A congressional document that has been posted on the Internet confirms no one – not Congress, not the states and not election officials – bothered to check Barack Obama's eligibility to be president, and in fact, that status remains undocumented to this day.
It's because state and federal law did not require anyone in Congress or elsewhere to check to see if Obama was a "natural born Citizen" under the meaning of Article 2, Section 1 of the Constitution, according the document.
The analysis by the Congressional Research Service, a research arm of the U.S. Congress, openly admits no one in the federal government, including Congress, ever asked to see Obama's long-form, hospital-generated birth certificate. In fact, it explains no one was required to do so.
Technically, the CRS is a public policy research arm of the United States Congress that is organized as a legislative branch agency within the Library of Congress; the CRS works exclusively for members of Congress, congressional committees and congressional staff in an advisory capacity, answering questions.

WOW, and you have the audacity to call me a troll? O’Reilly is looking out for you. He may be wrong on a few issues but he’s one of the most trusted individuals in the media according to polls. Btw, Hannity and Beck have also refused to address this birther crap because they know it’s crap, and I already mentioned Coulter. How come you can’t point to any mainstream conservatives pushing this? All you have are a two-bit Russian emigre attorney who graduated from some crappy correspondence school, and a bunch of scumbag DWI lawyers like Apuzzo filing little cases of their own. Can you point me to even one well-known conservative outside of FR really pushing this arrow? And don’t bother mentioning WND. They aren’t well known and they’re a joke. Fox News ran stories about them. The Arab Farah practically runs it out of his house. I just want one famous conservative pushing this issue. Name one. I’ve given you a few that have either smacked it down OR, when confronted with it, refused to address it. If it’s really the home-run that you think it is, surely Sean and Rush should be falling over themselves to be the first to break this huge story. But they aren’t, hmmm. Yeah, I’m on the right side of this one. You’re on the quack side.
0’Reilly is a buffoon. You sound like an advertisement for him.
Her opinion is worth a lot more than yours because she’s a proven conservative and she’s a brilliant attorney. Where did you go to law school?
Here's what Glenn Beck said about the birther issue in January:
"On the air today, popular radio host Glenn Beck mocked "birthers" and claimed there is a concerted campaign to get those questioning Barack Obama's constitutional eligibility onto the airwaves – a strategy Beck said would actually benefit Obama.
"There's always games being played behind the scenes at a talk radio show," Beck said. "Rush has always called them seminar callers. But instead of being coy with the seminar callers or with you, I'm just going to expose the game that is going on. Today there is a concerted effort on all radio stations to get birthers on the air."
"I have to tell you, are you working for the Barack Obama administration?" Beck scoffed. "I mean, that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard."
I'll ask you again, TigersEye. Name one famous conservative who supports the birthers. And O'Reilly is not a buffoon. He has 5 million followers. How many does O-rly have?
Welcome to FR .. what drew you to this thread ?
I never mentioned her here or on any other thread. Never followed her cases.
... and a bunch of scumbag DWI lawyers like Apuzzo filing little cases of their own.
I don't know anything about him either and I'm not taking your word for his character.
Can you point me to even one well-known conservative outside of FR really pushing this arrow? And don’t bother mentioning WND.
Why would I I don't read WND.
They aren’t well known and they’re a joke. Fox News ran stories about them.
Oooooo that's meaningful. /s
I just want one famous conservative pushing this issue. Name one. I’ve given you a few that have either smacked it down OR, when confronted with it, refused to address it.
Refusing to address it doesn't mean a thing.
If it’s really the home-run that you think it is,...
I never made an assessment of its political value. You sure make a lot of assumptions.
... surely Sean and Rush should be falling over themselves to be the first to break this huge story. But they aren’t, hmmm.
Rush makes cracks about it all the time. He never condescends to birthers.
Yeah, I’m on the right side of this one. You’re on the quack side.
Another one of your crackpot opinions with no supporting argument. You sure do know the leftist talking points to a T though.
That’s rich. But I assume you’d have a problem with me linking to the non-partisan FactCheck on this issue because of their funding from Annenberg Foundation, even though pundits on the right side of the spectrum like O’Reilly have used their info on this matter to debunk the birther myths.
~~~~~
Whoa ...! And loaded for bear, too . .. with all the
obot talking points. Slick.
Where do you go to law school? In fact what offshore medical school did you go to?
Oh, man. They aren’t leftist talking points, TigersEye. Leftists love the birther movement. Look at what leftist commentators say about it- they aren’t angry. They’re telling you guys to KEEP GOING. It’s conservatives like Glenn Beck and Medved and Bill O’Reilly who are telling you to be quiet about it. Now why do you think that is?
Talking heads are your point of reference? Do you ever have a thought of your own?
Would it be worth $10 dollars to you to settle this?
ROFL ... comin’ on like gangbusters, huh newbie?
Tiger, this one is so completely scripted, it’s
laughable.
They come .. and they go.
Anyway, if you're really that interested, TigersEye, I will fax you photocopies of my B.S. from Penn State ('00) and M.D. from Jefferson ('04) if you'd like. Just give me a photocopy of yours in return. I don't really see how that is relevant to this discussion in any way, however... Cheers.
I know. He may be so new to this anti-birther troll business that he doesn’t even know how scripted he is.
Must be on the late night shift ... ;)
Who gives a crap where you or your friends went to med school?
$10 dollars for what, exactly? P.S. — my colleagues at the hospital are getting quite the kick out of this. :) Slow night...
TigersEye, no, no, TigersEye. -_-
Here's what you said:
Who gives a crap where you or your friends went to med school?"
You brought it up in post #148:
Where do you go to law school? In fact what offshore medical school did you go to?
So maybe that answers your question about who gives a crap? You asked what offshore medical school I went to. I interpreted that to mean that you wanted to know what medical school I attended. I don't see how my profession or education relevant to this discussion and I did not bring it up until you did. You also mentioned it earlier in the thread:
That and your superior-than-thou attitude. Maybe that's just the doctor in you. Been there and dealt with that for the first thirty years of my life. lol
So does that answer your question now, TigersEye?
So, is it worth $10 dollars to settle the birther issue? Can't you even answer one straight question?
When you grow up maybe you'll recognize rhetorical sarcasm.
