Could it be that members of Congress are finally reacting to possibly one of the largest frauds in the history of America? Patriotic Americans, be assured that at least one member of Congress cares enough about the Constitution of the United States, to at least acknowledge a problem with Barry Soetoro AKA Barack Obama’s birth certificate nightmare, not to mention the legality of his social security number.
It has taken until now to finally receive some reasonable feedback from a member of Congress to at least acknowledge there is a problem. Hopefully, as more evidence continues to flood members of Congress, the appropriate oversight committees will spring into action. How soon these people will actually move is another story, as the implications will be enormous.
At least there is some communication from Congress acknowledging the problem so many patriotic Americans are questioning. Surprisingly, we read in the letter that there is no official agency that verifies the president-elects eligibility, something that I find unconscionable, as this American president has presided over some of the worst times in recent history.
A constituent received this letter from Congressman Goodlatte:
“Dear Mr. Haskins:
Thank you for contacting me regarding the recent release of President Barack Obama’s birth certificate. It is good to hear from you.
As you know, the Constitution establishes the qualifications of President of the United States. Only a natural born citizen, at least 35 years of age, and having resided in the United States for at least 14 years is eligible for the Office of President.
A President-elect’s eligibility has traditionally been verified by public record and vetting done by the parties. It is crucial that any President-elect meet the eligibility criteria as determined by the U.S. Constitution and provide the necessary assurances of eligibility.
Currently, there is no office or agency that certifies a President-elect’s eligibility for the office. However, I believe that there should be a more formal process of review and validation as a matter of routine certification of candidates. The Office of the Presidency is undermined if Americans don’t have confidence that the candidates for the highest office in the land are qualified for the position as required by the Constitution.
As you know, President Obama recently released to the public the long-form version of his birth certificate. Since then, concerns have been raised about the validity of the birth certificate as well as the claim that the President has been using a Social Security Number previously issued to another person. These concerns have been raised with the relevant oversight committees in the Congress and if there is enough evidence and more experts reach the same conclusions then these claims will lead to an investigation.
During the last Congress I co-sponsored legislation which would require the principal campaign committee of any candidate for election to the Office of President to include with the committee’s statement of organization a copy of the candidate’s birth certificate and any other documentation necessary to establish that the candidate meets the qualifications for eligibility to the Office of President under the Constitution. This legislation would ensure that proof of eligibility is provided by candidates before each Presidential election.
While the issue of eligibility has come up in past elections, including whether Chester Arthur (our 20th President succeeding to the office upon the death of James Garfield) was born in the U. S. or Canada, never has the issue arisen as to the eligibility of both major party candidates as it did in 2008 with regard to both John McCain and Barack Obama. The public discussion, controversy, uncertainty and the undermining of the Presidency can all be avoided by a routine requirement that future candidates establish their eligibility under the Constitution.
The United States is a nation based on the rule of law. The Constitution clearly sets forth the qualifications for the Office of President, Members of the House and Senate, and members of the federal Judiciary. Any circumvention of these Constitutional requirements would be a slap in the face to the rule of law and our very Democracy. I believe that our Constitution is a solemn contract between the American people and their government. I will continue to work to ensure its terms are adhered to by all elected and appointed government officials.
Again, thanks for the benefit of your comments. Please feel free to contact me whenever I may be of assistance.
Sincerely,
Bob Goodlatte
Member of Congress”
Finally, at least one Congressman is curious.
this guy is a phony just like he said when he took office hope and change all he brought no hope and alot of pain he was born in pakistan he’s a f–k lier like his campaign speech
oh and by the way isn’t this against the law you are supposed to be born in this country this guy should be thrown in prison
brian s.,
Easy now. It’s all just a big misunderstanding. The “Hope and Change” slogan was for the policy “I HOPE we can steal the last of your resources and get out of town before you kill us. Oh yeah, we want the CHANGE out of your pockets too.”
IT ‘S JUST ANOTHER BIG MISUNDERSTANDING HE FORGOT THE RULES AND THE LAW LET ARNOLD SWARZNNEGGER RUN SHIT THAT’S ALL THEY DO IS BREAK THE CONSTITUION ANYWAYS THEY RUN THE HOUSE LIKE IT’S A BUISNESS FOR THERE OWN PROFIT
LOL !
What change ?
The change you had in your pocket three days after you received your last unemployment check, remember?
Oh yeah. That was 3 years ago, but now I remember.
This is an excellent article – thank you Mark Schumacher!
It’s extremely good to hear that there is at least ONE (but only one?) apparently honest, straightforward and concerned member of congress willing to risk being called silly names (“racist”, “hater”, “birther” etc) for daring to ask perfectly sensible – indeed critical – questions and not simply take the word of a clearly deceitful conman (currently going by the name of Obama) at face value!
I’ve recently finished reading Jack Cashill’s well written and well researched book entitled “Deconstructing Obama: The Life, Loves, and Letters of America’s First Postmodern President” in which he demonstrates beyond any reasonable doubt the glaring fabrications in Obama’s “birth narrative” and of course the obvious fact that Obama wrote very little, if any, of his “Autobiography” (“Dreams from my father”) which Cashill amply demonstrates was almost certainly written by the rather undesirable (but very capable writer) Bill Ayres.
I highly recommend “Deconstructing Obama” if for no other reason than to confirm beyond doubt that just because nearly everyone currently says (or chooses to believe) something (such as the lie that Obama is a brilliant author) it does not mean they are right!
I’ve moved on to reading Jerome Corsi’s best seller; “Where’s the Birth Certificate?: The Case that Barack Obama is not Eligible to be President”. This book should be compulsory reading for every senator, congressman and of course deluded fool who thinks people asking pertinent questions about Obama are “nuts” (or worse).
Obama is a fraud, there’s no doubt whatsoever about that in my mind. The sad thing is it might take the perspective of history and irreparable damage to the USA before large numbers of people wake up and take note.

The 1948 British Nationality Act extended consulate jurisdiction wherever a child was born to a British citizen, in territory under international treaty with the UK.

On June 6, 1951, in Washington DC, President Harry S. Truman signed the 1951 British Treaty (September 7, 1952, Date-In-Force), authorizing Britain consular jurisdiction over British citizens, in the USA, where consular officers could register births to British citizens, in the district of jurisdiction, and issue passports to those children.

Barack Obama Sr, was a foreign born student, carrying a British passport, on a US non-immigrant student visa (8USC1101(a)(15)(F)(i)), under British consular jurisdiction, per 1951 British Treaty.

It takes more than just being born an American citizen, to be a US President. A natural born citizen is born in the US to two US nationals. Since Barack H Obama II, was born in Hawaii, then per (circa 1961 law) 8USC1401(a)(1), he would have been native born a US citizen; and under consular jurisdiction of the 1951 British Treaty and under jurisdiction of the British Nationality Act of 1948, Part II(5)(1)(a) he was born a British Citizen, thus a dual-citizen UK/US, and not a natural born citizen, and not constitutionally eligible for the 2008 or 2012 Presidential elections.

The proof given that he was born in Hawaii is extremely suspect. No real proof whatsoever he was born in Hawaii. All proof given so far has proven to be useless. Kenya is looking more and more like the true place of birth.
Mark, everybody knows he was born on Uranus.
sure Mark, that’s why the State of Hawaii certified his BC, the state says “On April 27, 2011 President Barack Obama posted a certified copy of his original Certificate of Live Birth.”

The Full Faith and Credit Clause is the familiar name used to refer to Article IV, Section 1 of the United States Constitution, which addresses the duties that states within the United States have to respect the “public acts, records, and judicial proceedings of every other state.” This means this issue is over!
Over for who? You? We here at the Trenches respect all opinions, even if they are wrong. Have a nice day.
Bull-shit !!
Maybe ObaME has finally pissed off Congress enough with his back door tactics like passing the “Dream Act” by executive order in complete defiance of what congress AND the people want. This man is a danger and a threat and I think the few members of Congress that DO have a conscience and remember why we put them there are starting to realize he needs to be stopped.
Obama Citizenship “ONE QUESTION” HAMMER and NAIL
http://phoenixteaparty.ning.com/profiles/blogs/obama-citizenship-one-question
Drive it home people
President Obama is NOT THAT OLD. Surely, there must be living medical personnel attending his birth that can verify facts. Hospitals usually document all matters pertaining to patients.
B, Did you read Jerome Corsi’s book yet? “Where’s the Birth Certificate?”. Can’t find out anything because they don’t exsist. It’s all a conspiracy. Mr. Corsi kept getting stonewalled at every turn. Please read the book, you will be surprised.
I live in Congressman Bob Goodlattes district. I wrote a letter some time ago expressing my concerns and was about the same time he became a co-sponser of a congressman’s bill from florida to avoid future birth certificate issues.
I also contacted Virginia’s Sec of State prior to the election and just after to find out if an inquiry had been completed regarding McCain’s and Obama’s birth record. I was told at that time that it wasn’t the Sec of States role to validate birth records but and was only required to validate proper votes had been counted. I also called the Sec of State for West Virginia, Kentucky, North Carolina and my requests were either not answered or I was told the exact same thing the Va Sec of State told me.
It’s rather odd to me to note the role for a Sec of State is to provide verification and validation of the state voting record but not to validate if the candidate is eligible to obtain the vote. Further, the said role of the Sec of State provides a back door to the voters if in fact the Sec of State takes a passive role with validation of birth records for every candidate and becomes part of the problem.
I would suggest the way to fix this quickly is for the Attorney General from each state issue a request for the secretary of State to validate all and any future candidate’s filed papers and may the Sec of State stand firm with this small change. I don’t know if this would work in every state but at least I’m proposing a possible idea.
If you notice the letter presented from Goodlatte speaks of an oversight committee perhaps the other option is to find out who sets on this special oversight committee
and ask Corsi to assemble a team of experts and present the information to push this issue.
In closing one of the polls showed just a few days ago that clearly 54% of the american people still have doubts even after Obama released his long form.
If the people can’t expose this and get this particular committee to act and remove this man from office then something is wrong.
I’ll call Goodlattes office on Monday and leave the details of the committee he mentioned in the letter. I’ll also contact the writer of this article and provide the same.
Thanks for the article and to those who are still concerned.
Well Michelle Obama stated clearly they visited the country of Obamas birth and named Kenya. That’s what she said and you can find it on youtube and you can clearly hear Michelle state they visited the country of his birth… End of story.
Thank you Mr. Goodlatte. Your courage is exceptional. I wonder you actually drafted the letter, but apparently you signed it. More courage than any of my own congressmen and women have shown. Please be a leader in this movement. Please lead the way to the truth.
Mr. Obama, Congress, and too many Americans seem to have forgotten, Mr. Obama as well as the Congress works for US. WE pay the salaries, WE are the employers, and we set the standards of employment for the President and Congress. WE have both the right and the obligation to DEMAND proof of eligibility, not only of future employees, but of present employees as well. The situation is no different than any employer who demands periodic drug tests. It’s their right and it’s our right to demand Obama show his documents and it’s our right to see them now. If they are not forthcoming, it is our right and obligation to FIRE him as well as enforce applicable laws and JAIL him. If fraudulently elected, he does not deserve impeachment and the usual accession to the presidency is null and void as are all bills, executive orders, and appointments signed by his hand.
Please Mr. Goodlatte, please speak for your consituents. Speak for America.
Obama, the man, is as phony as his birth certificate. We all must press our representatives to initiate a congressional investigation into his background and demand proof of his eligibility to hold office. When it is found that he has perpetrated the greatest fraud ever attempted upon the American people, he should be tried, convicted and punished accordingly. Michelle can always get a job that is suited to her skills … welfare recipient.

If Our Founders of Our Constitution wanted to allow simply for a “native” born citizen to be President they would have stated so…….Dan
Many say that ‘natural born Citizen’ is not defined. Some {I} say it is defined as the framers intended. They did not create a formal term and leave it out of the document. ‘Citizen’ IS formally defined – THAT IS WHY IT IS CAPITALIZED. [A proper noun refers to "a specific entity or person," as opposed to "an unspecified member of a class of objects."] Any lawyer or paralegal or anyone who reads lots of contracts knows this. “Citizen” [meant] “a Citizen of one of the States.”
So the definition and intent of the founders is abundantly clear. A ‘natural born Citizen’ is a Citizen who is a citizen only through inherent, standard, non-artificial means and has remained that way since birth.

It is NOT spelled “natural-born citizen”, “natural born citizen” or any other version. It is spelled, natural born Citizen.
Article II, section 1, clause 5, the word Citizen is spelled with a Capital “C” not a small cap “c”. There were two classes of citizens at that time, State & Federal. The word “Citizen” & “Citizens” is used 11 times in the VII Articles of Our Constitution. (It is used 2x in the XI Amendment and 1x in The Declaration of Independence)
The word, “citizen” (small cap) was not even written in the Articles of Our Constitution.
The word “citizens” did not appear until the 14th Amendment, and was used 7 times in all 27 Amendments.
Lets go to Article I, section 2 concerning the Qualifications requisite for Electors. clause 2:
No Person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the Age of twenty five Years, and been seven Years a Citizen of the United States,…….
Then there is, Article I, section 3, clause 3….
No Person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty Years, and been nine Years a Citizen of the United States…….
Now lets go to the “Article” that started all this mess.
Article II, section 1, clause 5.
No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
Notice the difference in the requirements, seven Years a Citizen, nine Years a Citizen, and then specifically a “natural born Citizen”.
Article I, allows that a “foreigner” who has become a Citizen by means of “swearing an Oath of Allegiance” to Our Country as a naturalized citizen.
The 14th Amendment changed the spelling of Citizen to citizen (small cap “c”), which allowed for children born on Our soil of Foreign parents to be called a citizen, subject to the jurisdiction thereof. This allows for “dual” citizenship to those countries who accept that. Some countries do not accept “dual” citizenship such as Indonesia.

That its main purpose was to establish the citizenship of the negro can admit of no doubt. The phrase, “subject to its jurisdiction” was intended to exclude from its operation children of ministers, consuls, and citizens or subjects of foreign States born within the United States.
Obama admits he was born a British subject, as his (supposed) father was never a u.s. citizen. If true, He is not a “natural born Citizen”. IF he was born in Hawaii, he would only be a “native born citizen”, if he was born in Kenya his mother was to young to confer “any” citizenship onto him. . We do not know this factually yet, as no Legal records are available)
I hope this “helps”…..Dan, NY

Great information thanks. There might not be any direct evidence that Kenya was the place of birth. However, his own wife admits to it here.
