What more proof is needed from Obama?

Posted March 01, 2012 11:00 am

One of the requirements for a person to be eligible for the office of President of the United States is that he be a natural-born citizen. Nothing in our Constitution states that his parents must be natural-born citizens.

It would take a constitutional amendment to make Barack Obama ineligible for the presidency, and it would have to be retroactive.

But even this may be unconstitutional because our U.S. Constitution forbids all ex post facto laws.

Marvin Schulgen is writing his own constitution for our country to make Obama not eligible for the presidency. Obama was born in Hawaii after it became a state. He provided his birth certificate to the media. This should be all the proof he needs to be eligible to be a candidate for the presidency.
