[April Lexington]

It may be remote but the Constitution says the person must be qualified to be president. Either the electoral college process or Congress has an obligation to verify the qualifications of the person who will be sworn in as president. This is obviously a case of first impression. The left would be all over this and motions for injunctive relief would be flying. The Republicans don;t have the balls to fight at this level. They would rather have their votes stolen and an illegitimate candidate sworn in than fight to assure the law is upheld. That, folks, is why we are in the minority. No balls.

The Governor of Hawaii, Linda Lingle is a Republican, she endorsed John McCain for President, campaigned on McCain’s behalf and said that she considers Barack Obama unqualified to be President of the United States, yet on the issue of Barack Obama’s birth certificate, the Lingle administration
has already declared Obama’s original long form birth certificate to be genuine.

According to an Associated Press report State officials saud there’s no doubt Barack Obama was born in Hawaii.

Health Department Director Dr. Chiyome Fukino said that she and the registrar of vital statistics, Alvin Onaka, had personally verified that the health department holds Obama’s original birth certificate.

Fukino says that no state official, including Governor Lingle had ever instructed that Obama’s certificate be handled any differently from any other Hawaii Vital Record.

She said that state law bars release of a certified birth certificate to anyone who does not have a tangible interest.

A southwest Ohio magistrate has rejected a challenge to Obama’s citizenship. Judges in Seattle and Philadelphia recently dismissed similar suits.
