So help me God.<br><br><br>1. WE THE PEOPLE VOTE.<br><br>We, the People, have the right (and, some would say, responsibility) to vote for our candidate of choice. As the Robinson court noted, Arguments concerning qualifications or lack thereof can be laid before the voting public before the election.<br><br>Here, we see that that process worked quite well. Dozens of websites, claiming tens of millions of visitors, proclaimed that Obama was not eligible. News media investigated these claims. Some (interestingly, conservative media) reported on them, essentially refuting them. Other media never reported on the claim because their investigation determined the claims to be bogus.<br><br>However, thanks to the same internet that enabled each one of us to look at Obamas COLB, each interested voter was able to read scores and scores of articles arguing that Obama was not eligible that Obama was hiding something .. that Obama had not proved his eligibility, etc.<br><br>Then, they voted.<br><br>Clearly, the majority of voters the people constitutionally entrusted with making this qualification determination in the first instance made their determination that Obama is eligible for the Presidency. Clearly, the jury i.e., the majority of voters was satisfied with the evidence provided.<br><br> <br><br>2. OUR DECISION IS TRANSMITTED TO THE CONGRESS VIA THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE VOTE<br><br>Next up, the Electoral College casts their vote to the Congress, consistent with Constitution Article II and state enabling statutes; about half of which require the elector to cast his/her vote for the \"winning\" candidate).<br><br> <br><br>3. CONGRESS ACCEPTS VOTE; ADDRESSES QUALIFICATIONS ISSUE<br><br>Next, Congress accepts the Electoral College vote and, pursuant to the 20th Amendment, (a) determines whether the elected President qualifies, and (b)takes necessary action if the President is not qualified. Federal statute (3 U.S.C. 15) sets forth the procedures for raising and resolving any objections on the qualifications issue pursuant to the 20th Amendment (as quoted in Robinson excerpt, above).<br><br> <br><br>Thus, essentially, the Constitution entrusted Congress to be the judge of this issue.<br><br> <br><br>So - to put the whole process in court terms - (a) We, The People/voters are like a Jury - entrusted by the states (per 10th Amendment/state law) to evaluate the evidence and render our verdict; (b) the Constitutionally-established Electoral College is like the Jury Spokesperson, who reports the Voters/Jurys verdict to Congress; and (c) Congress is like the Judge, empowered by the Constitution to uphold the jurys verdict or - if inconsistent with the Constitution (because the President-Elect does not qualify) - to overturn the jurys verdict.<br><br>To advocate that a court step in somehow and usurp this clearly established Constitutional process is a bit beyond the pale.<br><br> <br><br>As for as the claim that some have made i.e., It should be the duty of some authoritative body to confirm citizenship.<br><br>As noted above, it IS the duty of an authoritative body the US Congress. Clearly established in the Constitution.<br><br> <br><br>That being said what may well change in the future are the individual state laws governing required paperwork for declaring ones candidacy. It appears that some states require the party to file an affidavit (under oath, etc.) that their candidate would be eligible, if elected; other states require the candidate to file such affidavit that s|he would be eligible; and still others dont even ask about that, determining that it is the partys duty to obtain such confirmation.<br><br> <br><br>This is understandable, given the Constitutional process already in place to confirm eligibility before permitting the elected President to actually take office (as described above).<br><br>That being said, as reported by Jeff Schreiber re: a PA legislator, I expect that some states may modify their laws to require the candidate to submit, with the affidavit, some sort of documentary proof.<br><br> <br><br>HOWEVER even then, requiring anything more than the legally-recognized COLB would surely be unconstitutional.<br><br> <br><br>Thus, even if all 2008 state laws had a legal requirement that a candidate provide documentary proof of citizenship, Obama would have met that requirement with 50 copies of a certified Hawaii COLB.", "is_last_child": false, "can_reply": true, "down_voted": false, "real_date": "2009-07-15_18:17:19", "killed": false, "user_key": "Chisna", "has_been_anonymized": false, "edited": false, "author_is_moderator": false, "from_request_user": false, "votable": true, "date": "4 months ago", "approved": true, "num_replies": 9, "is_first_child": false, "email": "", "parent_post_id": null, "depth": 0, "points": 0, "author_is_creator": false, "is_realtime": false}, "13106651": {"up_voted": false, "ip": "", "has_replies": false, "message": "Count me in, John.

EVERY court decision and objective inquiry has found that he was.  Here\'s one such court report:<br> <br>   [The court finds the claims against Mr. Obama’s citizenship “wholly unpersuasive and bordering on the frivolous, especially in light of the complete absence of any first-hand evidence on any critical issue” and further classifies it as “conspiracy theory of the lowest sort, fueled by nothing than internet rumor and those who truly want to believe egging each other on.”]<br><br>In short, you ARE a nutbag conspiracy theorist, despite your protests to the contrary.  And before you get too snooty, my MENSA number is 1051546.  I am also a .1%er.

That means Born to 2 Americans, and therefore raised American, to think like Americans, and to appreciate what it means to be American! .... Loyal to America!  And America ONLY! Would you elect Chavez as the US president!? You may as well have! <br> Who cares if he has been raised a Communist! Who cares if he was raised abroad to think like a "Citizen of the World"! This is America folks not the UN! Who cares if he hangs with America Haters! And terrorists! COP KILLERS! Who cares if he thinks or wants to declare the people who Really Do give a damn about their Country the terrorists, and let the real terrorist loose to wreak havoc!? Who cares if he claims to be a Christian but requires Jesus be covered in order to have him speak in your building!? Who Cares if he MOCKS Jesus!? Obama is no Christian!!!<br> He is MUCH closer to a Muslim Christian Hater!<br> <br>To make a simple analogy. Suppose a school board president is elected. He managed to stay off the sex offender registry, but later you find out he is a several times convicted, child molester. Do you leave him in his job which he got by lying to the members who elected him, or do you kick him out!? <br> It is OK, even a good thing, to appoint Activist Homosexuals, to oversee the Education and brainwashing of your kids That any sexual lifestyle or perversion is a good thing!  ( Dems refused to exclude protection of Pedophiles in the Hate crimes legislation about to pass the Congress. With out it Pedophiles can be protected under this law! Why would any idiot want to leave this open to argument!??? Answer to PROTECT their Perversion!  Why do they leave any bill open to interpretation later? So unelected people can make policy! Folks this is Dangerous to every one of us, as free people! It is Extremely Dangerous to America as a free Nation!<br><br>Folks you are sadly deceived if you think Obama is not an American hater and as president he becomes a traitor! He is NOT a protector of this country or your children! If Obama stays in office til 2012, and ACORN and all their friends are not shut down,  you can kiss any fair election good bye! Thanks to the 10-20 BILLION they are giving ACORN to skeew the elections in 2010 and 2012. 14 BILLION going to the Census! Who is running the Census? ACORN Why do you think the stimulas money is not spent untill 2010, 2011 and 2012. You and I as tax payers are going to fund his re-election! <br> The Dems brought a bill to end the Presidential term limits a week after the 2008 election! This should be Honduras all over again! Why do you think he condemned Honduras the next day for Legally ousting their President, who tried to Illegally, end his term limits!? <br>Obama\'s policies are to take this Country Down, and keep us down, so he...the UN ...the Bankers of the Federal Reserve, can control us, not keep us free and prosperous!  <br><br>Wake up people, before America, is no longer America!!!! every day Obama and the Fed run this country, is a day closer to UN take over of America!</div>\

He was a US citizen because he was born in Hawai\'i and was a Kenyan citizen because of his father\'s birth in Kenya. <blockquote>"When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom\'s dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.\'s children:"</blockquote><br>When Kenya declared its independence of the Crown, both Obama Sr and Obama Jr became Kenyan citizens, BUT Kenyan law prevents dual citizenship. So Obama Jr lost his Kenyan citizenship in 1982, on his 21st birthday.<br><br>As for the rest of your extensive list of requirements, how many other presidents or candidates have had to trot out a complete dossier of their school records, kindergarten photos, etc., etc?

So help me God.<br><br><br>1. WE THE PEOPLE VOTE.<br><br>We, the People, have the right (and, some would say, responsibility) to vote for our candidate of choice. As the Robinson court noted, Arguments concerning qualifications or lack thereof can be laid before the voting public before the election.<br><br>Here, we see that that process worked quite well. Dozens of websites, claiming tens of millions of visitors, proclaimed that Obama was not eligible. News media investigated these claims. Some (interestingly, conservative media) reported on them, essentially refuting them. Other media never reported on the claim because their investigation determined the claims to be bogus.<br><br>However, thanks to the same internet that enabled each one of us to look at Obamas COLB, each interested voter was able to read scores and scores of articles arguing that Obama was not eligible that Obama was hiding something .. that Obama had not proved his eligibility, etc.<br><br>Then, they voted.<br><br>Clearly, the majority of voters the people constitutionally entrusted with making this qualification determination in the first instance made their determination that Obama is eligible for the Presidency. Clearly, the jury i.e., the majority of voters was satisfied with the evidence provided.<br><br> <br><br>2. OUR DECISION IS TRANSMITTED TO THE CONGRESS VIA THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE VOTE<br><br>Next up, the Electoral College casts their vote to the Congress, consistent with Constitution Article II and state enabling statutes; about half of which require the elector to cast his/her vote for the "winning" candidate).<br><br> <br><br>3. CONGRESS ACCEPTS VOTE; ADDRESSES QUALIFICATIONS ISSUE<br><br>Next, Congress accepts the Electoral College vote and, pursuant to the 20th Amendment, (a) determines whether the elected President qualifies, and (b)takes necessary action if the President is not qualified. Federal statute (3 U.S.C. 15) sets forth the procedures for raising and resolving any objections on the qualifications issue pursuant to the 20th Amendment (as quoted in Robinson excerpt, above).<br><br> <br><br>Thus, essentially, the Constitution entrusted Congress to be the judge of this issue.<br><br> <br><br>So - to put the whole process in court terms - (a) We, The People/voters are like a Jury - entrusted by the states (per 10th Amendment/state law) to evaluate the evidence and render our verdict; (b) the Constitutionally-established Electoral College is like the Jury Spokesperson, who reports the Voters/Jurys verdict to Congress; and (c) Congress is like the Judge, empowered by the Constitution to uphold the jurys verdict or - if inconsistent with the Constitution (because the President-Elect does not qualify) - to overturn the jurys verdict.<br><br>To advocate that a court step in somehow and usurp this clearly established Constitutional process is a bit beyond the pale.<br><br> <br><br>As for as the claim that some have made i.e., It should be the duty of some authoritative body to confirm citizenship.<br><br>As noted above, it IS the duty of an authoritative body the US Congress. Clearly established in the Constitution.<br><br> <br><br>That being said what may well change in the future are the individual state laws governing required paperwork for declaring ones candidacy. It appears that some states require the party to file an affidavit (under oath, etc.) that their candidate would be eligible, if elected; other states require the candidate to file such affidavit that s|he would be eligible; and still others dont even ask about that, determining that it is the partys duty to obtain such confirmation.<br><br> <br><br>This is understandable, given the Constitutional process already in place to confirm eligibility before permitting the elected President to actually take office (as described above).<br><br>That being said, as reported by Jeff Schreiber re: a PA legislator, I expect that some states may modify their laws to require the candidate to submit, with the affidavit, some sort of documentary proof.<br><br> <br><br>HOWEVER even then, requiring anything more than the legally-recognized COLB would surely be unconstitutional.<br><br> <br><br>Thus, even if all 2008 state laws had a legal requirement that a candidate provide documentary proof of citizenship, Obama would have met that requirement with 50 copies of a certified Hawaii COLB.</div>\

I want to add that as an active duty Military Member this occifer could just "Request Mast" to see the President and bring this issue to Obama directly. While I would like to see Obama put this matter to bed by simply showing the Long Form birth Certificate I have to wonder why this occifer thinks joining this court action would be more effective than using the opportunity that he is provided as an occifer attached to the Marine Corps to meet with the President and personally bring this matter up. In a "Request Mast" he can request to see anyone in the chain of command up to the president. He then would take the matter up the chain of command to the highest point that he feels necessary to achieve satisfaction, In other words, if  his concerns are not met he has a legal right to take it all the way up to the Commander in Chief and the petitioner is the one who decides when his grievance has been met.  <br> Having spent a considerable amount of time in the Marines I can attest to the fact that Chesty Puller was being kind when he stated that 90% of all occifers were opportunists.</div>\
