Rep. Bill Posey, a freshman Republican from Florida, introduced a bill yesterday mirroring proposed state legislation in Missouri and elsewhere that stems from fringe doubts about Obama's eligibility for office.
The full bill text isn't yet available, and Posey's spokesman didn't immediately respond to a request for comment, but here's a summary:
H.R. 1503. A bill to amend the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to require the principal campaign committee of a candidate for election to the office of President to include with the committee's statement of organization a copy of the candidate's birth certificate, together with such other documentation as may be necessary to establish that the candidate meets the qualifications for eligibility to the Office of President under the Constitution; to the Committee on House Administration.
Though Posey's spokesman wasn't available, a Feb. 13 letter from Posey to a constituent on the subject appears on a website pushing the story in which Posey noted that courts and Hawaii officials had rejected the claims, but didn't state his own view on the subject.

Thanks for the ping, lj. Here are some of my thoughts.
a surreptitious agenda, which one can infer is nationalist socialism.
***Yup. That’s why I called Obama a National Socialist back in October.
Obama is a National Socialist

Thus we have so many Obama operatives now posting on the issue here on FR, to subvert that effort and marginalize it. Their presence has been welcomed, because in the final analysis, the inquiring minds of FR always win such issues. Jim Robinson knew this, and that is why he has allowed their presence, welcomed it,which was a very intelligent move on his part.
***I disagree here, that it was intelligent to allow such operatives to subvert the effort. Jesus said that a house divided cannot stand. And He was right.
And so now, tens of thousands witness on Free Republic their solipsist effort,
***What does that mean?
I share your views on Obama;s fascism, and both Freeper Fred Nerks and I predate you in that conclusion, we were yelling it from the battlements since March of 2008.
Of course reading Jonah Goldbergs "Liberal Fascism" helped, as well as analyzing Obamas work in Kenya 2006/2007, where his nationalist socialist neo-colonial Chicago Black Power politics were on display for all to see, resulting in intertribal genocide in the streets of Nairobi and elsewhere in Kenya's Rift Valley.
I do not believe that Obabots divided us, they united us, and made us not give up.
obumpa
The Dems had a hearing, did some stuff. I don’t think any laws were passed???
from the link:
A group of lawmakers made an unsuccessful effort four years ago to eliminate any lingering doubts about the meaning of the provision through legislation that would have said children born outside the country to American citizens are eligible for the presidency.
McCaskill said that her legislation should be noncontroversial and that Congress should move rapidly to clear up any ambiguity. She acknowledged there could be some who believe the only route to resolve the confusion is through a Constitutional amendment.
“We can at least make a legislative declaration that the definition of ‘natural born’ includes children of the active military,” she said. “This should be done quickly and easily.”
Bookmark.
That’s where we differ, Kansas. It is equally rational to assume that allegiance-in-birth and jurisdiction-in-birth combined define “natural born”. And there is historic precedent documented sufficient not only to support this position but to deem it as *declaratory*, a legal term, in my mind and in numerous others. That is why it is imperative that the legislature and court systems not shirk their responsibility yet again in this matter. What was common sense in the days of Washington is no longer the case today. We can at least agree that the “birther bill” is a much needed step in the right direction. Yes?
YES!
And, I want as many states as possible to so the same thing.
Each statute, each law, will give us more avenues in Court, as well.
His father wasn’t a citizen - his allegiance was to Kenya, which is where he returned to with his US education. So Obama wasn’t born of parents not owing any other allegiance...
On the point of foreign allegiance, you and I are in complete agreement.
