to Congressmen and the media.

What is sad is the Congress should take this event as a reason to define through legislation or amendment to the Constitution a method of certification that a candidate must provide prior to being elected via the Electoral College. In lieu of the Congress each state could begin setting up a procedure whereby a candidate would provide the necessary documents before being placed upon the state ballot.

Well, Franks did indicate that he was considering a lawsuit over Obama’s citizenship.

What’s funny, the RATS are so determined to deflect any doubt and make sure he stays in, but he may be setting them for the biggest slaughtering at the polls in history in 2010. Will the RATS go so far as to put off the election?

I agree that the democRats could be facing their biigest defeat ever at the 2010 midterms. Note how they are trying to rig the replacement for Ted in Massachusetts.

Thank you for NOT capitalizing his name. Everyone should refuse to do so when referring to the fraud that occupies the White House.

It’s also about honesty. How will Hussein curb government corruption when he himself has everything hidden by his lawyers? When someone hides something, they have something to hide.

Yes and, that’s as for as it will go ?

All of congress and the SCOTUS are responsible for this tragedy !/ in real life, all them should be sued and prosecuted for high treason.
