Kenyan Citizens Need Not Apply: House Bill will ensure future Presidents are qualified
The Official Wire ^ | March 14, 2009 | Greg Smith

Posted on 03/16/2009 10:23:32 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

No offense to the citizens of Kenya, or any other nation for that matter, but the current president of the United States—Barack Hussein Obama II—is spending a great deal of his campaign supporter's money fending off what should be a really simple discovery: the vault version of his original birth certificate.

Rep. Bill Posey, R-Fla., has filed H.R. 1503, an amendment to the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, which increased required campaign fund disclosure and was later amended to establish the Federal Elections Commission.

Posey's Bill would prevent future similar obstructions of justice and would "require the principal campaign committee of a candidate for election to the office of president to include with the committee's statement of organization a copy of the candidate's birth certificate, together with such other documentation as may be necessary to establish that the candidate meets the qualifications for eligibility to the Office of President under the Constitution."

H.R. 1503 has been referred to the House Committee on House Administration.

According to a report on WorldNetDaily yesterday, a California court ruled that anyone can run for president on the California ballot, whether or not they are eligible under the Constitution of the United States.

"Secretary of State Debra Bowen contends that there is no basis for mandamus relief because the Secretary of State has no 'ministerial duty' to demand detailed proof of citizenship from presidential candidates," said Judge Michael P. Kenny. "The court finds this argument persuasive."

That opinion threw out a case that had raised questions over Obama's eligibility that had been brought by Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation on behalf of Ambassador Alan Keyes, a 2008 presidential candidate, and others.

We support the passing of H.R. 1503 and you should too—it merely ensures that the U.S. Constitution is upheld.

If we keep them busy with this one, maybe they will have less time to do more real damage?

I called my rep and Eric Cantor, both fine repubs.

If public pressure grows enough, she’ll be forced to. Remember, all politicians live by public opinion polls. We need to be vocal and get public opinion to turn in our favor. The truth must be released.

If any Freeper knows an employee at the Hawaii public records office...

That's just it. It does nothing about the pretender in office today. There may not be a future POTUS one this guy and his minions are finished.

This Bill can be tacked on to lots of other Bills, as an amendment.
It might get fun.

A couple of things would have to happen for that to take place.

First, the MSM would have to actually do their job and report the story. I have a better chance of getting hit by a meteor.

Second, a fair number of the Obama Kool-Aid drinkers would have to want to see the matter pursued. I mean, we have a vocal minority of FReepers on these threads who tell us to shut up and move along.

There are a lot of upset people out there who lost any respect for our government they had.

The laws of Hawaii allow for any vital record to be subpoenaed by an officer of the court. That means the Republican Attorney General of Hawaii Mark L. Bennett (or any District Attorney as well) could seek a subpoena for Obama’s long form, vault copy birth ceritificate from any judge in the state.
THAT is where the pressure should be brought to bear, in my humble opinion.

That's what House and Senate committees are for. They root out "pesky" and "frivolous" amendments. The 'Rats and a fair number of RINOs would slash this out in a heartbeat.

So what?
The purpose of this Bill is publicity.
There is no way Obama will sign off on it.

To: All

I think a campaign should be mounted to recall Obama until he provides the citizens of the USA with valid documentation that he is eligible to be POTUS.

I mean real documentation - verified by another nation not in danger of being blackmailed by Obama or paid off in US funds.
