In light of all this, is it too much for President-elect Obama to simply authorize the release of his birth documents and settle the matter
once and for all before any further harm comes to our Constitution.
Mr Marrs, “
in light of all this”? What is
this exactly? There are only speculations, hearsay and blog posts putting forward these
theories.
Barack Obama, or anyone else for that matter, isn’t under any legal obligation to release his birth certificate, at least until a Court requests him
to. And even when that happens I doubt his birth certificate would be released to the public, as it would probably be for review of the Court and
Judges only.
From Obama’s (and his campaign) point-of-view, these theories are all bunk, then why should he give in to these people’s demands when he doesn’t
have to?
Or, perhaps George W. Bush was right when, according to several credible accounts, he described the Constitution of the United States as "just
a goddamned piece of paper."
Obama hasn’t broken any law or violated the Constitution.
Even in the case of Obama not being eligible to be President, he isn’t President yet, and the Constitution already contemplates the possibility of
President elects not qualifying for the Office.
