Purely as a Constitutional question:

Who would review the birth certificate?

And what if that judge said “no” to the candidate? Any appeal?

It is to late to stop the one we got now.

It will never pass, why would the illegal alien sign something like this? Maybe if it exempts himself, we could stop this from happening again.

Obama would simply hand over a fake copy of his birth cetificate to Nancy who would say... looks good to me!

The fact that DUh-bama did not list his alias (Barry Soetoro) on his bar application nor renounce his Indonesian citizenship should be enough to impeach.

"It is now a near certainty that Obama was born in Kenya and that Obama lied on his bar application by leaving out alias and traffic violations."

DUmocrats would like to ignore THE EVIDENCE but do so at their own peril. It took a national election for him to pay 20-year old traffic violations...anyone else would have arrest warrants and multiple fines. Those who stand with the criminal usurper should share in his fate as conspirators when the truth finally catches up to him.

Yes. That would be true. He would be a naturalized American citizen.

What I am saying is that even if we accept he was bon in Hawaii, not having both parents be American citizens, Obama is not a natural-born citizen. If he was born in Hawaii, he is an American citizen, he is a natural citizen, but not a ‘natural-born’ citizen. Which he must be to be president.

Either way, he is not a natural-born citizen.

No matter which way you look at it, Obama is not a "natural born citizen".

> “Anyone in Washington knows what's already required to be president,” Jones said. Intelligence officials conduct extensive background checks before presidents take office, he added.

>Is this true, or did he make it up?

This is a conversation between the Special Agent-in-Charge: C. Frank Figliuzzi of the Cleveland FBI and Mike Trivisonno on the Mike Trivisonno Show, WTAM 1100, 7/02/08, Hr. 2.

Caller - Do they perform background checks on candidates and fellows who are in Congress and the Senate and perhaps potential presidential candidates?.

FBI - The short answer is no, no we don’t, but they’re given top secret clearances because they’re members of Congress, or Senators, or even higher ranking officials.

Host - Time out. There are no background checks from the FBI on the people that lead the country, the United States of America?.

FBI - Let me emphasize, elected officials. This is a democracy, the people have elected an official to represent them in Washington, and we do not routinely run background checks on those people.

Host - Even people running for president of the United States of America?.

FBI - That’s correct.

Host - That’s a little weird

FBI - Well, its part of democracy, its part of what the American people want, they want to be able to vote for somebody to represent them in Washington and they don’t want us to get in the way of that and we have no predilection to get in the way of that.

Host - Yeah, but what if they’re voting for a bad person and they don’t know that person is bad, do you follow me?. I’m saying, if the guy’s got a background and maybe he’s involved with some people that he shouldn’t be involved with, shouldn’t we know that as voters?.

FBI - Well, I think you’d agree that the American political process is about as rigorous as you’ll ever see and if there’s dirt back there, probably the opponent is gonna get it out probably before anyone else will.

Host - Now I know why you’re the head of the FBI, they’re good, aren’t they?.

Me - Let’s just hope that somebody is up to the job!.

You said — Whether or not you dismiss “birthers” as kooks, the Constitutional Qualification question is a loophole that must be closed for future elections.

It’s *right at this point* — that many of them take up residence in “Kookville” — because they don’t recognize that precise loophole that you just mentioned...

AND..., one other place where many of them “take up residence in Kookville” — is — by saying “Obama is not really the President”... LOL... [ya coulda fooled me... :-) ....]

To say the least, if this bill passes, Obama will not be permitted to run in 2012 (lol).

Simply run for President against obama... then presto you have standing.

Good Luck with that, it did not help Alan Keyes one bit.
