A retired Army general and national security policy expert says Lt. Col. Terry Lakin has "a valid point" and should use his "right to discovery" to force the Obama administration to produce proof of his natural-born citizenship status.
In an interview with Evil Conservative Radio, Maj. Gen. Paul Vallely said, "I think many in the military – and many out of the military – question the natural-birth status of Barack Obama. … I'm not convinced that he is [a natural-born citizen]."
Vallely, CEO of Stand Up America U.S., graduated from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and was commissioned in the Army in 1961, serving 32 years.
He said he inspected his own long-form birth certificate, and it contains a doctor's name, date and location of birth.
"But he's never been able to produce that," he said of Obama. "His unwillingness to do it also concerns me. I think Lt. Col. Lakin has a valid point. … He refuses to produce a birth certificate that states the witnessing of the birth, the date and who is the doctor. We don't know why he won't come out with that."

b.t.w. Vattel was Swiss (not French) and Blackstone wrote "commentaries" on British common law.
The vaunted Blackstone himself stated the importance of natural law:
Blackstone affirmed the basis of natural law:
"This law of nature, being co-eval with mankind and dictated by God himself, is of course superior in obligation to any other. It is binding over all the globe, in all countries, and at all times: no human laws are of any validity, if contrary to this; and such of them as are valid derive all their force, and all their authority, mediately or immediately, from this original” (1979, 41). In this passage, Blackstone articulates the two claims that constitute the theoretical core of conceptual naturalism: 1) there can be no legally valid standards that conflict with the natural law; and 2) all valid laws derive what force and authority they have from the natural law."
The Senate can pass resolutions all day.
They mean nothing in the law. It’s political smoke and mirrors.
I feel like a jerk praying for his conviction, but that’s really what has to happen - if it’s true that the military wouldn’t allow him discovery. I hope they do allow discovery though. I hate feeling like our military leadership is full of bad guys.
Bwwwaaaahahahahaa, did you post that with a straight face???
I have to go clean the spit of my monitor now, thanks.
Loose ends. I love it. Obama is the diarrhea president.
That’s right up there with the Toyota Regime.
And the irony with THAT is that he is more White and Arabic than Black!
The whole thing's a scam!
He truly has no citizenship simply because he is not a person in the legal sense.
Barry Soetoro never had his name legally changed, so Barack Obama is an alias......
Fictitious characters are not 'born', so they can have no birth certificate.
Shame on you, Butter.
LOL!
Technically, the voter is choosing electors who must submit evidence of being qualified to be an elector. The names of the parties' nominees are provided by the states as a convenience, and AFAIK, it is the parties that provide an attestation of qualification as to their candidates.
There have been occasions where clearly unqualified candidate's names appear on the presidential election ballots - out and out foreigners!
But even if the states screw up in the "convenience name," that has no direct legal effect beyond misleading the voters. The people are voting for a PARTY when it comes to the presidential election.
The entity with the duty to discern qualification of the person with a sufficient number of electoral votes is Congress.
He is right, trish. You can freepmail me for further details.
SHOW ME where they said that ---
YOU are the one doing the ASSUMING, not them.
And you know what happens to those who ASSUME --
Here in Nevada, soon anyone who wishes to renew their driver license will have to show a Certified BC, SS card or passport and proof of address (utility bill etc).
Everyone must comply by 2017
Ahhh...so they believed your definition was correct, but put Obama in office without a single protest.
OK. Believe that if you wish. Wanna buy a bridge?
I just checked posting history, what there is of it.
It nees to go back to the shadows from whence it came (very recently I might add).
LOL —
Unless the Factcheck clows made the forgery. So Gibbs actually said he or whoever he represents, obviously 0thugga, gave the paper to the Factchecks clowns. Gibbs really stepped in it, then.
Yep, a political coup without a shot fired.
ROTFLOL!
Beckwith keeping his cool.
