it doesn't seem to be mentioned in the ny times article you cited, so maybe it happened after that date, but the question of john mccain's eligibility was brought up in congress and they voted that he was eligible. i believe obama was there at the time. it is odd that they didn't do a similar discussion of obama's situation followed by a vote. that would have at least resolved the birth certificate issue.
maybe not so odd in hindsight. this president has done everthing possible to factionalize this country. from partisanship to race, he and his contingent does everything to divide and inflame. there was nothing wrong with raising the question of eligibility when it was originally raised: before obama was the party candidate. the press should have but didn't. but now the very question--and remember that issue involves far more than his place of birth--has been reduced to a single word expressing contempt: birther. once that word is uttered, no part of the issue is worth discussion. great way to silence those with inquiring minds

it wasn't brought up, therefore not discussed. interesting, don't you think? why wouldn't they have wanted to discuss obama's birth certificate?

simply do as they did regarding McCain's eligibiilty: look at the facts surrounding his birth and vote on whether or not they considered him "natural born" and therefore eligible to be president.

you are correct in the sense that that resolution in congress was not the same as the court deciding on mccain's eligibility. it does seem odd though that they didn't address obama's issues at the same time, particularly since the resolution was led by democrats in congress.

Adams, who was in a position to know, emphatically states in the brief interview that Obama was not born in Hawaii.
