Manzullo: No reason to believe Obama not natural born citizen
6 comments July 31st, 2009
According to Politico, a new poll shows that 58 percent of Republicans either don’t believe President Barack Obama is a citizen or aren’t sure.
I asked U.S. Rep. Don Manzullo, R-Egan, for his take on the president’s status, and here is is reply:
“Numerous claims have been made that President Barack Obama does not meet the qualifications needed to be President because he is not a natural born citizen. I have no reason to believe that he is not a natural born citizen based on the fact that on October 31, 2008, the Hawaiian Health Department verified the authenticity of President-elect Obama’s birth certificate, and the U.S. Supreme Court dismissed an appeal that challenged Mr. Obama’s claim of being a natural born U.S. citizen. Other lower courts have also similarly disposed of these suits.”
