Obama Citizenship

Rep. Gohmert Believes ?Whole Truth will Eventually be Public? on Presidential Eligibility

By Phil

A concerned citizen from Texas received the following response from former federal district judge-turned-Congressional Rep. Louie Gohmert (R) regarding the presidential eligibility issue:

Thank you for contacting me in regards to President-Elect Obama?s eligibility to hold the office of President. I appreciate having the benefit of your views on this issue.

Dozens of lawsuits challenging Mr. Obama?s eligibility to serve as President have been filed in state and federal courts all over the country, including a suit filed by former Pennsylvania Deputy Attorney General Philip Berg that the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear on January 12, 2009. Mr. Berg is now attempting to sue in the name of a retired U.S. Air Force Colonel to determine whether Mr. Obama is qualified to give orders calling the colonel back into the service. Please know that I will continue to closely follow this important legal issue as it works its way through our judicial system.

You are right to be concerned with anything as important as the Constitutional requirements for holding the highest elected office in this country. Failing to be concerned would send a message that the law just doesn?t matter if you?re in a high enough office. I believe the system will work and the whole truth will eventually be public. In the meantime, I truly do appreciate your input and also having the opportunity to be your servant in the United States House of Representatives.

With kindest regards, I am

Very Truly Yours,

Hon. Louie Gohmert [emphasis added]

This letter was dated February 6, 2009, so I find it rather encouraging that there are those federal representatives out there who are watching these cases with some semblance of an open mind. Further, what Rep. Gohmert says in the emphasized portion of his letter is precisely the stance that I take on the eligibility saga:

Nobody is above the law, no matter how charismatic they are, no matter what that law says.
