Birth Debate.com Exclusive Is Obama An America? Or is his citizenship….
When Barack Obama started to become widely known early 2008, the topic of his natural birth place came into play. Soon, claims arose that he refused to produce his certificate of birth, making the rumours fly about whether or not this then presidential candidate was in fact legally able to be our next president, as there was no proof that he was born in America.In June 2008, a certificate did surface on the internet, from the Obama campaign, listing Barack Hussein Obama as having been born in Honolulu, Hawaii in 1961. Many people immediately pronounced this Obama birth certificate a forgery since there were variations in the copy, making it significantly different than others issued in Hawaii at the time. Namely, it had no embossed seal or signature. Others firmly believe this certificate to be real. The president has never publicly addressed this issue.A few months later, Philip Berg, a Philadelphia attorney, filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court which challenged Barack Obama’s eligibility for the presidency based on the grounds that Obama was born in Kenya, not Hawaii. Berg claimed the Hawaii Obama birth certificate was a forgery and that Obama was not a U.S. born citizen. In October 2008, the complaint was dismissed by a federal judge. The judge said Berg’s allegations were too vague to stand on their own.According to state officials in Hawaii, Obama was born there. The director of the Hawaii State Department, Dr. Chiyome Fukino, claims to have seen the original records on file and further insists that Obama is a natural born citizen. Additionally, a woman by the name of Barbara Nelson claims she had a conversation with Rodney T. West, now deceased, in which West discussed the birth with her the week Obama was born.In August 2009, a birth certificate surfaced showing Obama’s place of birth as Kenya. Many believe this to be the true Barack Obama birth certificate and that the earlier Hawaii claims were fabricated to put rumors to rest.Since Obama has not stepped forward to either confirm or deny any of these documents or rumors, it really is up to the individual to decide whether he is legally eligible to maintain his presidency given the lack of absolute evidence of a legitimate Barack Obama birth certificate. Until there is absolute proof of Obama’s citizenship, none of us really know if he should hold the highest U.S. office.
