The Presidents Birth Certificate

[tavonnahearns]

Does it really matter where he was born. Shouldn't this had been something checked before hewas elected to be in office.

I do not see the importance of it , do to he being the only president in history that EVER had to show proof of his birth certificate HMMMMMM....

YES--YES---YES IT MATTERS WHERE HE WAS BORN. What planet are you from??  YES--YES--YES--Those idiots within the Democratic Party should have vetted him and checked his birth and many other tings out---BEFORE he was ever allowed to run for the office of the President----and MOST DEFINATELY ----BEFORE they put him on the democratic ticket to run for the presidency against the Republican candidate.

Where did you get your MIS--INFORMATION that he is the ONLY ONE EVER to have to prove that he was natural born citizen of the United states, as required by the Constitution of the United States of America?? 

He is NOT the only one!!! John McCain was questioned about his elegibility, and he QUICKLY answered all the questions..

Granted it is important but when did Mccain quickly answer the q's? I don't recall this. He was born in Panama or whatever, so I always imagined this was also something that would become a dull conspiracy but never did.

Seriously, how did he get confirmed without one.  The constitution says you ahve to be a citizen.  I had to have one to get my driver's license and my govt clearance to work on teh census.

Why is this such an issue?

He's released it...twice, in long and short form. 

People always gotta be trippin' over something...

[Falconer02]

I have speculated that there's this really vague racist undertone with the people so occupied with it even after he released it.

Right and left wing extremists love to keep things stirred up.  It's politics and drama as usual.  Doesn't anyone on this planet have the logical thought process anymore?  This issue of where the President was born would have been revealed long before he was elected three years ago.  I guess Donald Trump finds life boring these days and has nothing else better to do and his payoff is more free media publicity.

 :dontknow:but it's pretty obvious ppl are starting to have lots of spare time.....

I think the issue is that it is a constitutional requirement that the president of our United States is a citizen.  If he can't provide proof ( and yes every president must) then perhaps our security is lacking and he may even be an invalid president.  That woudl be different from incompetent.  I can't believe that folks think it is not important.  Pay attenion or you may be brought to attention.

I can only speak for myself, but for a lot of people/family/friends I know, including myself, race does not matter.  What matters is where he is trying to take this country.  He said they would be "transparent" to the people, but that has not been quite the case.  What matters is the obvious intent to have government intrude more and more into our lives.  There are several other things, but I just want to make clear that not everyone is being racist toward this president, only what he is doing in that office.

And it WAS checked before he ever ran for president,  and it WAS determined he was in fact eligible to be president.  Just because his long form birth certificate wasn't public doesn't mean that government didn't verify it.  Get real.  Anyone who works for the government is subject to an extensive background, let alone someone trying to run for president.

It's not important because all of this was taken care of years ago.  The FBI, the Secret Service, and other government agencies all conduct extensive background checks before anyone is even allowed to run for president.

I agree with you - but not just the dems, the republicans are as much to blame. We have been dupped, no doubt about it We have set here in America
like a bucket of frogs in cold water placed on a fire, who will set here until we have been cooked. Only many of us are now jumping out of the hot water
and attempting to show others - while many are all ready cooked and can not see. But we can't stop trying.
we need to realize these elected officials [most all of them, have allowed this country to be sold into the enemy's hands] but it is not to late
if they will wake up, pay attention & get busy for real change to bring America back to her moral basics.
