Congressional analysis: Obama eligibility never was confirmed
WND ^ | NOVEMBER 8, 2010 | Jerome R. Corsi

Posted on 11/08/2010 5:11:53 PM PST by RobinMasters

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.

It couldn’t have been rhetorical sarcasm unless you’re implying that there’s no way I could have attended an offshore medical school? Hmm. Oopsie on your part. It was a pathetic slam that really had no relevance to the thread but you’ve been doing it all night so why should I be surprised? You seem to have seriously distorted views about doctors, maybe it’s jealousy, maybe it’s something else. I don’t know. All I know is that I’m not the one that needs to grow up. I’m married with a child. You take disagreement over issues too personally and lash out. It’s not healthy for your heart. You need to chill.

Why don’t you explain what you mean when you ask me if it’s worth $10 to settle the birther issue? Why don’t you elaborate? And fyi, I’m an anesthesiologist whose fellowship was in pain management, so you couldn’t be more wrong about my experience with pharmacology and pharmacokinetics. I don’t have as much training as a pharmacist obviously but more than pretty much every other specialty.

Tell you what. If you’re offering to pay me for consultation on the birther issue then I’ll only charge you half my locums rate. Instead of $1400 a day and $175 an hour, I’ll only charge you $100/hr.

Maybe it's Pelousy that's pushing this now - she doesn't seem the type to relinquish her power quietly. She probably puts herself to sleep by picking out curtains for Air Force 1 in her head.

It's a long time between now and January....lots could happen.

I’ve always wondered why it was reasonable for John McCain to be subjected to Congressional hearings to determine if he were eligible to run for President, but completely out of the question for Barack Obama.

I think it's the key to the whole Obama eligibility issue.

Arthur's father was born in Ireland--I don't know if he had become a naturalized citizen of the US. Chester Arthur was supposedly born in Vermont near the Canadian border, but some people claimed he was born across the border in Quebec (where his parents had lived earlier).

Woodrow Wilson was born in Virginia but his mother was born in England--I don't know if she was a naturalized citizen (she lived in the US from the age of 4).

My guess is that Obama's birthplace shows him as born in Hawaii, but that there is other information on the form that he doesn't want the public to know.

In the last sentence I meant to write “birth certificate” not “birthplace.”

That would be because John McCain was never subjected to Congressional hearings to determine if he was eligible. There was a non-binding resolution, and a single question at a Homeland Security hearing that McCain wasn't part of. McCain was never subjected to anything.

Two things: We shouldn't have to guess what the original birth records say, and the original birth records do not prove Obama was born in Hawaii.

Whoa ...! And loaded for bear, too . .. with all the obot talking points. Slick.

Notice the sign-up date???? 11/5/10. Comes in newly signed-up; gravitates IMMEDIATELY to the birther issue and starts hammering all the anti-birther talking points we've all seen until we're nauseous.

Pretty slick indeed. The White House must be sweating. Now they've started hiring new trolls even after the wipe out election.

If the original birth records don’t prove where someone was born, why bother with them? Are you saying officials can be bribed to put the information on the document that the bribe-giver wants?

Fascinating indeed. Nope. Again, just because I’m not a birther doesn’t mean I’m not a conservative. It’s quite possible to be liberal yet be a birther too: See Philip Berg for proof on that— big Clinton supporter.

And what type of information would that be? Everyone already knows that his birth was illegitimate.

Barack's mother was not married when he was conceived but I think most people believe that she married Barack's father several months before Barack Jr. was born. Of course the father already had a wife in Kenya, but if that makes Jr. illegitimate, Bill Clinton was also illegitimate, since his father was still married to someone else when he married Bill's mother.

If Barack was officially adopted by his stepfather, would that have been entered on the original birth certificate? He may have acquired Indonesian citizenship without ever taking steps to regain US citizenship.

"Barry is going to sit on the long form for as long as he can. He loves the publicity this is getting him. And he’ll whip out the long form in the last week of October of 2012, with the birthplace of Honolulu printed on it. He’s going to milk the birther stuff for as long as he absolutely can, until it’s at saturation point. "

===================================================

Your crystal ball into the future is really amazing and impressive and I'm quite certain you can pick lotto numbers far in advance and you are probably a retread too.

Or are you paid to post here?

Not disputing anti-birthers can be conservatives. What I am disputing is that you are anything but a troll. You’re not only a troll you’re not even a very good one, so spare me the diatribes.

A decent troll worth his paycheck would have at least spent a few days getting the lay of the land, perhaps even posting a bit on other threads just to sound like he might be a good conservative, before diving into the birther threads to regurgitate the same old tired arguments we’ve already heard and debunked over the past 2 years. You’re so obvious that its laughable, really.

Goodbye. Folks pay attention......this poser signed up FOUR DAYS ago and IMMEDIATELY begins to regurgitate Obama talking points...........

I have no clue what you're talking about. I've never heard Obama make any talking points on this issue -- he is getting a huge kick out of it most likely. Why wouldn't he want it front and center?

As for your ridiculous argument that I signed up just to post anti-birther crap and that I started doing it right away... that's patently untrue. Look back at my posting history. I made at least a few dozen responses, and my first time posting on the birther issue was yesterday.

You don’t acquire Indonesian citizenship at birth by virtue of adoption, but you do acquire U.S. citizenship at the moment of birth if you are born in this country.

This is the stupidest part... They are saying that The Constitution REQUIRES him to be a NBC, but no one asked him because the constitution didnt say WHOSE JOB IT WAS to ask him????

Sounds like a union employee "not my job"

...geez... some one should have.

No, I'm saying the information originally filed in 1961 for Barack Obama was insufficient to prove he was born in Hawaii, most likely because it lacked a doctor's signature or other necessary information.
