The controversy over Barack Obama’s birth certificate and his eligibility to serve as the President of the United States has sparked a great controversy throughout the land.

A controversy that the President himself, you would assume, would lay to rest by simply granting access to his original birth certificate and any other documentation which would authenticate his eligibility. The media ascribes much of the controversy to those they label “birthers” and either demonize or denigrate as if the very thought of demanding certification of candidacy qualifications is somehow unthinkable.

Why Barack Obama has allowed the expenditure of millions of dollars to protest access to the very documents that would confirm his eligibility once and for all is problematical – because it only raises suspicion and diverts attention away from the real problems facing our country.

That is, unless Barack Obama lacks the required documentation for office and the country would be thrown into a constitutional crisis – making all legislation and executive orders signed during this period null and void. Perhaps not such a bad thing considering the overwhelming number of confusing, chaotic laws we now have on the books.

Enough with allowing corrupt and self-interested political parties to self-attest to the eligibility of their chosen candidates …

As we approach the 2012 election cycle, it is now time to remedy this national waste of time, effort and money by developing a universal qualification form. It is a simple one-page document and contains the following items.

The candidate will have ten days from the date of any challenge to the designated officer of the Supreme Court who will treat these documents as having been filed under seal.

The Supreme Court will have sixty days from the date of document submission to verify the information contained in the documents and render a qualified/unqualified statement.

While it would be preferable for such a process to be institutionalized for all elected and appointed public offices which requires citizenship and other eligibility requirements, the system could initially be implemented for all federal Executive and Congressional elections.

Should a candidate refuse to provide documentation after signing the Certificate for the Determination of Eligibility, their candidacy would be ruled null and void. The candidate would be responsible for all costs of the election as well as for signing an oath under perjury.

Should President Obama refuse to sign such a certificate, his eligibility for the Office of the Presidency would be considered to be null and void.

“Hawaii law bars release of Obama birth info”

“A privacy law that shields birth certificates has prompted Democratic Gov. Neil Abercrombie to abandon efforts to dispel claims that President Barack Obama was born outside Hawaii, his office says.”

“State Attorney General David Louie told the governor that privacy laws bar him from disclosing an individual's birth documentation without the person's consent, Abercrombie spokeswoman Donalyn Dela Cruz said Friday.”

"There is nothing more that Gov. Abercrombie can do within the law to produce a document," said Dela Cruz. ‘Unfortunately, there are conspirators who will continue to question the citizenship of our president.’"

“Hawaii's privacy laws have long barred the release of a certified birth certificate to anyone who doesn't have a tangible interest.”

What game are the  politicians playing? The public has an overriding interest in this document as it lies at the very foundation of our democracy: the right to hold the highest office in the land based on qualifications clearly stated in the Constitution of the United States. Any decent attorney should be able to put forth this argument in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Bottom line …

At this point in time, We the People of the United States have a Constitutional right to demand that all elected officials adhere to the eligibility requirements as set forth in the United States Constitution.

And failing to prove eligibility either bars one from office or nullifies all officials acts, laws, proclamations and orders signed by that individual.

Enough of this hocus pocus partisan misdirection. Either Barack Obama is eligible for the office he holds or he is not and we must deal with the fact that an ineligible candidate managed to assume office. But We the People must know in order to have continuing faith in the current Administration.

Those who fight against revealing the true nature of Obama’s candidacy should stand accused in the dock alongside their candidate if it ever becomes apparent that a fraud was perpetrated upon We the People.
