Hawaii was admitted to the Union fifty years ago. In honor of the event, Rep. Neil Abercrombie of Hawaii, has introduced a resolution honoring the event. But there is trouble in paradise because the resolution includes the following whereas clause:
Whereas the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama, was born in Hawaii…
GOP Congresswoman Michele Bachmann cannot allow this to happen.
Despite her objection, the resolution ultimately passed the House unanimously (including her vote and the votes of all the other birthers present).
