re: "Birther Conspiracy: Putting It to Rest or Fanning the Flames?"

DRJ guest-posted at Patterico's Pontifications ("Harangues that Just Make Sense") and informed us about some pending legislation.

Money quote(s):

"Several sponsors say their goal is to put to rest any Presidential birth conspiracy theories, but Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee described it as a bid to impeach Obama’s birthright as the first black president."

It would seem to me that, since the Constitution forbids any ex-post-facto laws, that such a law would hardly provide grounds for impeachment, but would perhaps pose an obstacle in a re-election bid.

Of course it's a little late to deal with the present usurper but, it might come in handy in the future.

Usurper is a pretty harsh word.

I'd settle for a bit more transparency.

Want to put a stop to the "birthers"? Produce a valid birth certificate, preferably the one that the certificate of live birth was stapled to when Barri was brought into the US through Hawaii. Like his sister's.
