Freshman Republican Rep. Bill Posey of Florida has introduced a bill aimed at quelling persistent Internet rumors from the right-wing base of the GOP about President Obama's citizenship.

"Opponents of President Obama are raising the birth certificate issue as a means of questioning his eligibility to serve as president," Posey said in a statement. "This bill, by simply requiring such documentation for future candidates for president, will remove this issue as a reason for questioning the legitimacy of a candidate elected as president."

Several right-leaning outlets, such as WorldNetDaily and Newsmax, repeatedly have questioned Obama's citizenship. Posey's bill, H.R. 1503, 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."

WND has chronicled several legal challenges filed by those who believe Obama may not be eligible under the Constitution to be president. Obama's supporters have dismissed them as "garbarge."

Last year, while these allegations were in full force, several outlets, including the Los Angeles Times and the Daily Kos, reprinted a copy of Obama's Hawaiian birth certificate to quiet allegations regarding Obama's citizenship.

This could be a great way to make the democrats look really bad. It’s a good bill and opposing it would make a lot of people wonder why.

0bomo will have to prove it in 2112....if he runs and that is a big if.

0bomo is a one termer

I'm calling my right-wing whacko congressman, whom I love dearly, tomorrow.

Beat me to it, but it bears repeating. *PING!*

The enemedia will cover for the pelicanosi-rastis reid cabal in opposition ... Nancy and Harry are culpable as accessories to the fraud which allowed the affirmative action poseur to get on the ballots and through the swearing in without opposition they knew was due.

Either 0bomo is qualified or he isn't
0bomo has specialized in getting his opponents records opened

This con man karma is coming back to ruin him in 2112 or sooner.
His BC is hiding stuff ...Lord knows what

PLEASE tell me Obama still won't be President in 2112...that's more than 100 years away! ;-)

[dennisw]

2012....right

Someone needs to remind Congressman Posey about Lord Zero's speach on the confirmation of Justice Roberts.

"Let me also say that I remain distressed that the White House during this confirmation process, which overall went smoothly, failed to provide critical documents as part of the record that could have provided us with a better basis to make our judgment with respect to the nomination. This White House continues to stymie efforts on the part of the Senate to do its job. I hope with the next nominee who comes up for the Supreme Court that the White House recognizes that in fact it is its duty not just to the Senate but to the American people to make sure we can thoroughly and adequately evaluate the record of every single nominee who comes before us."

This is an inaccurate statement as reported by The Washington Times.

I dunno about that.

If he keeps up his redistribution of wealth agenda, he'll have more and more slackers voting for him.

Pretty soon, they'll outnumber us. We'll be their slaves.

“0bomo is a one termer”

Any luck in 2010 1/2 termer.
