Supremes facing eligibility challenge to Obama, again

This particular case has had a long proceeding; it began as a challenge to the legality of the military orders under Obama, whose eligibility to hold the office of president never has been documented to date. While that officer, Capt. Connie Rhodes, ultimately followed her orders, the attorney was fined $20,000 in the case, and it continued its path through the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals and now is pending in Washington.

"Congress should have addressed when asked by 100s of thousands of constituent letters and petitions sent to them and when constitutionally it was required to [do] so under the 20th Amendment. It didn't," he continued. "Everyone in our system of government chose ignoring the problem and appeasement over confrontation and punted the ball to someone else.

McCain had to go through the Senate to be declared a natural born citizen, and there are many who don't believe he was. The law is blurry... but...

...it seems the Obama citizenship question isn't going away, and if some states have their way, he will have to produce the evidence they believe is lacking before the next election.

And the moon landing question won't go away. Just because a question is stupid doesn't mean people won't stop asking it.

And it shouldn't go away. As a great man once said, "Trust, but verify."

In my opinion, Obama is a citizen of the United States. Having said that, I think it is absolutely ridiculous that there isn't a formal process to vet the eligibility of any candidate running for any office in Congress, The White House, and the Supreme Court.

Trust but verify, indeed.
 
The fact that this will not go away is a testimonial to the many nut jobs out there who are politically unbalanced and deranged.
 
I just rean unsuccessfully for US Congress in Texas. Honestly, I do not recall anything I had to sign that stated my eligibility vis a vis my citizenship

Howdy I'm over here in Dallas.
 
Well, with any luck the Supreme Court will decide that public statements given by Hawaiian state officials (including the director of the Department of Health) is verification enough under Article IV, Section 1.

Nothing? Maybe they verify after a win? Doesn't seem right to me.

Here is the Federal (FEC) Guide for candidates it deals primarily with funding laws http://fec.gov/pdf/candgui.pdf

On The State Side this shows the qualifications for all officesQualifications for Office

And now that I looked it all up again, in my Texas State Statement of Candidacy I did attest to this statement:

"Before me, the undersigned authority, on this day personally appeared (name) _________________________________________, who being by me here and now duly sworn, upon oath says: “I, (name)________________________________________, of _____________________________ County, Texas, being a candidate for the office of ______________________________________________________, swear that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States and of the State of Texas. I am a citizen of the United States eligible to hold such office under the Constitution and laws of this state. I have not been finally convicted of a felony for which I have not been pardoned or had my full rights of citizenship restored by other official action. I have not been determined by a final judgment of a court exercising probate jurisdiction to be totally mentally incapacitated or partially mentally incapacitated without the right to vote. I am aware of the nepotism law, Chapter 573, Government Code. I further swear that the foregoing statements included in my application are in all things true and correct.” " http://www.sos.state.tx.us/elections/forms/a2-8.pdf

But never had to show any proof, just sign the form and gather the signatures to become a write-in candidate

You are a complete moron if you think the NSA, CIA, FBI, DoD and every other major national defense organization that handles classified information has not verified Obama's background.

When our reading of the letter of the law supports our cause, we're all about the rule of law and all the little technicalities that strengthen our position without changing a damn thing about the reality of the situation.

When our reading of the letter of the law opposes our cause, we're all about the spirit of the law and all the little things this or that important person has said that strengthen our position without changing a damn thing about the reality of the situation.

Why is the crux of the matter so often completely removed from the reality of the situation?
 
Obama's citizenship has been verified.

It staggers me how many people still don't know this.

I felt the same way about the nonsense that Bush was AWOL even though he had an honorable discharge from the military
 
Daily Fail is the worst of them all. It's literally a tabloid but people will link to them as a legitimate news source.

Equating the two is an exercise in lunacy. It is like comparing a mountain to an anthill and claiming that they both are similar.

Google the following two phrases
IA OBAMA AN AMERICAN

GEORGE BUSH WEST AWOL

Now compare the number of articles for each.

I can save you the trouble - the Obama query registers 235,000,000 while the Bush query barely compares at less than one half of one percent of that at 110,000.

I know, I know... its a bitch when reality gets in the way of ideology.

well since the military prosecutes AWOL and and awards honorable discharges the fact that BUsh was given the latter pretty much establishes he was not guilty of the former. How much of the main stream press questioned Bush about AWOL before he won the election versus members of the MSM who questioned Obama's rather evasive dealings with where he was born?
