The State of Hawaii has done no such thing. All they have done is state that they have the original certificate in the “vault” but have given no indication as to the information contained on that original.
The State of Hawaii has done nothing to confirm or deny 0bama’s eligibility to serve as POTUS as defined in the Constitution.
The language of the 20th puts the responsibility on the President elect to qualify, NOT on others to disqualify him or her.
Good post. I missed it. My point here is that a qualification is required by the constitution and does not depend on what process is in place to establish that it be met. If it’s been met, show us the proof. If not, then it STILL has not been met. I don’t think the process of the congress folks having to raise objections when the electoral college votes are opened even relates to whether or not the provisions of the twentieth amendment have been satisfied.
You are very brave. Welcome to Free Republic, I hope
Unfortunately, only those who have standing to challenge the qualifications of Mr. Obama may bring an action. However, anyone who brings an action seeking to challenge the qualifications of Mr. Obama, ipso facto, does not have standing to bring such an action.
And, I might add, don’t be slinging around terms like “non-starter” when you have nothing to base that on.
0bama remains unproven per Article II of the Constitution to serve as President as his bonafides have NOT been demonstrated.
Were 0bama to seek a security clearance based on the amount of information that has been provided regarding his origins, he would be denied such clearance.
“Do we as citizens have a right to know whether or not our president is actually a legal occupant of the White House?”
Well, it would appear at this point that we do not have any such right. This is a critical constitutional issue and deserves a full and complete hearing and resolution. There are far too many questions about this guy’s background and history that need to be clarified. It makes NO sense that he is spending, reportedly, hundreds of thousands of dollars to keep these details hidden, when a simple Birth Certificate would resolve the issue.
Keep the heat on him.
It’s time to take back the country.
0bama’s concealment of his birth certificate is utterly scandalous, but I fear that what the Constitution meant by “unable to qualify” was a case where no one received enough electoral votes, and the election was thrown into the House. Can anyone prove me wrong?
I think the long form probably lists him as “muslim”...nothing more, nothing less.
Hawaii did not confirm that he is a natural born citizen, a couple of officials just made a statement that they have his birth certificate is on file. So, it is important to keep the facts straight on this one.
Nevertheless, at this point, the birth issue is a diversion. We have to point out the dangers of this man on a daily basis so that in 2010 we can have a Congress that won’t bow to his every whim.
Maybe you should study up on the subject before making such statements. Especially seeing that you are new here. I don't hold much hope for this getting rid of Osama but you gotta ask yourself why doesn't he just come out and show it and make us look like fools. The longer this goes on the more hmm? it gets.
Here is a slightly condensed version of a list of items (compiled by another Freeper) of items that have NOT been released to the public by Comrade 0bama:
1. Original ‘Vault’ Copy of original Birth certificate
2. Columbia College records
3. Columbia Thesis paper
4. Harvard College records
5. Illinois State Senate records
6. Illinois State Senate schedule
7. Law practice client list and billing records/summary
8. Medical records (only the one page summary released so far)
9. Occidental College records
10. Parent’s Marriage Certificate
11. Record of baptism
12. Selective Service Registration
13. Trip schedules for trips outside of the United States before 2007
14. Scholarly articles written in college
15. Elementary School Records from DOE State of Hawaii.
NONE of our prior Presidents have felt the need to go to such extreme lengths to conceal the details of their origins and their educational/cultural history, why should the current Usurper be given a pass?
Hopefully you won't begin every one of your posts with well-known untruths such as "the state of Hawaii confirmed that he is a citizen of Hawaii and that the information in his short form Certification of Live Birth is an accurate representation of his actual birth certificate"
Otherwise you are not going to last.
A "President elect" is that way for a reason. He has clearly received enough electoral votes but under the twentieth amendment he STILL must "qualify".
