Even while US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton pursues her five-day visit to India, an event has occurred in the USA that could conceivably snowball into a major controversy to cut short President Obamas tenure. Article 2, Section 1 of the US Constitution states: No person except a US born citizen shall be eligible to the office of President.
During the last US campaign a controversy arose about Obamas birthplace. Critics were unsure if he was born in the USA or Kenya. Obamas campaign committee released a Hawaiian birth certificate on 13 June, 2008. Sceptics alleged that it had signs of forgery.
Obama maintained he was born in Hawaii. One hospital, Honolulu s Kapiolani Medical Center for Women and Children, claims it received a letter from the President declaring his birth there. But White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs refused to authenticate the letter. For nearly six months the hospital proudly declared Obama was born at its facility to create poll hype. Later it covered up and refused to confirm if the letter actually existed. The letter was purportedly signed by Barak Obama. If the signature was forged it was a most serious offence. Was any action taken against the Hospital?
This week the controversy about Obamas birthplace resurfaced dramatically. A US Army Reserve, Major Stefan Frederick Cook, scheduled for deployment to Afghanistan, refused to serve claiming that the order was illegal because the American President was not legitimate. He argued that he should not be required to serve under a President who has not proven his eligibility for office. As an officer in the armed forces of the United States, it is my duty to gain clarification on any order we may believe illegal. With that said, if President Obama is found not to be a natural-born citizen, he is not eligible to be commander-in-chief, Major Cook said. Then any order coming out of the presidency or his chain of command is illegal. Should I deploy, I would essentially be following an illegal order. If I happened to be captured by the enemy in a foreign land, I would not be privy to the Geneva Convention protections.
The military created shock waves by revoking the deployment order without giving any reasons. Thereby it evaded a reply to Major Cooks objection and implicitly acknowledged that it could offer no proof of President Obamas birth in the USA. If the military cannot vouch for President Obamas legitimacy the implications can be very far-reaching. Major Cooks case is being heard in the court of US District Judge David O Carter. The judge told the plaintiffs to fix their paperwork and that he would listen to the merits of their case. The date of the hearing was fixed for 16 July.
It is unlikely that the US mainstream media will highlight the event. But regardless of the judges verdict, will the issue die? If it snowballs into a crisis America could face a cruel choice. While it battles a severe economic meltdown it may have to either remove a most popular President or violate its Constitution.
I dont know if Ann was her only child or if B.O. was her first grandchild, but knowing where she was on that day might reveal a lot.
I haven't followed the details of every case that has been presented.
I am surprised that there are Congressman, I think, who propose to make eligibility an issue in future elections, but who have not taken the issue to the Court themselves. Though the Court may be reluctant, it is their duty to say what the law is. Would they have the audacity to suggest that a Congressman has no standing to know whether the President is eligible? It simply cannot be that nobody has standing. That would make a clause of the Constitution have no effect. I believe that the Court long ago ruled that such is never the case.
It was commonly predicted two hundred years ago that our Republic would survive until the people learned that they could vote themselves benefits. That time has arrived. Just as with Kalifornia, there is no cure short of bankruptcy for what ails us.
A friend of mine that works with a lot of liberals told me that many of them are starting to think something is fishy and isn’t adding up. They also mentioned his medical records and one of them almost didn’t vote for him because he wouldn’t show any of his past records, but he did it anyway. What a rat!
Obama in a few months will no longer be “popular” and as an American I feel that no one should be allowed to violate the Constitution. As time goes on and his approval falls further and further perhaps some American journalist will finally do some investigating and viola we’ll have Watergate on steriods!
Time to give this up and work on defeating him in ‘12. It doesn’t matter if he was born in China or North Korea anymore
________________
YES, it does matter. Nobody is giving up. Her’s a LIAR, he knows he is a liar and it will be an albatross around his neck until he proves to the citizens who he really is. I want all of his unreleased records. That slimy SOB needs to get it through his head, he works for us, we don’t work for him.
I feel SCOTUS won’t touch on fear of death threats and riots in the street
_____________
What if their were riots in the streets because of it. Would they touch it then? I see more anger, more distrust as each day,passes, as each Marxist bill passes, as unemployment soars, as people are losing their jobs, homes, savings, civil unrest will grow and the SCOTUS may wish they had done their job and addressed it sooner.
The problem is not what his sister said. She may or may not have said it. It appears the family told a lot of lies. Maybe she was told that is where he was born. Maybe she was misquoted. We don’t know.
What we do know is that WND is making a huge deal about the “Scrubbing” of Queen’s Hospital as it pertains to this statement from UPI:
“Obama described his birth at Queen’s Medical Center”
It is not even clear that Obama actually used those words. It could be that UPI thought Queen’s Medical Center and then went on to what Obama described.
It isn’t clear WHERE the words came from or WHO said them.
Until WND and the rest of Free Republic can find an actual incident of Obama stating he was born at Queen’s Hospital this may be nothing more than UPI making a mistake...media quoting them..and now a correction is being done.
If people don’t investigate ..then they are as quilty as Keith about Jim Thompson who didn’t check the facts and relied on someone elses version of them.
In skimming one of his books at the bookstore I noticed a reference to someone working at UPI. I can’t remember what the deal was but it seems like he was friends, business associates or something with someone who had or did work for UPI. I can’t say exactly what since I was only skimming and didn’t think to actually pay attention to the sentence.
But the rest of the posted piece is surprising well written and factually accurate, especially considering that the writer is an Indian, writing about a uniquely American subject.
Then our government is a poser government, and we will have to do something negative to keep our children from being their slaves. Czars have a short history, that usually end with a rope. Our only hope is that justice will be served in a court of law, instead of the streets. But Justice will be served, it is the way of history.
Indeed, a certificate of live birth cannot be used to get a driving permit for a 16 year old. You have to use a Birth Certificate for that or so I have heard.

MAJOR STEFAN COOK WILL BE ON THE ANDREA SHAE KING SHOW! http://www.blogtalkradio.com/ASKShow/2009/07/16/The-Andrea-Shea-King-Show
Let's hope that articles like this will spread the truth all around the word.
He is a *#$&*%$ LIAR!!!!!!!! He went to high school there and out of 2 hospitals he didn’t know where he was born? Do they think we are that stupid? He is LYING. He wasn’t born in either of those hospitals and they are behind the cover up.
Limbaugh has mentioned it, Levin punts, don’t know what his problem is.
What it actually says: “No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President.”
______________
Well if it says that, then why can’t Arnold run for president? He is a citizen of the United States.
get off their asses now, not wait for trouble to land on their doorstep. Hesitation is a form of retreat, toleration is a little surrender.
_____________
Amen, that would make a good tagline if it would fit.
