I've reviewed lots of birth certificates in my practice. I've never reviewed a Hawaiian birth certificate. The format varies considerably from state to state and sometimes within counties of the state. I have no reason to question its authenticity because it is similar to birth certificates I've looked at from other jurisdictions. I'll leave it to others to draw their own conclusions.Gary R.

It's a sure bet that it doesn't say 'african.'<BR/><BR/>I'd rather him say he was opposed to producing a document containing an out-of-favor word than to simply give the impression of 'I don't have to prove my citzenship to you.'<BR/><BR/>Mercifully, the whole thing is now put to rest.

Isn't it really simple to just answer the question to shut up the accusers? It would be a great opportunity to show them up as grasping at straws. <BR/><BR/>What's so hard about producing a birth certificate? I'd do it just to show people how 'unfair' or 'petty' they were being. If, that is, I had one.

I didn't even say Obama was born abroad. Apparently you think he was. And the law you cite was different at the time of his birth than it is now, which is what is controlling in his case. At the time of his alleged birth, his mother had to reside in the US for a total of 10 years prior to the birth of the child, with five<BR/>of the years after the age of 14, if he was born abroad. We're told he was born in Hawaii. When a client comes into my office who has always lived in Indiana, I can assume he or she is a U.S. citizen, but until I am handed a birth certificate which proves it, USCIS won't accept that they are a U.S. citizen, even if the person has a social security number and has been filing federal income taxes for years. If a U.S. citizen applying to get an immigration benefit from our country is required to produce a birth certificate, then why shouldn't a person running for the highest office in the land. Besides, as I've already noted, he must be a natural born citizen to become President.Gary R.

Get the certificate out and end the discussion. Don't let this become an issue, each and everyone of us has had to prove our citizenship and it's not a big deal.<BR/><BR/>PeaceJeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07243079362504708235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-19233752606961235672008-06-11T18:32:00.000-05:002008-06-11T18:32:00.000-05:00I thought that you practice immigration law? If so, certainly you would know that Section 301(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act makes anyone who is born abroad to a US citizen parent who was present in the US for at least 5 years, 2 of which were after age 14, a US citizen at birth. <BR/><BR/>Ironically it's this same section of the INA, and not a non-binding Senate resolution, which makes John McCain a natural-born citizen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-28344381900879161242008-06-11T18:22:00.000-05:002008-06-11T18:22:00.000-05:00WIth the kind of terrorist threats we have going on here in America, well we just can't be too safe.<BR/><BR/>Obama's birth does seem to be in question here and if he can't produce a birth certificate the proves he is eligible for our top job, shouldn't we be worried about terrorism?<BR/><BR/>You gotta have a birth cert. to get a passport. It's not asking to much to have one to be president.<BR/><BR/>The fact that he doesn't produce the damned thing and get it over with, makes me highly suspect there is some real question about his true nationality.M Theoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01892309818226431745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-45838123829865379262008-06-11T17:24:00.001-05:002008-06-11T17:24:00.001-05:00Sorry, Obama fans. Let's not let the Constitution get in the way of your candidate's entitlement to the office. The Left was all over McCain's "natural born status" just a few months ago despite the painful sacrifices he made in service of his country. But now that your guy is asked to simply show us he is what he says he is, you scream bloody murder.Gary R.

Really? You're getting awfully desperate here. Now we're reduced to questioning his citizenship?<BR/><BR/>Why can't you just focus on the issues? His stances? His policies?

I think we should bring up (again) the fact that McCain was not born in ANY of the 50 states. If we press the issue of Obama producing a birth certificate, I think we should take a sharp legal eye to McCain's status to constitutional serve as the President.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
