I have never heard of the winner of a presidential election showing his birth certificate at the end of the race. Please give me an example of where that has happened.

Have we ever had a president elect whose citizenship was in doubt?


Why's Obama citizenship in doubt? Like all presidents, he ran on the basis that he's a citizen of this country.

I can't think of an instance where there was any question about it because the candidate was so thoroughly vetted by the media.

Of course, he is vetted by the media. He had to be a citizen to run for the Senate.

In the Obama case, the media vetting was, shall we say, "minimal". We know nothing about him, really, and his early life, in particular, seems to be known only from his own remarks (in his books).

That's your evaluation......in reality, had Bush been as vetted as Obama, he wouldn't have won. People would have not voted for his sorry ass.

He just needs to produce the certificate and the subject will be dead.

The subject already is dead.......its just your side is slow on the uptake.
