Birth Certificate Vs. Certification Of Live Birth

July 17, 2009 · carl · Print This Article

We just did a story bringing to light how the U.S. Army revoked the orders of a Major scheduled to deploy to Afghanistan after he filed a lawsuit claiming that the deployment would be illegal due to the fact that Barack Obama has failed to produce a birth certificate, therefore he has not proven his eligibility to be Commander-In-Chief.

To say that we started a firestorm would be putting it mildly.

We had our fair share of rational responses, as well as the usual off-topic comments, accusations of being right-wing nuts, etc.
As well as a few that were too obscene to put into print.

It turns out that our theory that the document presented by Obama appears to be homemade has some support, in that it seems that there is a difference between a “Certification of Live Birth” as opposed to a “Certificate of Live Birth.”

Our friend Pamela at Atlas Shrugs also presents a compelling case that the document presented as proof that Obama is a natural-born American citizen is indeed a forgery.

And for you Obamanites who claim that there is no difference between a Certification of Live Birth and a Birth Certificate, we, as well as the State of Hawaii, would have to disagree with you.

Pay close attention to the following Hawaiian legal statute:

“[§338-17.8]  Certificates for children born out of State. 
(a)  Upon application of an adult or the legal parents of a minor child, the director of health shall issue a birth certificate for such adult or minor, provided that proof has been submitted to the director of health that the legal parents of such individual while living without the Territory or State of Hawaii had declared the Territory or State of Hawaii as their legal residence for at least one year immediately preceding the birth or adoption of such child.
(b)  Proof of legal residency shall be submitted to the director of health in any manner that the director shall deem appropriate.  The director of health may also adopt any rules pursuant to chapter 91 that he or she may deem necessary or proper to prevent fraudulent applications for birth certificates and to require any further information or proof of events necessary for completion of a birth certificate.
(c)  The fee for each application for registration shall be established by rule adopted pursuant to chapter 91. [L 1982, c 182, §1]”

Everybody get that?

As long as an adult can walk into Hawaii’s version of the Department of Records and provide proof that they are a legal resident of Hawaii, the document is issued.

The child, on the other hand, could have been born in Hawaii, Kenya, or a back-alley in Budapest.

How much more proof do you disciples of the Messiah need before you will admit that there are legitimate reasons to demand answers on this issue?

Of course the fact that Obama may have been elected to our nation’s highest office in direct violation of the United States Constitution is not something that would greatly trouble a dedicated Kool-Aid drinker.

    Haha ha…I knew you would be all over this one..I myself had started a firestorm on this subject as well.

    January 21, 2009, Obama signed Executive Order 13489. This order was entered into the Federal Register on January 26, 2009.

    What this executive order says, is that only the Attorney General (Eric Holder) and Council to the President, (Gregory Craig) are able to review presidential records requests and determine if they can be made public or not. (See Section 3)

    In other words, you aren’t going to see any records or documents that Obama doesn’t want you to see….

    It shouldn’t surprise anyone that Obama’s first official act was to deny access to his records. Obama has lived for 48 years without leaving any footprints — none! There is no Obama documentation — no bona fides — no paper trail — nothing.

    I have a list of all the documents that have been asked for and not received..licenses, college records…ect…

    if this becomes a trend I don’t see how Obama and his three laws firms can keep these documents sealed. How do they allow this and continue to deny access to these papers?
    But who know with this Administration we already know he and his czars don’t answer to the American people.

    What we have here is a alleged president that would rather disband our soldiers than produce the legitimate documents required by our Constitution to prove eligibility to hold this office…well does this surprise anyone?

    When are people going to wake up to the fact that they have elected a criminal to the highest office in the land and his intentions for this country are to his interest and his radical ideology of what this country should be.

    Thank you Carl..your the best!!!

    Erica
    As always, thanks for the support.
    And a special thanks for the heads-up regarding the Executive Order, which will be the subject of tomorrow’s article.

    As far as being the best, I don’t know about that.

    I think I’m in the top three though.

    Thank You again.

    So my question is: President Joe Biden?

    That is the result you are pressing for here correct?

    Salvaterra AKA Publius on July 17th, 2009 1:53 pm

    The result we are pressing for here is for the Constitution to be upheld.

    JustMe on July 17th, 2009 2:01 pm

    @Salvaterra

    That may be, but it would have been nice if those pressing now would also demand the previous administration’s violations of the Constitution be immediately investigated and prosecuted. I believe the Constitutional requirements have been upheld. You do not. Perfectly acceptable. But to selectively decide this part of the Constitution must be upheld at all costs while ignoring the gross violations previously committed makes your principles seem suspiciously selective.

    Salvaterra AKA Publius on July 17th, 2009 3:04 pm

    @JustMe
    I know you and many other liberals are dying to bring George Bush back into this subject. The fact that you are not being specific only shows that you want to turn this into a big debate about old issues that do not involve the problems of Obama that are going on right now. It isn’t going to work on me. You can see how long this blog has been around by visiting our archives.

    smrstrauss on July 17th, 2009 6:29 pm

    Re: “[§338-17.8]

    That was passed in 1982, more than twenty years after Obama’s birth. When Obama was born Hawaii could not file a foreign birth certificate in a Hawaii birth certificate file. There is an original birth certificate (not a late birth certificate or a certificate of Hawaiian birth) in the file. Therefore the original document in the file is from Hawaii.

    Then why doesn’t Obama post the original? Because Hawaii no longer sends out copies of the original. http://www.starbulletin.com/features/20090606_kokua_line.html

    And that means that unless Obama has a copy of the original, saved by his family from the time of birth and not lost by him (and many of us do lose our birth certificates), the only thing that he can show is the document that Hawaii sent him, and Hawaii sends out only the short-form certification. This is, however, the legal birth certificate of Hawaii, accepted by all the departments in Hawaii as proof of birth in Hawaii (Yes, including DHHL, I checked) and it is accepted as proof of birth in the United States by the US State Department for issuing passports.

    There are numerous questions we all would like to see answered, the trouble is getting enough people to start asking them.

    Jay on July 28th, 2009 7:49 pm

    In regards to smrstrauss on 338-17.8 Yes it was passed in 1982. Why then does it say territory or state of Hawaii? Hawaii was not a territory in 1982. It was a state. Just curious.

    Twitchy on July 29th, 2009 1:00 am

    Jay,

    Because the first words are “Upon application of an adult”. There’s no time limit on how long after the birth you can apply.

    However, the birth certificate will still state the actual place of birth, and will state the actual Date Filed. Since Obama’s CoLB states the record of birth was filed in 1961, this statute clearly does not apply in his case.

    And there is a difference between a Certificate of Live Birth and a Certification of Live Birth, but it’s not what these bozos think it is. A Certificate of Live Birth is a source document. A Certification of Live Birth is an abstract of the information on the Certificate, and certifies that that information comes from the Certificate filed with the state.

    The state doesn’t store a Certification as a source document. It issues it when someone requests a copy of their birth certificate, based on the Certificate they do have stored.

    Jeff on July 29th, 2009 9:00 pm

    Just curious, would you guys be going crazy over John McCain if he was president? Because, guess what? He wasn’t born in the US. This whole thing is ridiculous. Sorry your guy didn’t win.

    carl on July 30th, 2009 8:48 am

    Jeff
    Guess what?

    You have no idea what the hell you are talking about.

    McCain not being born in the U.S. is not a factor because his father was on active duty in the military at the time.

    So before you start whining that you are sorry our guy didn’t win, try and get your facts straight next time.

    Visit your local library, they have these wonderful things called books.

    Jeff on July 30th, 2009 9:29 am

    >McCain not being born in the U.S. is not a factor because his father >was on active duty in the military at the time.

    Oh, so it says in the Constitution that if your father is in the active military, it means your a Natural Born Citizen? Hey, it’s not like I would complain or anything, but if you guys want to be sticklers, McCain was not eligible under your strict guidelines.

    So, maybe try to check your facts

    http://lawprofessors.typepad.com/immigration/2008/02/is-john-mccain.html

    carl on July 30th, 2009 11:57 am

    Jeff
    Let’s clear up a few minor details.

    One, we were talking about Obama, not McCain.

    Two, it’s not our strict guidelines, it is the CONSTITUTION’s strict giudelines.

    Three, it is common knowledge (don’t take our word for it, write to your Congressman and ask him) that children that are born outside of the U.S. when one or both parents are on active duty military service are considered to be natural born U.S. citizens.

    I have a nephew with big political ambitions who was born in Japan when his father was in the Air Force, my brother-in-law did make this inquiry of his Congressman and was assured that, under federal law, the boy would be eligible to run for President.

    Four, to be considered a “natural born citizen” both of your parents have to be U.S. citizens.
    Obama has never proven that both of his parents were U.S. citizens at the time of his birth.
    Both of Mccain’s parents were, that pretty much puts and end to that.

    Last of all, McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone in 1936, long before Jimmy Carter relinquished American control of the canal.

    Earlier in the nineteenth century, Congress enacted a law that stated that anyone born in the Republic of Panama or the Canal Zone after 1904 were automatically considered natural born U.S. citizens.

    Hope this clears thing up for you.

    Jeff on July 30th, 2009 2:27 pm

    >Three, it is common knowledge (don’t take our word for it, write >to your Congressman and ask him) that children that are born >outside of the U.S. when one or both parents are on active duty >military service are considered to be natural born U.S. citizens.

    this is not a fact. You’re confusing US Citizen with “Natural Born” citizen.

    >I have a nephew with big political ambitions who was born in >Japan when his father was in the Air Force, my brother-in-law >did make this inquiry of his Congressman and was assured >that, under federal law, the boy would be eligible to run for >President.

    If you made the inquiry, than you must have not known right? Your Congressman was misinformed. This is not a fact. Although, your nephew doesn’t have anything to worry about, because nobody adheres to such strict definitions. But, it has never been clarified, you can look it up yourself.

    >Four, to be considered a “natural born citizen” both of your >parents have to be U.S. citizens.

    Absolutely, positively NOT a fact. This is a total fabrication actually. Not sure where you got this one from.

    >Last of all, McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone in 1936, >long before Jimmy Carter relinquished American control of the >canal.

    Territory does not equal “State” (ie NOT United States). The legality of natural born status in Panama was actually clarified by the Pentagon.

    >Earlier in the nineteenth century, Congress enacted a law that >stated that anyone born in the Republic of Panama or the Canal >Zone after 1904 were automatically considered natural born U.S. >citizens.

    Naturalized (ie US citizen) Not “Natural Born.” Natural Born has never been defined beyond being born within the US states. Even if Obama was born in Kenya (he wasn’t, he was born in Hawaii), he is a “naturalized” citizen as well.

    Hope this clears things up for you.

    Twitchy on July 30th, 2009 2:31 pm

    carl,

    Two, it’s not our strict guidelines, it is the CONSTITUTION’s strict giudelines.

    The Constitution has “strict guidelines” about what “natural born citizen” means?

    Three, it is common knowledge (don’t take our word for it, write to your Congressman and ask him) that children that are born outside of the U.S. when one or both parents are on active duty military service are considered to be natural born U.S. citizens.

    Four, to be considered a “natural born citizen” both of your parents have to be U.S. citizens.

    Aren’t you contradicting yourself there? First, “one or both”, then “both” only.

    Earlier in the nineteenth century, Congress enacted a law that stated that anyone born in the Republic of Panama or the Canal Zone after 1904 were automatically considered natural born U.S. citizens.

    “Earlier in the nineteenth century”, i.e. 1800s, and “after 1904″, don’t compute. ;)

    Twitchy on July 30th, 2009 2:34 pm

    Jeff,
    There are only two types of U.S. citizen: Natural born, native-born, citizen-at-birth (different names for the same thing), and naturalized.

    Jeff on July 30th, 2009 2:36 pm

    Carl- One more thing.

    I don’t think “common knowledge” should really be considered relevant in this discussion if you’re going to really be sticklers about everything. It is also “common knowledge” that Obama was born in Hawaii and that because he has provided his Certification of Birth, there exists a source Birth Certificate showing that he was born there too. Sure, “common knowledge” is good enough for me, but I was under the assumption that you guys didn’t think this was good enough right?

    carl on July 30th, 2009 4:24 pm

    @Jeff and Twitchy

    Guys, the fact remains we can stay here till hell freezes over, I’m not going to change your mind, and you aren’t going to change mine.

    I don’t see how John McCain became a topic of this discussion anyway. and I really don’t care.

    And I have better things to do than keep going over the same thing over and over again.

    I am not going to spend the rest of my life on this one topic, I am not the “Birther” you think I am.

    And contrary to what you may think, although our political ideologies differ, I truly would not want to see Obama removed from office under that circumstance, the chaos that would result is too horrible to imagine.

    If it makes you feel any better, you can say NAH NAH, we made him give up.

    I have moved on to the health care reform bill, the slide in Obama’s approval ratings, the “cash for clunkers” program, and a host of other issues which have much more significance to the future of this country.

    So call it whatever you want, but I don’t have the time to keep arguing back and forth on this, if you want to continue to do so, that’s up to you, but maybe you should consider some of the other problems facing America.

    HaHa – of course, even if Obama’s parents had done this, your thesis is belied bt the fact that his Certification of Live Birth states that he was born in HONOLULU.

    Also, this particular statute was adopted AFTER he was born.

    yo0man on August 4th, 2009 8:23 am

    thats not what it says. it says that you have to prove that the parents lived in hawaii for a year before the kid was born in order to get a birth certificate.

    this is why obama cant get one. because his parents didnt live there for a year…

    Twitchy on August 4th, 2009 11:36 pm

    I spent way too much time myself trying to find out why the 44th President’s short form is a “Certification of Live Birth” whereas mine is a “Certificate of Live Birth” (our births were approximately four months apart) but there doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to why the State of Hawai’i issues both. Claims that the
    State of Hawai’i no longer issues a “Certificate of Live Birth” are not true since both my long form (original) and short form (issued to me in 2009) have the same “Certificate of Live Birth” title. I thought that state forms were standard but apparently not. Is there anyone else out there besides our 44th President who was born in Hawai’i in 1961 that was issued a “Certification of Live Birth” instead of a “Certificate of Live Birth”? I’ve yet to see, hear or read of one.

    Given the discrepancy and the lack of information of the short form document provided by the Obama campaign, combined with the lack of coopertation by the current occupants of the White House to comply with United States Code, Title 44, Chapter 22: “Presidential Records”, ensures that, unless the long form Birth
    Certificate is produced, the controversy will not go away.

    Twitchy on February 17th, 2010 8:52 am

    The Certificate of Live Birth, up until 2001, was the original document filed with the State of Hawaii. When you asked for an official copy of your BC, you got a copy of the Certificate. The Certification of Live Birth is an official abstract from the records of the State of Hawaii. It doesn’t matter when you were born; according to the Hawaiian Department of Health, all they issue now is the Certification of Live Birth, at least partly because they haven’t created a Certificate of Live Birth since 2001, when the whole process became electronic, with no paper forms.

    As to why both your original long form and recent short form BC have the “Certificate of Live Birth” title, I can think of three possibilities:
    1. You’re lying.
    2. You can’t read.
    3. The mass of BS on the issue has persuaded the Hawaiian DoH to change title of the short form.

    Given your statement about “United States Code, Title 44, Chapter 22: ‘Presidential Records’”, I’m inclined to think it’s #2. According to Title 44, Chapter 22, § 2201(2)(B)(ii) “[The term “Presidential records...does not include any documentary materials that are...] personal records;”
    § 2201(3) contains a definition of “personal records” which makes it clear that his BC does not fall under the authority of Chapter 22.

    However, the fact that no one has published on the web anything called a “Certificate of Live Birth” that was issued by the DoH since 2001, despite the many dedicated and completely wacko birthers out there frantically searching for one is an indication that #1 might be right.

    Isn’t it time you got on with life? We wrote some articles in July of last year examining this topic, haven’t really touch on it since, yet at the time you left dozens of comments, and now you are back.
    You’ve had nothing to say about any topic we have touched on since then.
    Any particular reason why?

    ShadowPatriot on March 2nd, 2010 3:44 am

    This is an issue that should have been resolved before-hand, the way it’s supposed to according to POTUS. Since the idiot career politicians in Washington never really did their job and request the ORIGINAL birth certificate, we can thank their corrupt asses for giving us this “conspiracy”. He’s lied to us about his religion (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18VOGykrgHo), and he’s lied to us about numerous other things.

    This issue is too important to be clogging the internet with false data. The foundation of our country has been compromised. Save your jokes and URL hits for April Fools.

    The list of documents he’s refused to provide is alarming. No other president has been so secretive of their past. To list just a few:

    1.) Selective Service Registration
    2.) Occidental College Transcripts
    3.) Columbia College Transcripts
    4.) Harvard College Transcripts
    5.) Passport (s) Indonesia or Kenyan or British
    6.) Grade School records
    7.) College loan / scholarship records.
    8.) Harvard Law Review articles he wrote.

    It’s very convenient that his entire family is either dead or caged up in a third world country. Funny also how there are conflicting reports about which hospital he was born in. Wouldn’t the hospital that birthed the first “Black” president be proud and share this fact with the world? Who really is Barry Soetoro? I for one will not believe any word that comes out of Obama’s mouth because he’s lied about almost everything that he campaigned on. The only thing he didn’t lie about was that he was going to bring “change” to America. Well, look what the sheeple who elected him gave us: billions in bailouts, government take-over of healthcare (as well as a giant power-grab for the federal government), he didn’t end the war in Iraq, he hasn’t ended the war in Afghanistan, all we get is more spending, and more added onto the federal deficit. Is this the change you Obamaites wanted?! Look what you got. This usurper has spent more money than all first year presidents (http://blog.heritage.org/2009/03/24/bush-deficit-vs-obama-deficit-in-pictures/ ) and he’s nothing but a liar (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_Z5KZ42GXw). Now, while some of you will continue on bickering back and forth that it’s all “out of context” or make up some sort of excuse as to why he “fibbed”, the fact of the matter is he is a LIAR. Who the HELL want’s a liar for a President?! Our Founding Fathers are rolling in their graves right now, knowing that we allowed our country to turn into a socialistic-cesspot of people wanting handouts for nothing. They worked themselves to death, in an almost literal sense, and many died giving us the country we live in now. What would they think if they knew how many atrocities we’ve allowed our rogue government to commit? What would they say to us lazing about, carrying on about our “care-free” lives not worrying about what our government says, or does, even if the government covertly takes our freedoms away.

    I’m done ranting. Those of you who still believe we live in the land of the free are living in a dream. Wake up to reality and realize that the very government we trusted has been lying to us and manipulating us for years. I thank God for opening my eyes and helping me to see just how corrupt our country has become, and I prepare everyday for the coming storm. Oh there’s “change” coming all right. But it’s going going to be the “change” you will regret for the rest of your lives. I’m ready, locked and loaded, and will fight for my freedoms the same way our Founding Fathers fought for them.

    @ ShadowPatriot

    Yet another birther, clogging the internet with false data.

    “This is an issue that should have been resolved before-hand, the way it’s supposed to according to POTUS.”

    What does that mean? There is no established “the way it’s supposed to”. And what does “according to POTUS” refer to?

    “Since the idiot career politicians in Washington never really did their job and request the ORIGINAL birth certificate,”

    As previously mentioned, you can’t get a copy of the “ORIGINAL birth certificate” from Hawaii anymore, and there isn’t any need for it. The Certification of Live Birth suffices for all official purposes, despite the wild and wacky rumors put forth by the ignorami. And, since no one’s come up with any actual facts or evidence to refute it, any court has no choice but to accept the CoLB as proof of his being an NBC.

    “He’s lied to us about his religion (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18VOGykrgHo),

    You are gullible, aren’t you.

    “and he’s lied to us about numerous other things.”

    Just like almost every other politician around the world.

    “The list of documents he’s refused to provide is alarming. No other president has been so secretive of their past. To list just a few:”

    What do any of those have to do with his eligibility for the presidency? Particularly the ones that there’s no evidence that they ever existed, like the passports.

    “Funny also how there are conflicting reports about which hospital he was born in.”

    Funny, I don’t recall that being much of a topic of conversation when I grew up. If I didn’t have the souvenir birth certificate the hospital gave my parents when I was born, I wouldn’t have a clue which hospital I was born in. Not that it matters any. I’ve never been back there.

    “Wouldn’t the hospital that birthed the first “Black” president be proud and share this fact with the world?”

    That’s protected health information, subject to HIPAA privacy restrictions. And it’s likely that the hospital doesn’t have any record of it, after over 40 years.

    “I for one will not believe any word that comes out of Obama’s mouth because he’s lied about almost everything that he campaigned on.”

    And you expected any different? How does that make him any different from at least 90% of all the elected politicians in our history? Probably including your Congressman and both your Senators.

    “Well, look what the sheeple who elected him gave us: billions in bailouts,”

    Which Bush started.

    “government take-over of healthcare (as well as a giant power-grab for the federal government),”

    What government takeover? And the only power grab is as a lackey of the health insurance companies.

    “Who the HELL want’s a liar for a President?!”

    Who was the last president we had who wasn’t a liar?

    “Our Founding Fathers are rolling in their graves right now, knowing that we allowed our country to turn into a socialistic-cesspot of people wanting handouts for nothing.”

    That’s been going on since long before Obama. And both parties have been just as guilty of trying to buy votes with bread and circuses.

    “What would they say to us lazing about, carrying on about our “care-free” lives not worrying about what our government says, or does, even if the government covertly takes our freedoms away.”

    I assume that one of the things you’re talking about is the Patriot Act.

    Shredder on March 16th, 2010 3:36 am

    Someone said that Hawaii no longer sends out the original birth certificate. THAT IS FALSE. The state of Hawaii will not release a copy of the original without Obama’s approval. You can still get a copy of the original if you request it. He simply refuses to do that.

    I believe we have been sold out. What a great plan to fraud us all. This should go into our History Books.

    @Shredder,

    If “THAT IS FALSE”, then where are the recent copies of original Hawaiian BCs? There must be hundreds, or thousands, if you can still get them. Why hasn’t anybody posted images of them?

    @Robert,

    Have you got ANY evidence, or facts, to support your ‘belief’?

    “We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.” Abraham Lincoln

    This statement was never more evident than in this present day and time. There is nothing more precious in life than life itself, life given to us by our Creator. As God is Sovereign, we also have individual sovereignty, giving us rights and privilege. It is how we live our lives that sum up the sovereignty and character of this nation. We do not resend our individual sovereignty when we the people elect someone from our ranks to represent us in government. We only extend our individual sovereignty combined with the individual sovereignty of others and lend it to our elected official to represent us, to do the will of the people, not to do as they will… It is time for every citizen to lay claim to and demand your rights and privileges by the authority of God to take this nation back from the brink of death and destruction and raise our banners of freedom and liberty. It is time to raise up a standard of faith and righteousness in government. The wisdom of “Our Founding Fathers” saw this day and warned us of the desires of evil men.
    This is a quote by Thomas Paine from his writings “The Rights of Man”. http://s3.amazonaws.com/manybooks_pdfLRG/painethoetext03twtp210pdfLRG.pdf
    When I contemplate the natural dignity of man, when I feel (for Nature has not been kind enough to me to blunt my feelings) for the honor and happiness of its character, I become irritated at the attempt to govern mankind by force and fraud, as if they were all knaves and fools, and can scarcely avoid disgust at those who are thus imposed upon. We have now to review the governments which arise out of society, in contradistinction to those which arose out of superstition and conquest. It has been thought a considerable advance towards establishing the principles of Freedom to say that Government is a compact between those who govern and those who are governed; but this cannot be true, because it is putting the effect before the cause; for as man must have existed before governments existed, there necessarily was a time when governments did not exist, and consequently there could originally exist no governors to form such a compact with.
    The fact therefore must be that the individuals themselves, each in his own personal and sovereign right, entered into a compact with each other to produce a government: and this is the only mode in which governments have a right to arise, and the only principle on which they have a right to exist. To possess ourselves of a clear idea of what government is, or ought to be, we must trace it to its origin. In doing this we shall easily discover that governments must have arisen either out of the people or over the people…… an opportunity of pursuing the subject with respect to governments arising out of society. But it will be first necessary to define what is meant by a Constitution. It is not sufficient that we adopt the word; we must fix also a standard signification to it.
    A constitution is not a thing in name only, but in fact. It has not an ideal, but a real existence; and wherever it cannot be produced in a visible form, there is none. A constitution is a thing antecedent to a government, and a government is only the creature of a constitution. The constitution of a country is not the act of its government, but of the people constituting its government. It is the body of elements, to which you can refer, and quote article by article; and which contains the principles on which the government shall be established, the manner in which it shall be organized, the powers it shall have, the mode of elections, the duration of Parliaments, or by what other name such bodies may be called; the powers which the executive part of the government shall have; and in fine, everything that relates to the complete organization of a civil government, and the principles on which it shall act, and by which it shall be bound. A constitution, therefore, is to a government what the laws made after wards by that government are to a court of judicature. The court of judicature does not make the laws, neither can it alter them; it only acts in conformity to the laws made: and the government is in like manner governed by the constitution.

    The Constitution of the United States of America is our individual sovereignty made manifest. Our Federal Government has been rough shod by out of control, power hungry career politicians who have distorted and maligned it’s principles not on which was established, but have aligned themselves with factions and special interest determined to do harm and destruction to the people of this great nation. They have sold their souls to their father “Satan” who comes to steal, to kill and destroy.
    We have a choice. This is what distinguishes man from beast. “Free-will.” Choice… Choose wisely the path before you, for the decisions we make today will decide our future. We as a free people can not stand back and let apathy consume us. We must stand firm on what we know is just and true. We have come to far as those who came before us who bled and died to give us the freedom to stand, and stand firm we must, and when we have done all humanly possible, stand.
    Barak Hussein Obama came to make change, and transformation. He and the Democrat controlled Congress have devised every evil scheme imaginable to destroy the very framework of our society. They along with previous administrations have all but destroyed our monetary system and our economy. They have led and are leading this nation into a world without hope. We still have hope, but hope deferred makes the heart sick. Recently Barak Hussein Obama stated before the world that this is not a “Christian Nation.” According to George Barna and his group of pollsters: 86% of Americans claim to be born again. (yeah right) I would agree with BHO that we are NOT a Christian nation. We were founded as a Christian nation in that our form of government will NOT work in or with religion. Christianity is not a religion… Religion is mans poor attempt to attain favor and acceptance from God. Christianity, is Gods outreach to mankind through Jesus, by way of the cross. For no man comes unto the Father but by “Him.” But we have forgotten our Lord and it has caused all kinds of calamity to say the least. I believe as do many, that Barak Hussein Obama is an illegitimate citizen to say the least. He is not natural born and is not therefore entitled to hold the office of President outlined in our Constitution. As mandated by the U.S. Constitution’s Article II, Section 1 the holder of the office of President must be “natural born”. I believe as do many, that Barak Hussein Obama is a muslim and the judgment on us is that we elected him to lead us. God have mercy on our poor stupid sinful selves. BHO is doing what any muslim would do in his position: Take down the Great SATAN!!!
    As of yesterday, April 14, 2010: Lt. Col. Terry Lakin is to be court-martialed for refusing orders to deploy to Afghanistan. LTC Terry Lakin has tried in vain to get the same verification from our President that he has been asked to provide countless times in his career, for many jobs, and to obtain a security clearance for the trusted positions he has held within the U.S. Armed Forces. He has put his life on the line all over the world and served with honor, and will be glad to do so again, but only under a Commander in Chief he knows is legally eligible to lead. LTC Lakin has questioned the President’s “natural born” status, as mandated by the U.S. Constitution’s Article II, Section 1. After a year of seeking answers, he has not received a definitive response either from the Department of Defense or from his Congressional delegation that would assure him of the President’s Constitutional eligibility. http://www.safeguardourconstitution.com/ This is a travesty to say the least that one of our Hero’s are forced to carry out orders from our illegitimate commander in chief… I urge you to contact you elected officials in Washington and your State Representatives and demand accountability.
    This can be a “Christian Nation” again, so let the redeemed of the Lord say so! “If my people, which are called by my name, (Christian) shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” Don’t give up hope.
    “Where is that shining city on a hill?” “Righteousness exalteth a nation; but sin is a reproach to any people.” What happened to “In God We Trust?” For it is written; “Great is the nation whose God is the Lord.” “Today I lay before you life and death, blessing and cursing; choose life.”

    I think it is time to Fire Congress and remove from office this vile and abhorrent person, and elect those among us who will do our bidding and the will of the Lord Jesus Christ… And restore this nation to our rightful heritage.

    “The state of Hawaii will not release a copy of the original without Obama’s approval. You can still get a copy of the original if you request it. He simply refuses to do that.”

    Actually there’s hardly a state in the union that won’t release a birth certificate of any person, unless the person
    (1)is you
    (2)was born 75 years ago
    (3)is your mother or father
    (4)is your legal guardian
    (5)is your spouse

    What’s Obama supposed to do? Have a copy sent to every birther nut who wants one?

    billclinton on May 3rd, 2010 5:10 pm

    B.O. has now spent $2,000,000 on lawyers to fight attempts to release his long form birth certificate.

    That is a lot of money to avoid releasing a birth certificate. No one in their right mind would do such a thing unless there was something that just had to remain hidden.

    Well, needless to say, B.O. has something BIG to hide from from his fellow Americans. Scratch that….he has something to hide from us Americans.

    Have you seen the picture of the sign that Kenya is saying that Obama is from there.
    If you email me I can upload it to you.

    Will Smith on May 7th, 2010 11:34 pm

    You people (it feels so good to say that in this context) have been telling us for years to “get over it! Our President may fail, he may die in office of natural causes, or at the hands of some sorry, sick and bigoted fool; but, the office that we won, hands down, won’t be taken away from him, or from those of us who supported him, because he was or wasn’t born in the United States. If current projections prove true, people like you will, thank God, be in the minority in less than a generation. And it won’t be a decade too soon, for the rest of us. So, get over it, people! Just get over it!!!

    Sean on May 8th, 2010 1:09 pm

    @Carl
    Please cite where in the constitution it says children of military members, born outside the united states, are natural born citizens.

    @everyone else
    Please cite evidence that Obama was not born in Hawaii

    Thank you

    Who was the GOP Senator that said Americans are stupid? I don’t tend to agree too much with the GOP, but maybe he was right. You people need to get a life and fast?

    Steve on May 11th, 2010 2:25 am

    Just because the birth certificate can be gamed as you indicate, does not mean it actually was. At some point you have to accept that a document that the U.S. government has always accepted as being valid is valid.

    I’d like to point out:

    1. The Constitution does not specifiy what is required to prove citizenship.
    2. Proof of birth in the United States is a State matter.
    3. The Hawaii, a State, is officially saying that Obama was born in Hawaii.
    4. There is no credible evidence that Obama was not born in the U.S.

    Considering that under the law of the land, Obama is considered a U.S. Citizen by birth. In order to logically say that Obama is not a citizen you would have to have proof.

    Demanding a document that says “Birth Certificate” on it, does nothing for your cause. Since you have no authority on certifying who is a U.S. Citizen or not.
