Presidential Birth Certificate Bill Gets a Co-Sponsor At Last

Rep. Bill Posey (R-Fla.) has a co-sponsor for his much-maligned bill that would require a birth certificate from presidential candidates.

“There’s nothing in the Constitution about what you do to show that you met the requirements and there is nothing in federal law,” Goodlatte said recently.

Goodlatte called the bill a “housekeeping” matter.

“It doesn’t have an impact on the outcome of the election [last year],” he said.

Ironically, the bill only requires “a copy of the candidate’s birth certificate,” which President Obama made public on his “Fight The Smears” Website last year.

Oh please !!!!!!!!There's more important fish to fry and don't be a sorry loser. It is time for change and change has come ,is coming and it is best to find a way to deal with it in a positive manner. No worries though,most people do not like change so you are not alone but learn to adapt.
On the other hand aren't you and your relatives immigrants yourselves????????

Old Russian saying…You can tell same lie 1000 time but not change truth!

In Russia government make media say what they want – even if lie.
In USA “mainstream media” try make government what they want – even if lie..
…..eventually they become same thing?!

Yea your right change is coming. It's starting with the government telling you what kind of cars you'll be able to drive and what cars you cant. The gas tax pays for road construction right? Infrastructure? Well when everyone is saving the planet by driving the government cars, where do you think the monies are going to come from. Idiots….your going to be paying for them thru carbon taxes…. And by the way…what do we burn to produce electricity???? Yea, fossil fuels… so more cars running on electric means more fossil fuels burning to make that electricity right? Or are wind farms going to cover the extra need?? Yea right, keep telling yourself that…. It's all a farse….and because we need change….oh boy are you going to get it…and by the time people wake up and realize this…well it will be really hard to undo the change that is sooooo good for us……Dont even get me started on our health care…..then you'll see the change…oh yes we can… when we have France and Euroupe telling us not to nationalize health care…well we should listen….yes we can……you people make me sick…..

I applaud you Don…. You are right on the money. If Igormarxo is actually in the U.S.A. he should be run out on a rail. We who make these comments aren't media people…..we're real Americans, and very concerned that our country is headed down the road that the USSR has and continues to travel. Go blow your smoke in the USSR …. we don't need you here.

Did anyone in congress see Obama's birth certificate? Was he born in Hawaii, Kenya or Malaysia?

Uh, no. Don't think Obama did anything with a “birth certificate” (other than have it sealed), and the famous “certification of live birth” was something he did not make “public” (other than scanned copies (plural?) floating around the web.

That's the whole controversy.

David, Suggest you do some homework and actually read up on the topic.

(No wonder journalism is dying. Sigh.)

Obama provided a Certificate of Live Birth. If you have a heart beat anyone can go to Hawaii and get one of these.

This bill would require a Birth Certificate.

Obama will have trouble providing a Birth Certificate.

His presidency will only last 4 years.

Scary to think we don't even know who this guy is, where he came from, who he is friends with, etc.

He really should be required now to show his brith certificate. For $13 he could do it yet he has spent millions fighting disclosure. Why?

Mr Redsmeal

I Igor am very concerned about America as well. It has been greatest nation on earth, but I Igor see it heading in direction of homeland.

Unless you Native American, someone in your family immigrant too. All these people come together, Native Ameri9can and immigrant to make America great.

I have a question on that “fight the smears' in it it states his Kenyan citizenship expired in Sept of 1984 How can he have a Kenyan citizenship why would it expire if he was born in Hawaii? Simple right off the “Fight the smears Website. why is that that way? why has no one caught onto this and said something
