"Birthers"


 * "Birthers" are conservative extremists who believe President Obama is not a US citizen, and thus must be removed from office.
 * President Obama was born in the United States of America. Anyone who believes otherwise is simply wrong and likely has some other vendetta or prejudices at play.

Birther Claims
Numerous and often contradictory claims of Obama's citizenship exist. As one journalist phrased it:

"Barack Obama can't be president: He wasn't really born in Hawaii, and the certification of live birth his campaign released is a forgery. He was born in Kenya. Or maybe Indonesia. Or, wait, maybe he was born in Hawaii -- but that doesn't matter, since he was also a British citizen at birth because of his father, and you can't be a "natural-born citizen" in that case. (But then, maybe his "father" wasn't really his father; maybe his real dad was an obscure communist poet. Or Malcolm X.)"

Proof Birthers are Wrong
Barack Obama was born in Hawaii, as verified by officials in Hawaii, by newspapers printed at the time, and by the birth certificate itself.

Numerous court cases challenging Obama's citizenship and ability to serve as President have been dismissed.

Christopher Earl Strunk, a birther from New York, was ordered to pay $177,000 in fines for filing frivolous lawsuits to get Obama removed from the ballot,
