Or they could subpoena the documentation that would settle the question, since it is relevant to legislation on the floor.

That is what I was thinking. This situation was created by the Dems to create a “Damocles sword” situation for the Republicans. However, a little bit of political judo and you can now offer a subpoena in committee to resolve the issue and ask for an forgery specialist to review the documentation. All in the interest of truth and putting this issue to rest.

This would flip the Dems and put them on the defensive. Because the if they vote against allowing for the subpoena, they give cover to the Republicans to not support this “unsettled issue”.

Hmmmm---now THAT is a very interesting thought. Could be that the Dem's sarcasm will land them in a heap of trouble??

That's exactly what I would say. "Before I vote for this bill, let's subpoena the original long-form Birth Cert." Then let's see how the Dems respond to THAT!

Great idea! A couple of photocopies of the original birth certificate would do. When they’re done with them, send one to the national archive and save one for the Obama presidential library.
