Nathan Deal calls on Obama to produce birth certificate proving he's eligible for presidency

November 18, 2009

It's the question that keeps poking its head up through piles of debunking documents: Is Barack Obama eligible to be president?

U.S. Rep. Nathan Deal says Obama can dispel it with a birth certificate showing he's a U.S. native and therefore qualified for the White House.

Deal avoids birth issue

Back when he was still a congressman aspiring to be governor, Nathan Deal asked about President Barack Obama’s birth certificate while some questioned whether Obama was born on U.S. soil.

So on the eve of his first visit with Obama as Georgia’s Republican governor-elect last week, I asked Deal if he planned to bring up issue with Obama, and/or if he thought it would chill the meeting or his relationship with the president.

“No, and no,” he replied. Later, Deal described the meeting between Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and other White House officials and about 25 newly elected governors as “very amicable.”

Nathan Deal was my Rep in Washington. Once he made this public statement his politcal opposition came out of the woodwork to smear him with ethics charges. As the new Governor, I am confident he will sign any legislation the State of Georgia is able to push through requiring all Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates to verify that they meet constutional eligbility.
