Obama Ws Never Certified

[Nick_A]

As odd as it may seem,Obama was never certified as constituionally eligible nor was anyone required to do so.

Maskell told WND he wrote it because so many members of Congress were getting questions from constituents about the issue, and they wanted to know how to respond. It would explain why so many mailed and e-mailed responses to constituents on the issue of eligibility sound just alike.


 

The CRS begins the memo by stating the problem:

"Many of the inquiries have questioned why then-Senator, and now President, Obama has not had to produce an original, so-called 'long' version of a 'birth certificate' from the State of Hawaii, how federal candidates are 'vetted' for qualifications generally, and have asked for an assessment of the various allegations and claims of non-eligibility status."
In other words, senators and members of the House could not explain why nobody ever saw Obama's long-form, hospital-generated birth certificate, and they needed a ready answer to give angry constituents who were writing, faxing and telephoning their offices for an answer.

The second full paragraph of the CRS memo must be read in its entirety to understand fully the circumstance that allowed a candidate for whom documentation was concealed from the public to be elected and sworn in as president.

It states:

"Concerning the production or release of an original birth certificate, it should be noted that there is no federal law, regulation, rule, guideline, or requirement that a candidate for federal office produce his or her original birth certificate, or a certified copy of the record of live birth, to any official of the United States government; nor is there a requirement for federal candidates to publicly release such personal record or documentation. Furthermore, there is no specific federal agency or office that 'vets' candidates for federal office as to qualifications or eligibility prior to return."

What the CRS admits is that Obama got a pass from Congress and the federal government as a whole on his birth qualifications under Article 2, Section 1. Nobody in Congress or the federal government sought to look for Obama's certified long-form, hospital-generated birth certificate, because no law or regulation required them to look.

After the document was written, nobody in Congress could claim that Congress or anyone else in the federal government had reviewed Obama's birth certificate or determined Obama was eligible to be president. It simply did not happen.



The question becomes if the Republican congress will have the character and courage to certify Obama or declare him ineligible to run for re-election in 2012?

If they don't, it will invite the formation of the "Birther Party" and ruin the reputation of the Republican Party.

His Election by the Electoral College WAS Certified By the House of Representatives.
OK so we have a big procedural problem and a lack of vetting the Facts by the House..  Lets not make it more complex than it already is by making unfounded claims..
Birthers and Anti-Birthers would do well to just stick to the facts and avoid the spurious claims that both sides have made.. THE FACT is that it is up to the House to decide the issue.. and they have done so... by just taking Obama's word for it.
They Certified his Election and He is the President of the USA.
Is he Natural born and eligible to hold the Office as the Constitution requires?   No one knows at this point.... and no one with the Constitutional Authority to question that [only the House of Representatives] has ever officially asked the question.. 
You all are endlessly arguing about things and scenarios that DO NOT MATTER..
If you are truly concerned about the question, you should be asking your Congressman to resolve the matter as it is their Constitutional Responsibility to ensure that only a Natural Born Citizen occupies the Office of President of the USA.
Any other course is a total waste of time.

That is the idea.  Obama was never certified.  We are required to take Obama's word for it. The New Republican congress has both the duty and obligation to certify Obama as eligible to run again in 2012 or declare him ineligible.

If they lack the courage and character to defend the Constitution and instead refuse to do so from cowardice and fear of cries of racism, it will force the creation of the "Birther Party" that will have as its platform the promise to reveal the facts of the matter.  People like me that would be disgusted with Republican cowardice, would vote for the Birther Party candidate for president. The division will most likey assure Obama's victory.
