Inaugural Speech By The New Speaker Of The House

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, fellow congressmen and women, and my fellow citizens. I’m pleased to take up the gavel as your new Majority Leader and Speaker of the House of Representatives. I wish my predecessor all the best as he resumes his duties as a member of the House from Ohio.

We have a new beginning today and I want the American people to know that everything is on the table. And I do mean everything. We have an ambitious term planned. I promise you we will work diligently to accomplish the following:

First, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, with its new chairman,will conduct a full investigation on the question of President Barack Hussein Obama’s eligibility to hold the office of President of the United States.

This is a question that has hung over our republic for four long years, and the American people demand and deserve a clear answer to it. I have personally reviewed the investigative material collected by Sheriff Joe Arpaio and his team of lawyers, detectives and document specialists, and I believe that the incongruities surrounding Obama’s birthcertificate, selective service records, and social security numbers, must be investigated. I find there is credible evidence that document fraud has occurred and we’re going to get to the bottom of it all.

I will ask the Senate to undertake similar investigations and I will ask the Supreme Court for their definition of the term ‘natural born citizen’ under Section I, Article II of the Constitution. I will also ask the Supreme Court to clarify the definition of ‘citizen’ under the Fourteenth Amendment. Aliens should not be able to illegally enter our country and claim citizenship for their children born illegally on our soil. The American people deserve clear legal definitions and honest answers to these questions, once and for all.
