Despite the professed mystification of the political and media classes, this issue has long been recognized.

The current iteration of "birthers" just don't support these efforts of long standing, hence the derision.

from the relative calm of my agnosticism on this issue, I find it fasciniting the machinations that are being exerted in antagonism to the “birthers.”

I have said the state legislation is better and quicker to accomplish. I don’t see this one getting through Congress. But, I do see that some individual states can do this quickly. It would technically only require one state to enact the law, but having five or so would be better, so that no candidate could bypass those states and no comply...

Hatch needs to be voted out of office.

Just how 'American' must a president be?

Forget loosening requirements why has it become necessary after more that two hundred years to specify procedures to verify eligibility?

The simple fact vis-à-vis verifying presidential candidates is it's a new age; gone is the age of trusting each other because we were Americans first. We competed for the "spoils" but we were Americans first and we respected the Constitution.

No more. Enter the 1960s Marxist-Alinsky hippie street rabble and their ideological issue (Obama, the Nytimese and millions more)-cum-Rat Party (formerly the traditional, patriotic Democratic Party). F--- the Constitution, the ends justify the means.

It may take a Constitutional crisis to get the Rat to release his long form b.c. like Americans do all the time -- and yes it may prove Hawaiian birth, etc. but at least he'd be doing what Americans are expected to do.

I thought this 'birther' 'colb' stuff was a "dead issue".

[org.whodat]

Nickles's legislation, inspired by an aide who adopted two children from Eastern Europe, does not address immigrants' right to hold America's highest office. But his colleague Orrin Hatch, Republican of Utah, who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, last year introduced a constitutional amendment to loosen the prohibition on foreign-born citizens serving as president.

Another dog breath politician trying to piss on the Constitution.

This is no difference than the democrats trying to do away with the electoral collage by vote and in fact may lead to the same.

[dalereed]

send Hatch back to his former job as an iron lather.

Don’t change the current requirements!!!!!!

Interestingly, the paper and the critters know our problem, but they are conveniently NOT mentioning the present illegal alien and usurper's in the White House, about his real problem, hmmm!!!
