State Rep. Mark Hatfield, R-Waycross, just handed me a copy of his new bill, HB 401, which would require President Barack Obama to provide certified proof of his birth to the Georgia secretary of state in order to appear on next years presidential primary and general election ballots.
The bill has the signatures of 94 members of the 180-member House, including that of one Democrat, Glenn Baker of Jonesboro.
The measure will get its first hearing on Wednesday. Read the bill here.
If youre a member of the Georgia Ports Authority or Georgia Chamber of Commerce, still attempting to persuade the White House to add a few zeros to that appropriation for the dredging of the Port of Savannah, this is your cue to cut loose an animal howl of frustration.
At minimum, the bill will make for some interesting chatter when the national press comes down to hear Newt Gingrichs announcement that hes exploring a GOP run for president.
Hatfield attempted similar legislation last year. From my AJC colleague April Hunt:
I think the issue with our sitting president has been left unresolved for a significant length of time that people have concerns, Hatfield said. But this is not just about our current president. Its about enforcing the constitutional provisions for anyone who seeks the office of presidency.
Hatfields bill would require certified copies of the candidates first original long-form birth certificate. Documentation as provided by Hawaii, which has insisted time and time again that Obama was born there, would not suffice, Hatfield said.....

You really are pushing the envelope on finding why the documents are not shown to comply with the new state laws, if enacted.
Did you forget that 0b0z0, by his lonesome, can order said documents submitted almost immediately?
Right...one step at a time. Get Obama to officially show his cards or lack of thereof- a bluff.
Obama will be conspicuous in his absence of such behavior.
As would you or I if we were running for that office. It isn’t aimed at any single individual. Why should you and I need to provide documentation to get on a plane, become a security guard, get a job, etc., but the most important job in the world is exempt?!
BUMP
Are you an Obama-bot?
Did you even read the article?
“The courts are not going to do it.” So who said anything about the courts?
Current polls show Obama would win today over anyone. Even Palin. And you’re OK with that?
Yep, this is why I figured two years ago that he wouldnt be running!
The Klintoons probably gave him one term and that’s why he doesn’t give a crap about his non-existent papers!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
So?...What about the 2010 election? Hm? Did the Republican house cleaning on every level happen by accident?
Your statement above is a stawman of **your** creation. The 2010 election is proof positive that conservatives are fully capable of chewing gum and walking at the same time. They aren't "dwelling" on birth certificate alone.
We need to evict him at the ballot box.
This is another stawman of your creation.
This is NOT about evicting Obama from the White House. It **is** about defending the Constitution and rule of law. If it is found that Obama is a natural born citizen then he has every right to be there.
“but the most important job in the world is exempt?!”
I want to Arrrnooold run and then slam Obama. He should claim he is a US citizen and dare anyone to prove otherwise. If they try, anything they use against him he simply needs to challenge Obama to produce the same information.
Post 46 applies to you too.
I saw that story. Either that, or some OBot is attempting to mitigate the damage for Obama by deleting the Conn SS number from the database. So to keep the public in the dark about who was initially issued the SSN.
“its a Catch 22. Any state where this would pass is a state Obama wouldnt win anyway. This bill wont make any difference in the 2012 election.”
No, what it will do is introduce a reasonable doubt to a number of the people who voted for him in 2008. Really, if Obama won’t come up with a $12 copy of his birth certificate in order to be on a given state’s ballot - and if that birth certificate is allegedly supposed to demonstrate something he already asserts - then why not do it?
A lot of Democrats will be stuck wondering what he’s hiding and they can be expected to stay home on election day. Frankly, if it appears he’s African then there’s a kind of American-black bigotry that will come into play as more than a few American blacks have issues with African blacks.
He wouldn't mind if you spell it differently, Faggy Bottom that is!
>His original long form BC was sealed by Court order after the Soetoro adoption and is of no legal value.
It doesn’t matter if it is of “legal” value to some bunch of lawyers.
If it is significance to the State of Georgia, then that is what matters here.
A State may choose the way in which it sends Electors to the convention, how it sets up it’s requirements for election, or even if it WILL hold an elections for same.
The electors can be selected by the State, and thats the way it is.
Bull doots! After two years under this illegal alien marxist I'm not so sure we will survive two more years of takeover by the federales. In case you hadn't noticed, he hasn't even slowed down; he's hit the gas instead. The Pubbies in the House might be a speed bump but nothing more I'm afraid
The courts are not going to do it.
This isn't about the courts, it's about the States laying down the law re candidates' eligibility to be on their ballot for the offices of president and vice president. The States have every right to set the requirements necessary to determine who is and who is not qualified.
Since when is learning all the facts wrong? The legitimacy question, from what I understand, is much bigger than just the birth certificate and finding out if he is not eligible does so much more for this country and this party than just voting him out.
If he is not eligible then every piece of legislation signed, every appointment he made including supreme court, every Executive order is null and void. No long years of piece by piece deconstructing what parts can taken down of the crap he and the dems have accomplished...nope one fell swoop all are not legitimate.
And lets not forget they years of damage done to the dem party the republicans can dine off of like the dems did with Watergate.
The long term political fall out is well worth showing all the ways this guy is not legitimate for the presidency. So let the birthers go for it...just look at how many question his eligibility and thus his every move now because of them. The polls show that number growing not lessening.
More power to them.
1) Uh, yeah, people have MAJOR concerns. It's been sitting around far toooooo long.
2) Something should be done about our current usurper.
3) Yes, it's about time the US Constitution was followed and enforced.
Yeah, who cares about that "rule of law" thingy anyway when manipulating public opinion is all that matters? Sheesh.
The birth certificate is a red herring. Barack Obama is admittedly and incontrovertibly not a Natural Born Citizen per Constitutional metrics because his father was a British Subject.
But who cares what the law says when what we want to to mean, today, is all that matters? If we don't like it, we can opine some other way. After all, putting the media in charge of the republic and all private property is what we want... isn't it?
“respectfully - youre wrong”
You’re right. Time for Barry to cough up the long form.
