INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - Questions about President Barack Obama's birth certificate continue to make news as Sarah Palin, Donald Trump and others question the his citizenship. Now the so-called "birther" issue will be the subject of a vote at the Indiana Statehouse, and Donald Trump has weighed in on what's going on here. A committee in the state Senate will vote Monday on a birther resolution.
State Sen. Mike Delph (R-Carmel) is a proponent of the birther movement. He wants proof pf American citizenship required for candidates for president, and he points to his pocket copy of the Constitution for support.
The continuing attention to the issue causes former state Democratic Chairman Kip Tew to react emotionally.
"You can go online and see Barack Obama's birth certificate," Tew said. "It's the most insane nonsense I've been involved in in politics."
An online search will turn up multiple sources with copies of the certificate of live birth for Obama from Hawaii, where he was born on Aug. 4, 1961.
But these modern, computer-generated copies, issued by the state of Hawaii after the initial fervor, are not enough for Donald Trump.
"If he has a birth certificate, he should release it," Trump told an interviewer, "but don't tell me about some long-form certificate of live birth, because it's a much lower standard."
Trump returned phone call from Delph to express support for the resolution Delph sponsored.

What’s insane is the coverup.
The constitution is “NOT” an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it “IS” an instrument for the people to restrain the government!

“where he was born on Aug. 4, 1961.” You state this as FACT, but where is your proof? You just saying so, doesn't make it so. As a journalist, while there currently is no proof (long form birth certificate) you should not make pronouncements you can't back up with proof.
1. This is what is so sad about it: After the Nov. 2012 presidential election is over, states will be rushing to pass presidential eligibility laws in preparation for the Obama-less 2016 presidential elections and beyond, such as elections in 2020, 2024, 2028, and nobody will put up a fight to stop the law or care whether the law is passed or not, because if Obama wins re-election, he won't be eligible to run again, and so lawmakers can confidently say to the public that the law is not being passed specifically to attack Obama.
2. My prediction: I predict that soon after the 2012 election and before the 2016 presidential elections, EVERY state will have a presidential eligibility law in effect, and I bet that most of those laws will look pretty close to the presidential eligibility bill that Arizona Gov. Brewer recently vetoed.
3. I can't believe that state lawmakers won't go ahead and pass presidential eligibility laws before the 2012 presidential elections, when they know in their hearts that once the 2012 presidential election is over, they will rush to pass presidential eligibility laws so that an Obama-type long form birth certificate circus never happens again beginning with the 2016 presidential election.
4. Yes, it so sad to say but it looks like cowardly state lawmakers will wait until AFTER the 2012 presidential election is over to step up to the plate and be counted by passing a long-needed presidential eligibility law, a law that will probably look like the Arizona bill recently vetoed by the coward Governor Brewer of Arizona.
I’m having the that very fight on youboob right now; certification vs. certificate.
I know they get it, they just want to lie. It’s pathetic. They look stupid as they play stupid.
too bad your comment is too long for a tagline....

These leftwingers must think we are stupid. A real birth certificate has 1. Name of Parents and 2. Name of Hospital.
Both are missing from the “Certification of Live Birth” Obama minions are passing around.
Can you spell CYA???

Donald Trump is a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN unlike Comrade Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama.
“Coverup.” Not only the birth certitificate but many documents relating to his life and career.
Question........is trump a tool in the clinton arsenal and one again we are being played. All in line for the coronation of the queen to save us from ourselves. Heard Trump close family member got high position job in the justice dept during the Clinton reign. true?
Of course, that is assuming we have elections in 2012 or 2016.
No doubt, the new and improved ACORN and its' union comrades will stop at nothing to insure Imam Obozo is "re-elected". If he is, the chnaces of any future elections becomes iffy at best.
Thanks bitt. Wake me when Trump puts as much effort into supporting state-by-state nullification of Obamacare.
It’s not a “Birther” bill. It is an “eligibility” bill.
