true, at least Not proven it to this voting American
but the 'natural born' stipulation still stands and with Real ID in effect, there is no better or other method employed or currently being applied in any US territory.
we are requesting Proof of an outstanding claim ... that Obama is a natural born citizen of America with loyalties to No other country, government, establishment or entity. As the Constitution requires.
it proves nothing more than a birth was Registered in Hawai'i, and that's only if the presented document is authentic
NO ONE has confirmed or proven or even hinted that Obama was born on any Hawaiian island or any American territory

you know what's funny about your posts?? that you might actually believe it !!!
Panama and every other US military installation is universally considered US territory ... nice try though ...
No it does not, another truther lie!
But as Obama is black, nothing he does will prove it to you!
And by showing his birth certificate Obama has shown he was naturally born in the USA
another birther lie, it shows he was born in Hawaii, but again you ignore that.
-- source please. i have examined the offering provided to the public then, and, i am curiously researching the Second one that has made an appearance of late. Why two? which one have you seen? they have different borders, different dates and other anomalies which seem to lead to more questions. tis a shame that you wear your blinders so tightly.
his Hawaiin birth certificate

We have known Barack Obama will become the nation's 44th president since Election Night, but now it's official. The Electoral College voters cast their ballots in state capitals today, fulfilling their ceremonial but very important role as laid out by the Constitution.
But this is actually not the last step in the process. Congress will still have to confirm the results at a joint session scheduled for Jan. 6. Mr. Obama will then be sworn in as the country's first black president on Jan. 20 at noon.
i may have one, i may have none. i may have several, what Does it matter?
again, wrong step in the process ... confirmation occurs after the election.
wrong by assumption ... the Speaker of the House of Representatives (Pelosi/Boehner elect) is the ONLY Congressperson who can initiate Articles of Impeachment, no other Congressional person and no member of the Senate. (hence, Congress)
Isn't it amazing that the most likely person (Pelosi) responsible for the 'altering' of the document in question,
where was her respect for our military?
Certainly not in the best interests of Americans or American soldiers.
yea, how nice it was to do business on a hand shake ... once upon a time, honesty and integrity
Actually, the Founding documents (the Federalist papers) clarify the concept quite clearly.
He, Obama, presented nothing ...
An 'official of the State of Hawai'i' verified the birth record is valid (birth was registered) ... NO ONE has confirmed or proven or even hinted that Obama was born on any Hawaiian island or any American territory.
“I, Dr. Chiyome Fukino, Director of the Hawai‛i State Department of Health, have seen the original vital
records maintained on file by the Hawai‘i State Department of Health verifying Barack Hussein Obama
was born in Hawai‘i and is a natural-born American citizen. I have nothing further to add to this statement
or my original statement issued in October 2008 over eight months ago.”

Yawn. Panama is NOT universally considered US territory. The US property in Panama is. How many hospitals are on that property and which one was McCain born in? Oh, right. Congress declared him eligible so we would not have to worry about it.
That is funny.

McCain isn't the POTUS so no ... it is not a concern ... quit trying to make it one ... lame is an under-statement.
And yes, after Congressional hearings, he passed ... where were those hearings for Obama??? why none for him?? is he special or something? or right, he's black and white ... must be an AA thing. (for the youngins out there, that's Affirmative Action ... google it)

The link is there. No straightforward guideline is mentioned in the constitution, only congress has the power to remove or deal with the president if eligibility is the issue. The president or any candidate running for president is not obligated to release a long form birth certificate as evidence. Congress deals with eligibility how it sees fit and has done so for years, this is why the vast majority of presidents have not bothered to released their birth certificates in public.
true, but the Real ID program which is a Congressional action does.
The real ID act of 2005 focuses mostly on foreigners or immigrants coming into this country, and it makes no mention of "long form birth certificates". It has absolutely no relevance to presidential eligibility.
this occurs AFTER the election
If you were at all fimiliar with the constitution you would understand that the general elections of November is in no way the final decider for the presidency. The electoral college and congress is left to confirm a president in place, this is why we have a Republic, not a Direct Democracy. Once again the constitution does not leave matters of eligibility to any specific group, is does however leave the power of that requirement and impeachment to congress. December 15th of every election year is the next step to the election process.
and they also have the power to question his claim, even after the election, as they are now.
I'm glad you got my point, they do have the power to question, infact they have the power to require the president of his long form birth certificate (if one exists at all). They have that chance on December 15th, the Democrats had that chance, the Republicans had that chance, the electors had that chance, and what happened?
We have known Barack Obama will become the nation's 44th president since Election Night, but now it's official. The Electoral College voters cast their ballots in state capitals today, fulfilling their ceremonial but very important role as laid out by the Constitution.
But this is actually not the last step in the process. Congress will still have to confirm the results at a joint session scheduled for Jan. 6. Mr. Obama will then be sworn in as the country's first black president on Jan. 20 at noon.
www.cbsnews.com...
He was confirmed president on December 15th, 2008, by the electoral college and congress. Nobody of relevance objected during that process when they actually had a chance. This link you referenced be is dated April 2009. First of all it was more than four months later for the December 15th confirmation of the president, second of all the guy who wrote it was a lawyer. He was not anybody of relevance to DC. He was not a senator nor an elector. Just another person going on about a lawsuit, and boy what a waste of space and words.
Why on earth did you reference me this letter of a lawyer to make a point about electors or senators objecting on december 15? It has no relation to that day. If I wanted to hear somebody write a long whiny letter about the president and his eligibility, I would have asked for it.
i may have one, i may have none. i may have several, what Does it matter?
It does matter. If you are arguing about the presidents eligibility in relation to the constitution, you'd be spending your time actually referencing where in the constitution or in previous court cases, yet you've done none of the such.
again, wrong step in the process ... confirmation occurs after the election.
And again the general elections are not the final step the president being elected. If we were a direct democracy, not a Republic, you'd have a point, but you don't. You are clearly confused as to the difference between the two.
wrong by assumption ... the Speaker of the House of Representatives (Pelosi/Boehner elect) is the ONLY Congressperson who can initiate Articles of Impeachment, no other Congressional person and no member of the Senate. (hence, Congress)
Isn't it amazing that the most likely person (Pelosi) responsible for the 'altering' of the document in question,
Altering the document? And yes congress itself can still remove pelosi and they can still object to the president, none of which has been done. Now as you stated, Pelosi holds authority over the matter, to which she is a member of congress. She did not object to it, so this solves that issue for you, regardless of what political issues you may hold for her.
where was her respect for our military?
Supporting wars of lies is being disrespectful to the military huh? Yes I know her attempts to block funding to the Iraq war and so forth has been borthersom to people like you. That and allowing american citizens to serve their country regardless of their sexuality. I dare you to go run that tone in a seperate thread and see the kind of support you'll get on this forum.
Certainly not in the best interests of Americans or American soldiers.
And what is the best interest of american soldiers? Fighting for corporations in foreign lands? Really? Explain to us further this point of yours, please.
yea, how nice it was to do business on a hand shake ... once upon a time, honesty and integrity
How can a person be honest to somebody like you if you continiously refuse to believe them let alone the documents they present? You demand Obama release more documents to you including his long form birth certificate (most of which other presidents had not) and while you're at it, you insist you merely seek "honesty". Right.
It'd be great to get alittle more honesty from birthers once in a while. They consist of mostly a bunch of hiding racists and partisans who cannot man or woman up to what their true feelings are. This is why they cannot seem to gather anything further than speculation and questions.
Actually, the Founding documents (the Federalist papers) clarify the concept quite clearly.
Where? Please reference them for us here.
He, Obama, presented nothing ...
President Obama, (yes he is the president now and has been for 2 years), was not obligated to present anything to the public itself. His eligibility, as with the previous 43 presidents, was dealt with by congress and her members. Obama did present his short form birth certificate and Hawaiian officials did verify his birth there along with two announcements in the newspaper. The president has done more so than most other presidents.
If you are to insist that this president has not proven his eligibility, I suggest you put your money where your mouth is and actually come up with all 43 birth certificates and state verifications of the previous 43 presidents, k?
An 'official of the State of Hawai'i' verified the birth record is valid (birth was registered) ... NO ONE has confirmed or proven or even hinted that Obama was born on any Hawaiian island or any American territory.
For the record:
“I, Dr. Chiyome Fukino, Director of the Hawai‛i State Department of Health, have seen the original vital
records maintained on file by the Hawai‘i State Department of Health verifying Barack Hussein Obama
was born in Hawai‘i and is a natural-born American citizen. I have nothing further to add to this statement
or my original statement issued in October 2008 over eight months ago.”
hawaii.gov...
Now if you are demanding that somebody personally show you proof of Obama's birth, you'd need a time machine, or somebody who actually took a picture of Obama being born. But on a serious note, if that is really what you demand, then you are really being full of it and I'd suggest you fess up and tell us your real issue with the man in the whitehouse.
try the preamble and every Article thereafter, yes, it is. No, it's isn't spelled out for the lame observers but if you read and comprehend it, it is clear.
No straightforward guideline is mentioned in the constitution
are u nuts?? Pelosi is OUT and Boehner is in ... times are a changing. and just which do you reside in? Democracy, Republic or Democratic Republic???
none of which has been done
And what is the best interest of american soldiers? Fighting for corporations in foreign lands? Really? Explain to us further this point of yours, please.

No word games. You seem to think Panama is a military installation. It is not. There is one there.
McCain isn't the POTUS so no ... it is not a concern ... quit trying to make it one ... lame is an under-statement.

This is easy. Obama was born in the USA, McCain was not. We just went over this. I forgot, these arguments are nothing but "we just went over this."
I was not the one that brought him up here.

Ocama claims to be born in the USA, no proof provided (for 2+ yrs) ... still bucking requests.
McCain admits Panama birth (on US territory) and proved it with quite a Congressional fuss, official birth record (in its entirety) and full Congressional approval.
Obama, not so much.
geeeeesh, i thought we just went over this.

He has provided proof, you just refuse to accept it. Nothing is going to help you with that but time.
McCain admits Panama birth (on US territory) and proved it with quite a Congressional fuss, official birth record (in its entirety) and full Congressional approval.
So which hospital was he born in again?
Obama, not so much.
Being born in the US will do that.
geeeeesh, i thought we just went over this.
I guess you needed a review.
This whole thread is a review. There is not one new argument here for the birther movement and not one valid argument. You are all just repeating the same old debunked lies to each other. That is fine by me. The only ones believing it are you guys and you already believe it so...no loss, no gain here.
So, who brought him up in Our conversation?
So which hospital was he born in again?

ok, clearly English is not your strong suit, so allow me to clarify for you.
"Panama and every other military installation" ... now, which part of the military installation in Panama encompasses the whole country or has you confused?
formal = correct ?? not in any dictionary ever printed.
i didn't mentioned any hospitals ... not regarding McCain or Obama ... you asked that question without any prompting from me.
never mentioned your ability to read, just noted you poor comprehension.
typical, avoid answering a direct question because it may incriminate You ... classic Obama training.
mega fail ... irrelevant ... you just won't let it go, will you? either way, you'll get no answer from me, i don't care to know, i don't care to remember and i don't care because McCain is Not POTUS.
No adequate proof of any kind has been provided.
That you accept the fake ID at face value is repulsive.
who are you to fail any thread?
seem like just an instigator to me ...
you provide no dialogue, no substance, no fresh outlook in your commentary, is that why you deem it a fail? just curious.
There is not one standing, valuable, acceptable shred of evidence that Obama is anything he claims to be. The puppet needs to cut his strings and bow out.

I am not arguing Real ID with you,
you speak as though a missed opportunity is lost forever
look i've been voting for probably more years than you are old
the electoral college has never 'questioned' any elected POTUS that late in the game,
Mistakes were made,
i am not sure which link you refer (lawyer letter) ... i am involved in more than one conversation and regarding the electoral college, "fulfilling their ceremonial" duty ... is hardly any opportunity to object. I believe the link was in regard to 'no one' questioned him or something like that.
i am a citizen who rightfully demands sufficient confirmation of a mere 'claim'.
are u nuts?? Pelosi is OUT and Boehner is in ... times are a changing.
and just which do you reside in? Democracy, Republic or Democratic Republic???
defending America and Americans, period.
the same way a minor buys tobacco and alcohol at a haji/convenience store. fake IDs work well when presented properly.
just because something says so, am i supposed to believe it?? or trust my instincts?
This is why many 'birthers' refuse to engage opposing opinions,
Don't go claiming he is my President, you are mistaken.
i am a sovereign citizen of America.
The only form presented publicly was a short form verifying the birth registry of Barack Obama ... that is not an acceptable form of verification.
Newspaper announcements prove Nothing ... a child was born, nothing more, big deal.
Fukino ??? the removed mouth-piece, yep that's a good source. payment must have been good.
