Should the President-elect produce proof of his birth in the United States?

Question

Should the President-elect produce proof of his birth in the United States?

Answer 1

I agree,Not that he's black He still has not proved BEYOND a reasonable doubt When ones own relative says he was born in another country HE must step up with more then a birth certificate White black pink yellow or green must show better then the next person HE is going to become the leader of the most powerful country in the free world Obama is not above the laws of this country

Answer 2

Even IF this certificate of live birth is a valid certificate, he was never repatriated after his father claimed him as a citizen of Indonesia in order for him to attend school there because only citizens could attend. If he is a citizen of Indonesia, he had to be repatriated here in order to be President (but not senator) and he was not.



And no Kevin A.R.T., it has nothing to do with his race. You should be ashamed for even asking that question. This is a perfectly legitimate question to which a lot of people have not gotten a satisfactory answer and for anyone to ask “Because he’s Black?” is very immature. It is a matter of whether or not the Constitution of the United States of America has been violated ... PERIOD!

For every SCOTUS decision handed down there are many people who do not agree with it.

Answer 3

It already has been proven, you want to see the birth certificate visit the source page at the bottom. Or google Obama's birth certificate.



Do I think Americans should insist on knowing their president's elligibility to serve? Of course, when there are valid allegations, and not just angry conservatives who are mad that a Black, Intelligent, Man will be our next President.



he is inaugurated and is found to be ineligible the resulting Constitutional crisis would put Watergate to shame? are you serious being from another country would be worse than being a corrupt, lying president.

Answer 4

I would demand it in this particular case, as there is reasonable doubt as to his eligibility. Specifically, was he born in the City and County of Honolulu, or was he born without the territorial United States and registered later in Hawaii? The answer to this question lies in the Certificate of Hawai'ian Birth in the archives of the City and County of Honolulu, Department of Records. Several persons have raised issues with the recent copy posted at BarackObama.com concerning irregularities on the background, including but not limited to mismatch of color and border by year.



Should a party at interest need my birth certificate, for instance, it is photocopied from the microfiched original at the County of Contra Costa, Office of the Recorder, onto a paper background provided for the purpose by the State of California, Department of Administrative Law; the copy is certified by the Deputy Recorder on duty, with his/her stamp and signature. Changes in the background occur on an annual basis as an anti-forgery procedure.

Answer 5

Barack has produced as much as any other President has. An official certificate of live birth is all OVER the internet, and has been submitted as proof of his citizenship.



Why should he produce more? Because he's black?





Besides, do you really think the CIA would give him confidential information if they weren't 100% sure he could serve?

(the second page shows the official seal, for those who deny its existance)









NOW the burden of proof is on YOU. Prove to me that every other president has been required to show more proof than this. You can email me, i will respond, and will be very civil in the matter.











EDIT2:





OK, I question his Social Security number. I want to see his social security card.



I als question his bank account. I want his account number and PIN.



There is sucha thing as privacy. He showed a certificate of live birth, the Supreme Court decided that was enough proof. Again, what more do you want? Where does it stop? How much information can i get from someone just by "questioning" that which has already been shown evidence to be wrong?





EDIT 3:



He has an official certificate of live birth? What more do peope want? A long-form birth certificate? How do you know people wouldn't question THAT?

The doctor who birthed him, testifying under oath? people qould question that.

His parents testifying, and video footage of his birth caught on camera, with someone saying to the camera "Hey, we're in Hawa'i?



People would question it.





So the point is: How do you determine what evidence is enough? Whose decision is it? The answer: The Supreme Court, NOT yours. And guess what they said?

Answer 6

No he should not have to show us anything. The ones that check if the man is qualified to run for the highest office of our Nation is enough for me. Then bring out the medical records of the seriousness of melanoma for McCain. < This was started about Obama when McCain was questioned about being born in the US. This is started just like the gossip to my NOW X when his buddies thought they knew more then my X, they wanted to get rid of me and start businesses under THEIRS and my X's name and get rid of me. Well this U.S. Citizenship Thing has been milked until it cannot be milked any more. Just let IT GO!!!!! Believe me being a 1/2 White and 1/2 black (MAYBE 1/4 black and 1/3 INDIAN or 1/5 something else,) let it all go. It is ridiculous to hash this ? anymore. That guy is being paid by some GROUP to cause people to mistrust (THE BLACK MAN TO THOSE) that want to prove BLACK-MEN are bad and cannot be trusted. OVER and OVER and OVER. PLEASE!!! PEACE!!!

Answer 7

Hawaiian state officials have already produced the necessary documentation in question, which is why the cases are constantly thrown out of court and/or in the case of the Supreme Court, they refused to review it.



Not sure how much longer this conspiracy theory will persist, but keep in mind that when Obama announced his candidacy, Bush had a full background check completed, just for this type of issue. If anything had come up, I guarantee that it would have been handed to the McCain campaign on Oct. 31st.



edit: So you are doubting official state documents produced by appointees of the Republican Hawaiian governor who has nothing to gain by helping Obama?



What will it take for you to believe otherwise?

Answer 8

One would certainly hope that was a requirement BEFORE they're allowed to even register to run.



At this late date, the USA would look very bad if Obama were found ineligible.

Answer 9

No as it would mean that someone like Arnold Schwarzenegger who is from Austria would not get the chance to be President.

But at the same time yes.

As we all know what happened when the last person from Austria had power in his hands!

Answer 10

My friend, it has been seen by those with a need to see it and it has been verified by those with a need to verify it.



1. The FBI, under section SF-86, is required to verify that all presidential and vice presidential nominees are qualified to hold office should they get elected. The FBI has verified Barack Obama's long form birth certificate as authentic. They has also verified as authentic the two birth announcements in the two local Hawaii newspapers, dated August 5, 1961.

2. The Kenyan grandmother is a crazy loon. Her claim has been discredited by her relatives and the people from her village.



3. No Supreme Court Judge, no Senator or Congressman, no Cabinet member, no Ambassador, will ever say that Obama isn't qualified to be President because they, too, have had to go through the same background check.



Because of this, every case will be thrown out of court as they already have been. They will be thrown out of court because our Supreme Court Judges already know Barack Obama has already been qualified. They, too, have to pass the same background check and recieve their security clearances.



4. As to releasing private and personal information to the general public, why should Obama do so? If we let nutcase attorneys start demanding and receiving in court our private information where will it stop? How would you feel if I personally sued you to see your medical records, your wife's pregnacy tests, your credit standing, your bank account, your daughter's IQ tests?



5. Barack Obama was NEVER a citizen of Indonesia. He was a minor at the time and his step-father did not have the right, under international law, to alter is citizenship status. Even when the step-father registered him as a citizen of indonesia he did so illegally. Because he did so illegally, Barack Obama was never anything but a US citizen.



The FBI knows this, the Supreme Court knows this, our government knows this. The only people not wanting to accept this are those who will never accept obama as our president.

Answer 11

He's already shown it, and it has been independently verified by three different sources, one of them being the FBI.



Another being the Hawaiian Government, which did not seal the birth certificate as so many have claimed.







Obama was born in Hawaii, and it has already been proven. That so many are ignoring the proof doesn't change the fact that it exists and has already been shown to us.

Answer 12

Yes

Answer 13

Absolutely.

Answer 14

I agree, Obama wouldn't release his donor list, all other candidates did, he has questionable associations which are still unclear. The very least he could do is provide proof of where he was born.

Answer 15

If this Supreme Court declines to look at this question, then so shall I.
