Texas “Birther Bill” Congressman Refuses to Show Own Birth Certificate

Congressman Randy Neugebauer (R-TX), one of almost a dozen Republican House members co-sponsoring the so-called “birther bill” that would require future presidential candidates to submit a copy of their birth certificate to the Federal Election Commission, has refused to provide a copy of his own certificate when asked by reporter Kathryn McGarr of the website Politico. Neugebauer has been outspoken in both his support for the legislation and questioning President Barack Obama’s citizenship, even though officials in Hawaii, where the president was born, have verified the authenticity of Obama’s birth certificate. According to Neugebauer’s congressional biography, he was born in St. Louis, Missouri, on December 24, 1949. Members of Congress are not required to be natural-born citizens.
