Is Senator Shelby A U.S. Citizen?

Alabama Senator Richard Shelby, a Republican, reportedly told an Alabama newspaper over the weekend that he's not sure whether Obama is a U.S. citizen, qualified to be President.

"Well his father was Kenyan and they said he was born in Hawaii, but I haven't seen any birth certificate. You have to be born in America to be President. Obama could put the urban legend to rest by simply releasing his actual birth certificate, but he has declined to do so," said the Senator.

Fortunately for Senator Shelby, the Constitution doesn't disqualify him from being a Senator simply because he's a redneck dumbass.

No, but I think there's something in there disqualifying Confederates.

Apparently, there is just no end to the GOP's inability to deal with the fact that Obama is the President. Sort of reminds me of the Clinton era when the GOP members of congress spent millions investigating President and Mrs. Clinton over Whitewater, travelgate, etc. (and ended up with nothing).

Also, just sent Senator Shelby an e-mail asking the question you posed. I'll let you know what he says in response.
