Two members of Congress have begun to express doubts about Barack Obama's eligibility in statements that constituents have forwarded to WND, including one from Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., who said, "Any circumvention of these constitutional requirements would be a slap in the face to the rule of law and our very democracy."
The second comment came from Rep. Blake Farenthold, R-Texas, who told a constituent that it appears the courts should be resolving the issue, not Congress, but he wonders what claims can be brought to Obama's doorstep.
The comments suggest that members of Congress are breaking away from recommendations from the Congressional Research Service on how to dismiss such questions.
WND reported earlier how Jerry W. Mansfield, an information research specialist in the Knowledge Services Group of the CRS, issued a memo to prepare members of Congress to rebut and defuse questions constituents were asking regarding Obama's presidential eligibility under the natural-born citizen requirement of the Constitution.
WND has posted the CRS memo on Scribd.com for download.
Attached to the memo was an attack piece published by FactCheck.org to dismiss claims that Obama's short-form Certification of Live Birth, originally published during the 2008 presidential campaign by DailyKos.com, was a forgery.
When Obama released an image of a Hawaiian "Certificate of Live Birth" on April 27, after years of stating that the document was not available, the Hawaii's Department of Health and governor's office refused to confirm for WND that the image released was an accurate representation of the state's records.
