Oh, I don't know,
Uh, the one in the OP,
how is this a lie?
The fact of the matter is that he has spent millions on lawyers, these lawyers are in court to ensure his documents are kept on lock-down
I can't get a passport or a DL, join the military, do hardly anything without a hard copy, certified to be true, notarized and stamped birth certificate. How is it that we accept this nonsense when it comes to the president.

Thank you, fact is I am smart, damn smart.
My Latin is a legal maxim, nothing political.
No, I do not recall, so please refresh me memory with links to valid challenges before and or after he was placed on a ballot and the outcome of any and all subsequent judicial proceedings.

And indeed you concede that Mr. Obama has not produced an alleged birth certificate to the Secretary of State.
How many previous Presidents have given copies of their birth certificates to every secretary of state? Or even been asked for them?
Thus Jay did not agree that simply being a “born Citizen” was sufficient enough protection from foreign influence in the singular most powerful office in the new form of government. Rather, Jay wanted to make sure the President and Commander In Chief owed his allegiance solely to the United States of America. He wanted another adjective added to the eligibility clause, i.e., ‘natural’. And that word ‘natural’ goes to the Citizenship status of one’s parents via natural law. B
2. The Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution was adopted 9 July 1868: 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. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. The intent and purpose of the (14th) amendment was to provide equal citizenship to all Americans either born on U.S. soil or naturalized therein and subject to the jurisdiction thereof. It does not grant “natural born Citizen” status. It only confers “citizen” status, as that is the exact word used by the Amendment itself and that is the same word that appears in Article I, II, III, and IV of the Constitution. It just conveys the status of “citizen,” and as we learned from how the Framers handled the Naturalization Acts of 1790 and 1795, being a “citizen” does not necessarily mean that one is a “natural born Citizen.” The Fourteenth Amendment only tells us who may become members of the community called the United States, i.e., those born on U.S. soil or naturalized and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are U.S. citizens.

Oh, I don't know,
Exactly, he has not used it for that purpose
Just where do you think Obama has used it for evidence of eligibility? Link?
Oh, I don't know, perhaps here? Whitehouse website
how is this a lie?
Because he has not spent millions in covering up his documents.... and remember, one of his lawyers working on the silly birther cases is working pro bono...
The fact of the matter is that he has spent millions on lawyers, these lawyers are in court to ensure his documents are kept on lock-down
Wrong again....

Except of course Obama has a certified copy of his birth certificate, as shown in 2008
Interpretation 324.2 (a)(3) provides: “The repatriation provisions of these two most recent enactments also apply to a native- and natural-born citizen woman who expatriated herself by marriage to an alien…” (Emphasis added.) Then, Interpretation 324.2(a)(7) provides: “(7) Restoration of citizenship is prospective . Restoration to citizenship under any one of the three statutes is not regarded as having erased the period of alienage that immediately preceded it. The words “shall be deemed to be a citizen of the United States to the same extent as though her marriage to said alien had taken place on or after September 22, 1922″, as they appeared in the 1936 and 1940 statutes, are prospective and restore the status of native-born or natural-born citizen (whichever existed prior to the loss) as of the date citizenship was reacquired.” (Emphasis added.) And again, Interpretation 324.2(b) provides: “The effect of naturalization under the above statutes was not to erase the previous period of alienage, but to restore the person to the status if naturalized, native, or natural-born citizen, as determined by her status prior to loss.” (Emphasis added.)
In Rogers. v. Bellei, 401 U.S. 815 (1971), the U.S. Supreme Court confirmed that persons born abroad are not covered by the 14th Amendment, and therefore, their citizenship can be stripped from them by Congress, whereas Congress cannot strip citizenship from a 14th Amendment citizen, whether born or naturalized here: “Mr. Justice Gray has observed that the first sentence of the Fourteenth Amendment was “declaratory of existing rights, and affirmative of existing law,” so far as the qualifications of being born in the United States, being naturalized in the United States, and being subject to its jurisdiction are concerned. United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S., at 688 . Then follows a most significant sentence: ”But it [the first sentence of the Fourteenth Amendment] has not touched the acquisition of citizenship by being born abroad of American parents; and has left that subject to be regulated, as it had always been, by Congress, in the exercise of the power conferred by the Constitution to establish an uniform rule of naturalization.”
The INS includes the following explanation of Interpretations: “Interpretations were created to supplement and clarify the provisions of the statute and regulations as interpreted by the courts. These materials usually are not included in the regulations because they deal generally with procedural matters and do not deal directly with application and benefit requirements. They are still a useful tool to help you understand how the DHS Bureaus performs their different immigration services and enforcement functions. Users of the Operation Instructions and Interpretations should always consult the relevant regulations and manuals in conjunction with these materials. As the DHS Bureaus have grown, the trend has been towards inclusion of more materials in the regulations and field manuals, and the Operations Instructions and Interpretations have been updated less frequently.”

That poses the real question.
Who is Obama's "real" father.
Only a DNA test will show the truth.
Although IMO, the real father is an American.
So eligibility is moot.
I don't think that's the issue right now (although a VERY good question). It's WHERE he was BORN. Not who sired his soul.
Every presidency seems to get worse and worse.
Clinton - cheated with Lewinsky
Bush - lied about WMD
Obama - total fraud
What's next?....a non-human robotic president?edit on 13-4-2012 by Human_Alien because: corrected: forged to fraud
