Report: Congressman challenges Obama eligibility

From WorldNetDaily

'This forever changes the public discourse' Posted: January 07, 2010 ~ 12:30 am Eastern © 2010 WorldNetDaily A new media initiative by a group of citizen-journalists reports Rep. Nathan Deal, R-Ga., has written to President Obama asking him to prove his eligibility to hold the office of president. According to the Post and Email, "This forever changes the public discourse." "What does this mean?" the site asks. "This is probably the first time in 233 years of American history that a sitting member of the House of Representatives has officially challenged the legitimacy of a sitting president … one full year into his term." The website said Deal's chief of staff, Todd Smith, confirmed Deal sent a letter "to Barack Hussein Obama requesting him to prove his eligibility for the office of president of the United States of America." "The letter was sent electronically the first of December 2009 in .pdf format, and Mr. Smith said that Representative Deal has confirmation from Obama's staff that it has been received. The letter did not have additional signatories. It originated solely from Representative Deal," the report said. "Even if the putative president ignores the challenge, he cannot hide from it, because by doing so he admits his guilt through silence. The question has to be asked near and far, why would a president who has promised greater transparency than any previous administration pay upwards of $2,000,000 of taxpayer money to hide documents that could resolve the matter once and for all time for the cost of $20.00. He has publicly admitted on more than one occasion that his father was NOT an American citizen. This alone disqualifies him from eligibility based on Article 2, Section 1, Paragraph 5 of the Constitution, and consequently makes him a usurper," the site said. Deal's office did not respond immediately to WND requests for comment. READ FULL STORY >
