       The writer of this ''Letter to the Editor'' wonders if there is verifiable legal proof of Obama's birth status and eligibility to be a candidate for President of the United States."

Dear Editor:

     Barack Obama was born on August 4, 1961, to Barack Obama of Kenya, and Ann Dunham, a white American from Wichita, Kansas.

     Section 1 of Article II of the Constitution contains the clause:
“ 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”

     In order to be a "natural born citizen," a person must be born in the United States; otherwise, he is a citizen "by law" and is therefore "naturalized.

     Montana v. Kennedy, 366 U.S. 308 (1961): A person born in 1906, whose mother was a native-born citizen of the United States and whose father was a foreign citizen, who was born overseas and then moved to the United States, was not a citizen of the United States by birth.

     To date neither Barack Obama or his democratic sponsors have provided a legal birth certificate to show that he was born in Hawaii. Provided certificates lack the seal of the State of Hawaii and are considered illegal or fake under State of Hawaii regulations.

     Shouldn’t the citizens of the United States, and the mass media, demand that the presumptive Democratic candidate clarify his eligibility to be President of the United States by providing a valid birth certificate?
