The results of a formal law-enforcement investigation into whether Barack Obama is eligible to be president of the United States could come as a "shock," according to Maricopa County, Ariz., Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
Tuesday night, speaking to a tea-party group in Arizona, Arpaio said, "I can't tell you everything, but there could be a shock there somewhere that my guys came up with. I can't talk too much about it. It's in the process."
WND previously has reported that Arpaio has constituted a special five-member law enforcement posse to investigate allegations brought by members of the Surprise, Ariz., Tea Party that the birth certificate released to the public April 27 might be a forgery.
The posse, assembled under the authority of Arpaio's office, consists of three former law enforcement officers and two retired attorneys with law enforcement experience. Members have been examining evidence since September concerning Obama's eligibility to be president under Article 2, Section 1 of the Constitution, which requires a president to be a natural-born citizen.
He referenced disputes over the Social Security number attributed to the president and said, "There are a couple of things you and nobody else here knows anything about yet that could be a little bit exciting."
"The investigation into Obama's eligibility to be president is proceeding as planned," Arpaio later told WND. "I expect to have the investigation completed early next year."

This could be interesting. But, where does the proof for citizenship really come from. It does not come from the SSN. It does not necessarily come from a birth certificate. These might be evidence, but they are not necessarily proof. So, lying SSNs and lying birth certificates are only evidence that politicians are liars at times.
Proof comes from first hand knowledge, affidavits to that fact.
Obama's taking of the Oath of Office is, virtually, his affidavit that he is a U.S. citizen, qualified to hold the Office of the Presidency.
The only thing that can refute that "affidavit" is a counter affidavit brought by someone who has first-hand knowledge, or knows of reliable information, that Obama is NOT a U.S. citizen. If this counter-affidavit is not built on strong evidence, or evident proof, we might all be dead and gone of old age long before the court battles are over.
