1. Donald Trump. The famed billionaire/birther king Donald Trump has been the most vociferous and most closely connected to Romney person alleging that the President wasnt born in the United States.
2. Actress Janine Turner. The Northern Exposure star who has her own conservative radio show wrote a long screed titled Reasoning Kenyan Born. In it, she complains that anyone who questions the presidents citizenship is deemed a racist: If this were a legal case in court, [Obama's] book bio stating that Obama was born in Kenya would be taken into consideration.
3. Georgia Attorney General Sam Olens. During a town hall captured on video (at 3:5), Olens said, You know the state of Hawaii says hes produced a certified birth certificate so on one hand I have to trust the state of Hawaii follows the laws. On the other hand it would be nice for the President to say, here it is, I have a copy.
4. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee. On one radio appearance during Huckabees bid for president, the former governor said, I would love to know more [about where Obama was born]. What I know is troubling enough. He later walked back the statement.
5. Florida Gov. Rick Scott. In 2010, the Orlando Sentinel reported than an audience member at one of Scotts campaign events asked what he would do about President Obamas birth certificate and whether he could legally appear on the 2012 ballot in Florida. Scott responded, Ill have to look into it.
6. Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA). The Vice-Chairman of the House Republican Conference once told reporters Oh, Id like to see the documents.
7. Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal. Jindal was willing to sign a birther bill into law. It would have required all presidential candidates to release their birth certificate in order to qualify for a spot on the states ballot.
