Nancy Pelosi and the DNC sent an Official Certification of Nomination to the Secretary of State in each of the 50 states. Most of those certifications merely certified that Obama and Biden had been nominated. Hawaii is different. Hawaii requires that the party ALSO certify that the nominees are legally qualified, under the provisions of the United States Constitution, to serve in those offices.
Here is what Nancy Pelosi and the DNC sent to the Hawaiian Secretary of State:
OK, Speaker Pelosi, How Did the DNC Certify Obama’s Eligibility?
The Constitution requires that Obama be a natural born citizen:
No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President;
The 1787 signers of the Constitution understood “natural born Citizen” as it was described in the 1758 book:
The Law of Nations, or Principles of The Law of Nature applied to the conduct and affairs of Nations and Sovereigns, Book 1, Sections 212 and 215:
§ 212. Citizens and natives.
… natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens. … children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights. … The country of the fathers is therefore that of the children … in order to be of the country, it is necessary that a person be born of a father who is a citizen; for, if he is born there of a foreigner, it will be only the place of his birth, and not his country.
…
§ 215. Children of citizens born in a foreign country.
It is asked whether the children born of citizens in a foreign country are citizens? The laws have decided this question in several countries, and their regulations must be followed.(59) By the law of nature alone, children follow the condition of their fathers, and enter into all their rights (§ 212); the place of birth produces no change in this particular …
The 14th Amendment does not speak to who is a natural born citizen, it only speaks to who is a citizen. Qualifying as a citizen under the 14th Amendment does not automatically qualify someone as a natural born citizen. One must look at the citizenship of the parents, as well as birth location, to determine if someone qualifies as a natural born citizen.
Divorce records show that Barack Hussein Obama married Stanley Ann Dunham Obama on February 2, 1961 and Barack Hussein Obama II was born August 4, 1961. Barack Hussein Obama was never a United States citizen. He was first a British subject, and later a citizen of Kenya.
By Natural Law, The Law of Nations, and The British Nationality Act of 1948, British citizenship was passed from the father, Barack Hussein Obama, to his son, Barack Hussein Obama II.
Barack Hussein Obama II’s own campaign admits this at http://www.fightthesmears.com/articles/5/birthcertificate
As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children.
Natural-born citizens are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens.
To be a natural born citizen of the United States, three conditions must be met:
1) Born “in the country” (on U.S. soil).
2) Born to a father who is a U.S. citizen.
3) Born to a mother who is a U.S. citizen.
If any one of those conditions is not met, then the person is not a natural born citizen of the United States, and they are not eligible to hold the office of President of the United States and Commander in Chief of all of our Armed Forces.
John Sydney McCain III fails to meet the first condition (he was born on Panamanian soil, not U.S. soil). It is a lie to say that McCain was born at Coco Solo Naval Air Station in the Panama Canal Zone. He was not. While the Certificate of Birth below says “The Panama Canal Health Department”, it shows that McCain was born at Colón Hospital in the city of Colón, Republic of Panama (R. P.). The city of Colón was not in the Panama Canal Zone and was not U.S. soil.
Barack Hussein Obama II fails to meet the second condition (his father was not a United States citizen). He may also fail to meet the first condition (more evidence exists to show that he was born in Kenya than exists to show he was born in Hawaii), but that is superfluous. BHOII is already conclusively ineligible because he fails to meet the second condition, regardless of whether or not he meets the first condition.
So given that, I repeat my question:
Speaker Pelosi, How Did the DNC “Certify” Obama’s Eligibility?
Update: Pelosi + Haiku = Pelosiku
“O” eligible?
Natural Born Citizen?
Pelosi said so.
Would Pelosi lie?
Why would she ever do that?
“Son of this soil”.
UPDATE: Pelosi and Obama share a tender moment after Obama supposedly signed Obamcare into law and handed Nancy one of the signing pens…
… except it’s not really law, because Obama is not Constitutionally eligible to hold the office of President, so his signature on that bill means nothing.

===============
UPDATE July 27, 2015:
Six and a half years after publishing this post, I have had it brought to my attention that John McCain IS eligible in the eyes of Vattel since he was “born in the armies of the state”.
I looked that up, and I believe they are correct.
http://www.constitution.org/vattel/vattel_01.htm
§ 217. Children born in the armies of the state.
For the same reasons also, children born out of the country, in the armies of the state, or in the house of its minister at a foreign court, are reputed born in the country; for a citizen who is absent with his family, on the service of the state, but still dependent on it, and subject to its jurisdiction, cannot be considered as having quitted its territory.
I stand corrected.
I Took The Red Pill 
CHALLENGE (with answer), CAN ANYONE PROVE THIS WRONG?:–
1. Constitution Article II requires USA President to be “natural born citizen”.
2. BHO’s website admits his dad was Kenyan/British, not American, citizen when BHO was born.
3. BHO is therefore not a “natural born citizen” (irrespective of Hawaiian birth or whether he may be a 14th Amendment “citizen” of USA) — confirmed in the Senate’s own McCain qualification resolution (that both parents must be citizens of USA) co-authored by BHO.
4. Supreme Court has already docketed two upcoming conferences, 1/9/09 and 1/16/09 — between dates Congress counts electoral votes (1/8/09) and Presidential inauguration (1/20/09) — to address Berg Case and fashion relief on BHO’s eligibility to be President.
5. Since the fact of BHO’s dad being Kenyan/British not in dispute, Supreme Court rules on Summary Judgment to enjoin BHO’s inauguration as President.
6. Therefore, BHO is not inaugurated as President.
7. Vice President Elect Biden is inaugurated Acting President under the 20th Amendment to serve until new President is determined — the procedure for which determination to be set out by Congress and/or the Supreme Court so long as in conformance with the Constitution.
ANSWER TO ABOVE CHALLENGE
IF, when counting the electoral votes, Congress WERE TO find by 1/8/09 that Obama — not being an Article II “natural born citizen” (father Kenyan/British, not American) — fails to qualify as President, Biden would become the full fledged President under 3 USC 19 (free to pick his own VP such as Hillary) AND THERE WOULD BE NO NEED FOR DEFERRAL TO THE SUPREME COURT to enjoin Obama’s inauguration relegating Biden to being merely Acting President under the 20th Amendment until a new President were duly determined.
(The preferable choice, at least for the Democrats, would seem obvious.)
Ted,
I think the 20th Amendment applies regardless of the timing. Unless Biden received Electoral College votes for President (rather than EC votes for Vice-President), then Obama’s failure to qualify must lead to someone else being President. If only Obama and McCain received EC votes for President, and both are ineligible, we would have a case where the eligible VP would serve as P until a President shall have qualified.
I still don’t understand why this issue isn’t getting more (any!) attention out there… especially from the big name conservatives. Nary a peep is heard from Rush or Laura or Sean, etc. For the sake of our Constitution (and future candidates) this *must* be brought to resolution. I would think that the more noise is made about it, the more likely it will be resolved. The SCOTUS needs to stop pussy-footing around these stupid ‘standing’ issues and rule on the crux of it!
“(more evidence exists to show that he was born in Kenya than exists to show he was born in Hawaii)”
What evidence? Other than the McRae audiotape (wherein Grandma Obama actually spends three minutes saying her grandson was born in Hawaii), what actual, documented evidence points specifically to Kenya? I’m particularly interested in evidence that existed before August, when Phil Berg filed a lawsuit claiming Obama was born in Kenya.
For instance, in Berg’s complaint filed in August, he cites alleged statements by Obama’s grandmother, half-brother, and half-sister. But he’s never produced such statements, or even identified what his source for the claim was. It’s been five months, and he still hasn’t provided any names, dates, sources, or quotations for that claim.

Loren,
The grandma Obama audiotape is part of a legal affidavit in the hands of the Supreme Court. It alone is significant.
If you want more, see “Son of This Soil”
Also there is the ambassador’s admission that it is “well-known” by Kenyans that Obama was born in Kenya.
Check out the following quote from the link. Grimshaw is 0bamaII’s neighbor too:
http://newzeal.blogspot.com/2008/10/obama-file-42-obamas-socialist.html
“In May Grimshaw was named to represent Barack Obama on the Credentials Committee for the Illinois Democratic Delegation to the Democratic National Convention in Denver.”
FeFe,
Thank you for your comment. Very Informative.
Yes, Grimshaw is Soetoro/Obama’s next-door-neighbor on the non-Rezko side, and a close friend of the family… Hardly an unbiased person to represent Soetoro/Obama on the DNC Credentials Committee!

In the sense that both the grandmother and her two translators spend half the audiotape telling the interviewer that Obama was not born in Kenya but, in fact, born in Hawaii, yes, the interview is extremely significant.

Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid both are not to be trusted. Any fool can

that obama is a fraud. No one is standing up for our Constittution.
WhAT IN HELL IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE I DO NOT UNDERSTAND
So Pelosi, nobody in Congress, as required by the 20th amendment, certified obama’s as qualified for office, so he’s therefore not president.
“If, at the time fixed for the beginning of the term of the President … the President elect shall have failed to qualify, then the Vice President elect shall act as President until a President shall have qualified; and the Congress may by law provide for the case wherein neither a President elect nor a Vice President elect shall have qualified, declaring who shall then act as President, or the manner in which one who is to act shall be selected, and such person shall act accordingly until a President or Vice President shall have qualified.”
Now Biden didn’t act as president, (or did he?) since obama failed to qualify…the congress pretended obama was president and did not appoint a temp until someone did qualify…
everyone ffed up
Jane,
Thank you for your comment.
I think at least part of the problem is that members of Congress were more concerned with public opinion than supporting and defending the Constitution. Not only had Obama won the election, but between early November and early January (when the new, more heavily Democrat Congress was called upon to certify the electoral college vote) public support for Obama had only grown stronger.
I’m going to write a new post as soon as the rolling 30-day average of those who Strongly Disapprove of Obama passes and exceeds the the rolling 30-day average of his Total Approval (those who Strongly Approve plus those who only somewhat Approve). I haven’t seen anyone else portray the data as a rolling 30-day average, nor portray the data from the election onward. I’ll show all of that, and it’s already very enlightening, in my opinion, becuause you see how a large number of those who did not approve of Obama at election time decided to unify behind him between the election and the inauguration. He reached 68% approval, and a large amount of that was strong approval.
Those in Congress who think (wrongly) that our nation is a “Democracy”, were of the mindset that “the people have spoken…and Obama is our new President”. Those who know that our nation is a “Republic” (the rule of LAW, not the rule of the MAJORITY), should have supported and defended the Constitution. At an absolute minimum, they should have done their due dililgence and inspected the birth certificates of both Obama and Biden. Beyond that, they should have asked the Supreme Court to clear up the doubts that they themselves acknowledged in two different Cases in the nineteenth century… doubts about whether or not a person in Barack’s situation could be considered a “natural born citizen” because his father was never a U.S. citizen.
Once Obama took office, his approval ratings plummeted. And then they plummeted again when Al Franken was seated as their filibuster-breaking 60th Senator and they started railroading Obamacare upon a public that did not want it.
NBC is a logic concept.
Minor v. Happersett states no 14ther (statutory US citizen) can be NBC.
NBC is not mentioned in 14th, nor defined therein, which makes sense since NBCs require no statutes (they have but one choice of citizenship).
All permutations of blood and birthplace, except jus soli jus sanguinis both parents, are outlined in the 14th.
Therefore by exclusion NBC must mean jus soli jus sanguinis both parents. There is no other option (for humans).
OBAMA AMENDS COURTS-MARTIAL RULES!
Now, there is a distinct possibility that that online image is just as authentic (i.e., just as fraudulent) as the “Obama COLB”.
Obama, Biden, McCain, and Palin should all have authorized the release of a certified hard copy of their birth certificate, and the Secretary of State in each of the 50 states should have inspected those documents before putting their names on the ballot. In addition, Congress should have supported and defended Section 3 of the 20th Amendment and inspected the birth certificates of Obama and Biden before certifying the Electoral College vote.
http://blog.washingtonpost.com/fact-checker/2008/05/john_mccains_birthplace.html
Given that Roberta, John’s mother, says that the officer’s club was “nearby”, does that necessarily mean that the birthplace was on-base, vs. at nearby Colon Hospital?
When a woman finds out that she is pregnant, she has plenty of time to return to the U.S. if she wants her child to be born on U.S. soil.
I would be agree that U.S. military bases on foreign soil should be treated as U.S. soil, just as U.S. embassies on foreibn soil are treated as U.S. soil.
But I would like to see hard copy documentary proof that John McCain was born on the U.S. Naval base.
To quote Vattel, from sections 212 and 215 of
The Law of Nations, or Principles of The Law of Nature applied to the conduct and affairs of Nations and Sovereigns, Book 1:
“By the law of nature alone, children follow the condition of their fathers, and enter into all their rights (§ 212); the place of birth produces no change in this particular …”
By the law of nature alone,
John McCain follows the condition of his U.S. citizen father, and
Barack Obama follows the condition of his British subject father.
The only US law that has ever employed the exact term “natural born citizen” is the Naturalization Act of 1790:
This law was passed by the First Congress, which counted among its members nearly half of the signers of the Constitution (and was signed into law by a president who was also a signer of the Constitution), so it may give some insight into the intention behind this provision. However, the 1790 act was repealed in 1795, and no subsequent law or court decision has clearly defined “natural born Citizen”.
We don’t know why the act was repealed in 1795. We don’t know if those who repealed it agreed or disagreed with the provision that “children of citizens of the United States, that may be born beyond sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered natural born citizens”.
John McCain would be considered a “natural born citizen” under that act which was passed in 1790 and repealed in 1795.
Hence, there is a fairly strong case for saying that McCain should be considered a “natural born” U.S. citizen.
The opposite is true of Obama. He was born a British subject because his father was a British subject. His own campaign web site admitted that. And someone born a British subject cannot also be a natural born U.S. citizen. Dual citizen, perhaps, but not a natural born U.S. citizen.

Its amazing to me that after 2 years we are still having this discussion. If the Constitution was being held to the written word…Obama would be history! It has nothing to do with him being born on American soil…it has to do with the fact his Father was NEVER a U.S. citizen by his own admission in his book (which he did not write). We need to be content with the boneless, spineless, pieces of chicken that represent the people of the United States that they cannot uphold the Constitution and carry out the JUSTICE of escorting this IMPOSTER from OUR HOUSE! What is it going to take? Seems like no person will stand up for OUR RIGHTS as given to us by the framers of the Constitution which we have proudly held as the ‘LAW OF THE LAND”. God Help Us!
Craig,
Thank you for your comment.
Indeed.
True. He’s either a usurper, a fraud, or both!
No member of Congress fulfilled their obligations under Section 3 of the 20th Amendment. No member of Congress has qualified the President and Vice President. No member of Congress has ever inspected a birth certificate to verify the “Obama birth narrative”. How do you know that it is a “fact his Father was NEVER a U.S. citizen”? Sure, Barack Hussein Obama was never a U.S. citizen, but how do we know that he is the father of Barry Soetoro (a.k.a. Barack Hussein Obama II), other than “by his own admission”? No officially-certified vital record has ever been sent under seal from the State of Hawaii to the U.S. Congress to establish that as a “fact”.
That’s why both issues matter:
1) Trust, but Verify
2) “Natural” born citizen
If Barry’s father is who he claims it is, then he was born a British subject, not a natural born citizen of the United States.
If Barry’s father isn’t who he claimed it is, then he is guilty of crimes including forgery, perjury, obstruction of justice, etc.
Either way, Barry Belongs in Gitmo!

Obama should have no problem, then, asking the State of Hawaii to send an officially certified copy of the long-form Certificate directly to Congress under seal, just as was done for this certificate and this certificate.
Make it official. Have Hawaii send an officially certified copy of it, under seal, directly to the Congress.
Congress, not the media after all, has the Constitutional duty to ensure that the President and Vice President have qualified:
If Obama balks at having the State of Hawaii send an official copy directly to Congress under seal, then that should set off flashing red sirens that the “document” just produced for the media is actually fraudulent.
If Obama does have the State of Hawaii send an official copy directly to Congress under seal, then we can put issue #1 behind us (Trust, but Verify), and move on to issue #2 (“Natural” born citizen).
