I’ve also read that state/federal elected officials get special passports issued by the State Dept, that would not necessarily vet their citizenship. Do you know that to be true?

He may have had a whole new passport issued upon his election to IL office, bereft of any of his previous travels.

Obama received a new maroon passport (identifies U.S. government officials) to replace his blue tourist passport in 2005 when he went to Russia with Senator Lugar.

I found that statement in a newspaper article and published it here a couple of months ago in an article I posted - you can access the original article from my post if you need it.

I was unable to determine if his passport was replaced at his 2005 Senator’s orientation in D.C. or as a result of his first trip overseas as a U.S. official.

The article does mention passport stamps from all over Europe and most of Asia.

Shouldn't this be simple with a FOIA? But it is not. I have not heard this myself but it makes sense. Those in charge assumed Obama have been vetted then why not? Obama had used false documentation for so many years no one questioned him.

So we need to ask the right people how passports are done for elected officials.

Like it matters, right? Everyone is so in the tank for Obama he could find anything that would take down most politicians and the socialists would say it is a blip in the scheme of things. Makes me......nevermind!
