'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."

I requested a copy of mine when this "controversy" arose and they said that the document they sent me (virtually identical to the document Obama has provided) was the only document on record as far as birth certificates go. It also had a "issued" date of 91 I believe, nowhere near the time I was born.

Its pretty clear to see I was disagreeing with your assertion that the president has to publicly show whatever it is you think he has to publicly show. Not the constitutional amendment explaining natural born citizen requirements.
Nice try though.

To comply with the Constitutional requirements, the President elect must demonstrate his eligibility.
If he didn't have to, the entire clause would be pointless.
If you can answer this question with a logical answer, I'll shut up:
Why would the framers of the constitution include a clause that said the president had to be natural born if they didn't expect any president to actually have to demonstrate this?

Nowhere in the constitution does it say that someone has to publicly reveal any kind of proof to the mainstream public. There are official channels that kind of information goes through, when those official channels deem the information satisfactory thats where the buck stops.
If you have a problem with the information, take it to the officials that deemed it satisfactory, and lynch them also. They would have to be involved, as well as a multitude of others.

Clearly you have failed to provide me with a logical rational answer to my question, because clearly it would be pointless for the framers to include the clause in the Constitution if they didn't intend for a president-elect to have to demonstrate his eligibility.
If the framers didn't expect a president to demonstrate his eligibility if it was questioned, they wouldn't have put the clause in the constitution. It would have been completely pointless.

I can see where you are coming from but it doesn't change the fact the new info comes out every week (or so).
Maybe we can focus on the new info for your interest? What is your thoughts on the Long Form B.C that apparently is available to people that were born the day before Obama but not after? Fluke? needs a little more digging? Or just let it go at what it is?
What do you think about a senior elections official from there saying he has personal knowledge and information as he was there at the time of election?
What do you think about NO hospital is able to verify with documentation and/or assestation that Obama was born in their hospital and by the help of what doctor?
Lets focus here and no bad mouth the thread because you don't like the topic. I'll wait.

People can claim it because B. Hussein hasn't provided us the information voluntarily.
Since the Constitution demands that the president be natural born, it is incumbent upon those running for office to provide proof of this publicly.
No HIPPA law can override the Constitution.
The Constitution is supposedly the supreme law of the land.

Wow! Really? Go look at your birth certificate again. Does it list the name of the hospital and the name and/or signature of the delivering doctor?
ALL birth certificates (short-form or long-form) should AT LEAST have the name of the hospital listed.
Show me: where on Obama's "birth certificate" is the name of the hospital or doctor?
...I'm waiting.
...Still waiting.

The only resolution to this matter is going to be the 2012 election. The states need to require Presidential candidates to present proof of citizenship. And I believe some have. So in 2012 Obama will have to give up the long form birth certificate and have a proper vetting.
Though if for some reason he fails the verification process that could cause interesting legal problems eh?
All laws and legal actions since 1-2009 become invalid. All federal judges put in power since that date would be kicked out of office and their rulings invalidated.
Now that would be a mess eh?
"They told us, 'We don't have a birth certificate for him,'" he said. "They told my supervisor, either by phone or by e-mail, neither one has a document that a doctor signed off on saying they were present at this man's birth."
"Anyone can get that [COLB]," said Adams. "They are normally given if you give birth at home or while traveling overseas. We have a lot of Asian population [in Hawaii]. It's quite common for people to come back and get that."
"In my professional opinion, [Obama] definitely was not born in Hawaii. I can say without a shadow of a doubt"
"His title was senior elections clerk in 2008," said Glen Takahashi, elections administrator for the City and County of Honolulu.
Takahashi also confirmed Adams' time frame at the office from spring until the month of August.
"We hire temporary workers, because we're seasonal," he said.
However, when WND asked Takahashi if the elections office could check on birth records, he said, "We don't have access to that kind of records. [There's] no access to birth records."
Adams responded, "They may say, 'We don't have access to that.' The regular workers don't, the ones processing ballots; but the people in administration do. I was the one overseeing the work of the people doing the balloting."
"I had direct access to the Social Security database, the national crime computer, state driver's license information, international passport information, basically just about anything you can imagine to get someone's identity," Adams explained. "I could look up what bank your home mortgage was in. I was informed by my boss that we did not have a birth record [for Obama]."
Timothy Adams:
Racism is going against Obama, except it isn't, no wait, it really is...no wait, we have to bring up the race issue because the real racists are too smart to do it...no wait, if you don't vote for a Daly Machine, corrupt, racist, islamist, liberal candidate, it's because you're racist...or not, we can't say, but of course we just did, because our chosen messiah is getting whipped like a hebrew slave child by a white woman from Alaska. Wait, I can't say that, it's racist, or is it? Looks like Hillary Clinton (who still had more votes) should have been the nominee. Democrats alienate their own membership by forcing agenda with Obama candidacy, the reason? Dems are overwhelmingly, still, racists...or not, SHUT UP AND RUN THE IDIOT YOU NOMINATED, SEE YOU AFTER NOVEMBER. Had all of us voting for your ticket, not now, oh wait, I guess that's cause we're all racists. FUBAR!@
