1. Does the US government check out oil drilling plans?
Not a birther myself, as being born in Hawaii TO AN AMERICAN MOTHER is sufficient proof for little me,
but this flow chart requires faith in government process. SEEN THE GULF?

2. Out of curiosity where, when, and how does the government check of citizenship?
I would like to understand the process to better rebutt the occasional birther I run into

3. Constitutionally, the Congress determines eligibility.
Edited on Sat May-15-10 09:06 AM by WeDidIt
Legally, the Secretaries of the Several States requires each party provide documentation declaring that the candidate for the presidency meets the requirements. Nancy Pelosi signed off on some of that documentation in 2008.

The final check is in the procedure for counting the electoral votes. Had any member of one body of the Congress been doubtful as to the legitimacy of Barack Obama's natural born citizen status, that member could have objected at the time the electoral votes were counted on January 8, 2009. That member would then have to submit, in writing, the objections signed by them and a member of the other body. The joint session then determines the validity of the objection via majority vote within the body. If the objection fails, the electoral votes are certified. If the objection raised is upheld, the candidate shall not have qualified and the vice presidential candidate then becomes president. The same process holds for the vice presidential candidate, too. If objection is raised as to both and upheld via majority vote, the House will choose the president from the three remaining candidates who received electoral votes, each state delegation receiving one vote. A majority of 51% pf the state delegations is required to win at this point. The Senate chooses the Vice president in a similar manner with each Senator receiving one vote.

This did not happen and because this did not happen, Congress, ipso post facto declared that beyond any doubt any person could ever raise Barack Hussein Obama was over the age of thirty-five years and was a natural born citizen of the United States who had resided in the United States for at least 14 years prior to January 8, 2009.

No court in the nation has any jurisdiction to determine either the definition of "natural born citizen" or the eligibility of any person for the presidency. That power is reserved solely to the Congress under Article II and Amendment XII of the Constitution of the United States of America.

In fact, the proposed Arizona law requiring proof of eligibility for the presidential candidates is unconstitutional on its face as determining eligibility is a power reserved to the federal government and thus cannot be usurped by the several states under the tenth amendment.
