Arpaio says his investigators had concluded Obama’s registration card was likely a forgery.

... No one answered the phone late Wednesday afternoon at Selective Service headquarters in Virginia.

"On March 1, 2012, a press conference was held in which I announced the initial findings of the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office Cold Case Posse investigation," Arpaio writes. "Among the findings is not only the President's birth certificate a likely fraud, but furthermore, there is probable cause to believe that the Selective Service Registration card on file and allegedly submitted by Mr. Obama on July 29, 1980, was also a forgery."

Arpaio's "birther" investigators did some homemade science projects in which they claim they were able to make their own phony stamp that looked just like the one used on the president's registration.

"Sheriff Arpaio is asking Director Romo to respond to him within 30 days on whether or not his national office will provide the Sheriff with the original document and if his office will move forward with an investigation of its own," the sheriff's office says. "Lawrence Romo, who was appointed as Director to the U.S. Selective Service System in 2009 by President Obama, reports directly to the President."
