Just the facts! Hear the details of the eligibility crisis

Surveys show almost all Americans have a strong opinion about the birth certificate crisis precipitated by the inauguration of Barack Obama to the presidency, without documentation of his constitutional eligibility, and many simply don't trust what they hear about it.

Now's your opportunity to hear Dr. Jerome Corsi, the author of the best-selling "Where’s the Birth Certificate?"

He's being featured tonight in a webcast being assembled by the Sarasota, Fla., Patriots.

According to an announcement from the Patriots, the presentation will include details about the Constitution's requirement that a president be a "natural born Citizen."

Since many legal analysts believe that means the child of two U.S. citizen parents at the time of his birth, where does that leave Obama, whose father was born in Kenya and never was a U.S. citizen – even if Obama's nativity story of being born in Hawaii is true?

Corsi, who received a Ph.D. from Harvard University in political science in 1972, has investigated Obama's eligibility issue since before Obama's election, traveling to Hawaii and Kenya in his research.

Corsi previously visited a tea party organization in Arizona for a presentation on the issue.

Subsequently, the group asked Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio for a formal investigation into suspicions that the birth certificate documentation publicized by the White House could be fraudulent, and Arpaio has set up a special cold case team of investigators to do just that.

Arpaio told WND that he assigned the five members of his "posse" to investigate. He chose citizens with professional experience in conducting investigations, including people with experience in law enforcement, lawyers who have participated in criminal or civil cases and others with specialized skills in fields ranging from accounting to criminal forensic examination.

The decision, he says, is simply a matter of doing his duty.

"This investigation does not involve politics," Arpaio told WND. "I listen to all the residents of Maricopa County who come to my office with complaints, regardless what their politics are.

"My door is open to everyone, and I don't kick them out. If a complaint is legitimate, I don't dump it into the wastebasket," he continued. "When I get allegations brought to me by the citizens of Maricopa County, I look into the allegations, just like I am doing here."

As WND reported, Arpaio was responding to a complaint brought to his office by representatives of the Surprise Tea Party in Surprise, Ariz., who contended that the voting rights of Maricopa County residents in the 2012 presidential election could be compromised if Obama were to use a forged birth certificate to establish his eligibility

As WND reported, reporters in the mainstream media, who for years essentially have ignored the eligibility issue entirely, suddenly started paying attention when Arpaio confirmed his investigation.

This is what is being reviewed for its authenticity:

At the time of Arpaio's announcement, WND reported it was the first time a law enforcement official started investigating the document Obama presented as proof of his birthplace.

Arpaio says that since WND ran its story, he has been inundated with media inquiries, including invitations to appear on national TV news programs.

Sources within the sheriff's office explained to WND that the Cold Case Posse has been constituted as a 501(c)3 organization – separately organized within the 3,000-member volunteer posse – enabling people from around the country to contribute to its mission.

"The Cold Case Posse is a good place to put this investigation," Arpaio said. "The individuals on this posse have been sworn in by me and I have granted them the authority required to conduct this investigation."

The identities of the five individuals assigned to the investigation are being withheld from the public to protect them from both public reaction and from questions that are certain to arise from the media.

The dispute is over Obama's eligibility under the Constitution's requirement that a president be a "natural-born citizen," which was thought by many at the time of the writing of the Constitution to be the offspring of two citizens of the nation. Obama's eligibility remains unconfirmed because of cloudy information about his birth location. Some also argue he wouldn't qualify even if born in Hawaii as he has stated, because his father never was a U.S. citizen.
