I think he has gotten a bit rattled from rocking out so much  

On CNN last night, they said that this whole thing is just silly and he's the president, so he shouldn't have to produce a birth certificate. The guy defending B.O. just kept repeating that "He's the president." Like it shouldn't matter because he has the office now.

Then the other guy said that they were willing to make it a requirement of FUTURE candidates for presidency to provide a certified copy of their birth certificates. But, he did point out that when McCain was asked for his, he produced it without a hitch. Still, since he also repeated himself, I believe that at this point, B.O. is off the hook and it will only be required of future candidates to provide a valid, certified birth certificate.

Sounds like the term "ineligible" is destined to be stigmatized like the term "illegal" has been in the case of illegal immigrants?

I think so too. I really do. Let's just hope it pans out that way.

What I have read is that Obama’s claim to being born in Hawaii is based on the fact that Hawaii will issue a "Certificate of Live Birth" for a foreign born infant that arrives in the state before it is one year old. But that is different from an actual Birth Certificate certifying when, what hospital, and all the rest. Thus IMHO it is possible that he is not a natural-born U.S. citizen or he would have an actual Birth Certificate.

I believe the Constitution's provisions are very simple for qualifying for president of the United States: (1) be over 35 (2) be in the country 14 years (3) be a natural-born citizen.

Perhaps there is some confusion because the US laws at the time of Obama’s birth stated that if a child is born abroad and one parent was a US citizen (his mom) who had lived 10 years in the US with 5 of those years after the age of 14, the child would be a US citizen (but not a ‘natural born’ US citizen).  But Obama’s mother was only 18 when she gave birth to him therefore she could not have even met the requirements of living in the US for 5 years after age 14. I have also heard that his Grandmother said she was in the delivery room in Kenya when he was born.

As far as the Naturalization Act of 1790, perhaps the key words are "children of citizens", I don't think his father was a US citizen. I think if Obama had been able to have acquired a Birth Certificate as natural born Citizen do to this act that he or his mother at the time of his birth would have and this thread would not exist. :-)

IMHO, if he were a natural-born U.S. citizen, he would have proven it a long time ago, so far all he has been able to produce is his "Certificate of Live Birth".  I just hope that Judge Carter is allowed, can and will follow through with this order so that we all learn the truth once and for all, what ever it may be.  

Hope you all have a bless day!

You want the evidence listed AGAIN as to what exactly? Obama's citizenship being in question and him refusing to provide a birth certificate? Or on the money he's spent blocking it from being shown to a judge? How many times does it have to be listed? It's listed many times in the political forum and is everywhere. Here's a video that mentions some of it regarding him hiding his birth certificate. Here's a link about the money he's spent hiding it that shows FEC records. Whether you want to dismiss it because you don't like it is up to you.



And concerning being a natural born citizen:

The 14th Amendment defines citizenship this way: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." But even this does not get specific enough. As usual, the Constitution provides the framework for the law, but it is the law that fills in the gaps.

Currently, Title 8 of the U.S. Code fills in those gaps. Section 1401 defines the following people as "citizens of the United States at birth:"

    * Anyone born inside the United States *
    * Any Indian or Eskimo born in the United States, provided being a citizen of the U.S. does not impair the person's status as a citizen of the tribe
    * Any one born outside the United States, both of whose parents are citizens of the U.S., as long as one parent has lived in the U.S.
    * Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is a citizen and lived in the U.S. for at least one year and the other parent is a U.S. national
    * Any one born in a U.S. possession, if one parent is a citizen and lived in the U.S. for at least one year
    * Any one found in the U.S. under the age of five, whose parentage cannot be determined, as long as proof of non-citizenship is not provided by age 21
    * Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is an alien and as long as the other parent is a citizen of the U.S. who lived in the U.S. for at least five years (with military and diplomatic service included in this time)
    * A final, historical condition: a person born before 5/24/1934 of an alien father and a U.S. citizen mother who has lived in the U.S.          Source

So there we go. If Obama was born in Kenya then he wouldn't qualify because his dad was not a citizen and was only here to go to school.

We all know that if a Republican were refusing to show his birth certificate to a federal judge that liberals would be saying he's hiding something too. It's just simple logic. Why liberals defend Obama refusing to show his birth certificate is just stunning. If he's got nothing to hide and is eligible then what's he got to hide?

And no, someone in Hawaii saying that they saw his birth certificate and then locking it up and refusing to let anyone else see it or even a copy is NOT proof. Obama wanted McCain to prove it and he provided vaulted birth certificate, passports and other records within 48 hours. Then hypocrite Obama more than a year later still refuses to do the same. The question is why and pretending like that's not a valid question shows obvious and shocking intellectual dishonesty.

What lee quoted is not in error.  It states that or governmental service may be counted as part of the required 5 years of residence for the natural born citizen parent, which is what the law states.  You are in error about there being an error.

Try again.

And if he wasn't, Hillary Clinton would have proven it a long time ago.
