OK, I confess, the title is a bit misleading.
It should read Obama And His Lack Of A Birth Certificate Is About To Make History.
Yesterday, World Net Daily broke the story of Army Major Stefan Cook, who argued that he should not have to deploy to Afghanistan because President Obama has not proven that he is a natural-born citizen, therefore he is unable to serve as Commander-In-Chief.
This is something that will receive little, if any, coverage from the mainstream media.
However, the fact that the U.S. Army revoked the orders of a soldier about to be sent overseas based wholly upon such a claim is unprecedented.
This controversy over Obama’s failure to produce a valid birth certificate has been an ongoing saga.
And all calls for him to do so have either been belittled or ignored by the White House. Which may lead some folks to suspect that the reason he doesn’t simply produce the blasted thing and put this story to rest once and for all is because he doesn’t have one!
About the only attention we have seen regarding this issue was the presentation of a “Certificate Of Live Birth” supposedly issued by the State of Hawaii.
This proves less than nothing, as first, to look at it you would think that a 12-year old made it on their home computer, and secondly is the fact that a child does not have to be born in Hawaii in order for the state to issue such a document to the child’s parents.
Even if this document is legitimate, it is a far cry from an actual birth certificate, and it surely is not proof of where Obama was actually born.
However , there are literally thousands of articles and opinions floating around about Obama’s birth certificate, or lack therof, and I don’t want to bore you with re-visiting the same stories.
Rather, I would like to expound on my claim that Obama’s lack of a birth certificate will make history. Consider the following:
If indeed it is proven that Obama is not a natural born U.S. citizen, and therefore is unable to serve as President, he will not be remembered as America’s first black President, rather history will remember him as the man who was the cause of the biggest Constitutional crisis this country has ever seen!
The question will be raised of what will happen to other troops deployed by Obama, and the troops already serving under orders from an ineligible commander in chief.
Every piece of legislation that Obama has signed since taking office would now be considered under law to be null and void.
Imagine what this would mean to the stock market, financial institutions, the auto industry, as well as every other facet of the American economy.
Not to mention, the people who already accuse the president’s critics of being racists will no doubt try to use this as their proof and stoke racial tensions to the point of riot.
Every appointment he has made, regardless if it was an appointment as a “Czar’, or a Cabinet-level position, would have to be overturned, and it would become the duty of the Vice-President to re-fill those positions.
Which leads to perhaps the most intriguing scenario of all.
The Constitution states that if the President is unable to serve, the Vice-President shall assume the duties of the office.
However, if the man who chose you to be his running mate was found to have been elected to the office in violation of Constitutional law, where does that leave you Mr. Biden?
After all, we (well, some of you poor misguided individuals) voted for the two of you as a team running on the same ticket.
So if it is found that the man who picked you to be his running mate did so in direct violation of federal law, doesn’t it follow that you were also elected to the Vice-Presidency under false pretenses?
Barack Obama. CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN!
When the U.S. military accepts the claim of a soldier that the man posing as Commander-In-Chief has failed to produce his eligibility to hold that title, we may be on the verge of seeing change beyond belief.
Is this true?
This is called an emotional argument.
The concept of a Natural Born was created expressly for describing the qualification of who is eligible to be POTUS. This is someone who has no direct foreign allegiances, ie a parent who is a citizen of another country. If your daughter's mother was an American Citizen at the time of her birth she would be considered Natural Born for the purpose of eligibility for being President. There are many ways to be a citizen by birth, but all of these rely on Congressional action to define who is and who is not eligible and this definition has changed over the years. Obama may or may not meet this definition because of the definition that was operative at the time and the age of his mother at the time. This is another debate entirely. But, a Natural Born is above these questions because there can be no question of their citizenship, which was the point in the first place.

Alexander Haig was in the Army during Watergate. The incident you're referring to happened when he was Secretary of State under Reagan, and in the immediate aftermath of Reagan being shot. He was telling the press he was in charge of the local situation, NOT usurping the authority of the Vice President as the press made it out to be.
Ben Laden could come in and run for POTUS.
(The Libs would probably love that.}
“I also believe that Haig only meant that he was in charge at the White House at that time”
You are right, this was a media generated controversy fueled by their hysteria. “Buckwheat Got Shot”, a SNL skit based on the Reagan assignation attempt, was the funniest thing they have done.
Yes. In fact, his sister, maya sotoreo, also has a Hawaiian birth certificate, even tho she was born in Indonesia.
Hence the controversy about McCain's birth and the scrutiny that it received. McCain was born of two Americans his father being in the Military, and he immediately released his birth certificate when the issue came up. Congress saw fit to pass a resolution stating that he met the Natural Born test but as it were, this was not a law and I don't know if it would be Constitutionally sound.
With deeper scrutiny it was found that McCain was born in Panama not on in the Canal Zone making him a dual citizen. This issue never came to a head because he lost.
Fruit of a tainted tree. The election was for a ticket (Obama and Biden) that was not a legal ticket.
So the “remidies” fall into three categories:
1) Vote stands as is and Biden takes over as VP (in my opinion the most likely scenario)
2) Votes for Obama / Biden are ruled as fraudulent and therefor are thrown out. That would make McCain/Palin the winner of the election (unlikely scenario)
3) Entire election is thrown out and we have Pelosi as temp President until a new election can be held (least likely scenario, but one that would play into Palin’s election chances)
That was when Reagan was shot.
Without Dr. Orly’s bulldog persistence, none of this would have been possible.
Let me help you with that key LOL
Glad to see someone else agrees with my take on the Haig comment that morning.
I have no clue, but wouldn’t the Congress be the likely bunch to decide it?
And if so...they’d probably pick Biden.
At question, is the linkage of the “ticket”. Is it Obama then Biden or is it Obama and Biden. Does “fraud” for one taint the other? Under established contract law and criminal law, the answer would be yes - Biden is also tainted.
On this issue, the Constitution is silent. It is also one of the reasons I would prefer the VP be elected as well.
“For some reason I thought that Cook was included in the case before Carter. Evidently he is not.”
Is Carter the judge in the case in GA?
If so, you’re right...but that was an issue whether Hussin is CIC and if not then Cook should not be deployed to Afghanistan and since Cook’s orders were revoked, the judge in GA dismissed the case.
“The oath also states “that I will obey the orders of the President..”
NO. Only enlisted members have THAT sentence in the oath.
The officers’ oath is ONLY to the Constitution.
Except that McCain did not qualify. He did not receive the necessary majority of the electoral votes. So even if your wild scenario is valid then the matter goes to Congress. More likely is that if Biden and Obama are declared ineligible then Pelosi is it.
I was born in Hawaii - and yes that is true. Not to mention the fact that if born at “home” then all you needed was a witness signature. He could have been born on the moon and still gotten a COLB in Hawaii.
Yea, I really was born in Honolulu in 1969, and I have my long form Cert. of Birth. Which is actually rather short, not even a full 8x11 page long, maybe 1/3rd of that.
The judge found that since his orders over seas were cancelled, he obtained his request and there is no case to be heard.
