Yes, this may be off topic somewhat, but we all know how Senator Obama feels about Amnesty. Below is a letter that my wife and myself sent to our Tenn. State Representative. We did receive a remarkable reply. Please read below:

We are writing to ask Representative Hensley to clarify that Senator Barack Hussein Obama is eligible to be a candidate for President of the United States of America..

Apparently, we are not the only citizens/voters that needs clarification on this matter while understanding that:

Barack Obama might not be qualified as a Candidate for President of the United States of America after all, for the following reasons:

1) Barack Obama is not legally a U.S. natural-born citizen according to the law on the books at the time of his birth, which falls between "December 24, 1952 to November 13, 1986?

2) Presidential office requires a natural-born citizen if the child was not born to two U.S. citizen parents, which of course is what exempts John McCain though he was born in the Panama Canal US Law very clearly stipulates: ".If only one parent was a U.S. citizen at the time of your birth, that parent must have resided in the United States for at least ten years, at least five of which had to be after the age of 16.

3) Barack Obama's father was not a U.S. citizen and Obama's mother was only 18 when Obama was born, which means though she had been a U.S. citizen for 10 years, (or citizen perhaps because of Hawaii being a territory) the mother fails the test for being so for at least 5 years **prior to** Barack Obama's birth, but *after* age 16. It doesn't matter *after*.

4) In essence, Obama's mother was not old enough to qualify her son for automatic U.S. citizenship. At most, there were only 2 years elapsed since his mother turned 16 at the time of Barack Obama's birth when she was 18 in Hawaii. His mother would have needed to have been 16+5=21 years old, at the time of Barack Obama's birth for him to have been a natural-born citizen.

5) As aforementioned, she was a young college student at the time and was not. Barack Obama was already 3 years old at that time his mother would have needed to have waited to have him as the only U.S. Citizen parent. Obama instead should have been naturalized, but even then, that would still disqualify him from holding the office.

6) *** Naturalized citizens are ineligible to hold the office of President. *** Though Barack Obama was sent back to Hawaii at age 10, all the other info does not matter because his mother is the one who needed to have been a U.S. citizen for 10 years prior to his birth on August 4, 1961, with 5 of those years being after age 16.

7) Further, Obama may have had to have remained in the country for some time to protect any citizenship he would have had, rather than living in Indonesia.

Now you can see why Obama's aides stopped his speech about how we technically have more than 50 states, because it would have led to this discovery.

9) This is very clear cut and a blaring violation of U.S. election law.

10) We think the Gov. of California would be very interested in knowing this if Obama were elected President without being a natural-born U.S. citizen, and it would set precedence.

11) Senator Obama was not born in Hawaii.

12) No hospitals in Hawaii have any record of birth for Senator Obama.

13) Senator Obama was born in Kenya.

14) We and all American citizens/voters have the right to a definitive answer.

Below is our Tenn. State Representative Joey Hensley's reply:

Dear ___ and ______,

Thanks for the e-mail and I agree with you that it appears that someone dropped the ball when they certified Obama to be on the ballot. He had to be qualified by each State Election Commission and they apparently certified him. He is certainly questionable at best.

Sincerely,
Joey Hensley, MD
State Representative
