He SHOULD have to. The Constitution of the United States actually demands it. It IS the law you know? Or is this another "frivolous" Constitutional issue we should just igore?

The Constitution lays out the requirements for president. The Constitution does not say how or when those requirements should be checked or who checks them. There is no law on the books specifying the how or who, either. It's a grey area; throughout our history candidates are assumed to meet the qualification because they say they did. Unless someone can come up with solid evidence to the contrary, Obama gets the same treatment.

IF Obama was born in Hawaii, no problem.

If he wasn't then there'd be evidence supporting that. Got any?

I’ve seen no evidence that Alan Keyes is behind this ridiculous (yet useful) lawsuit. Don’t blame him because this idiot and the associated party are supporting him for POTUS.

This has already been investigated thoroughly, and he IS natural born. Perhaps just a way to throw off the Obama COLB investigations?

Because Senator John McCain was not a citizen at birth, he is not a “natural born Citizen”....

That's a huge leap.

Alan Keyes was a steaming jackass long before this lawsuit.

More stupidity from Alan Keyes.

Why doesn't this loser go away and get a real job.

Is this an "I'll show you mine if you'll show me yours" moment?
I'm not sure John McCain cares one way or the other about Alan Keyes birth certificate.

Yup! My son was born, off post, in a German hospital. He has the same “Certificate of Birth Abroad of United States Citizen”. He’s a natural born American Citizen too. These idiots are nuts.

That’s right. So, I am honestly confused here and asking for a legal clarification. Can anybody explain, is there any procedure NOT to accept a clearly frivolous lawsuits? Is any suit MUST be accepted?
The article says that is was filed. That doesn't mean that it has been "accepted". It's in the stack waiting to be accepted. Probably the bottom of the stack.

Liberals are relentless in their pursuit of idiocy, stupidity, foolishness and lies.

Hmm... The American Independent Party = another 3rd Party for Obama!!

If AIP fields a candidate and noone voted for him, is it still a political party?

American Independent Party? What is that?

A third party so people can vote FOR Obama without doing it!1 The AIP candidate is Alan Keyes who helped create the B. Hussien Obama mess by being a CARPETBAGGER in Illinois!!

I'd rather vote Libertarian National Socialist Green Party then the AIP!! But only if noone was on the Republican Party line and a few other political parties didn't have candidates running.

OK, Thanks. So, I can file anything I want, give interviews for the prime time news and front pages, but later, when a lawsuit is not accepted, just quietly move on. If MSM then won’t follow up, I am free to move on to another mischief. Cool.

People need to learn how to read. Markham Robinson is not Alan Keyes.

It's all going to be moot anyway. The lawsuit will go nowhere and McCain will not win California.

We’ve known about all of this for months.

Dr. Keyes says that John McCain is a natural-born citizen, due to the fact that his parents were Americans.

I agree with him.

We can save for another time the discussion about the irony of John McCain having to defend himself on the basis of natural rights. :-)

Funny thing about all of this is that if the Senator wanted the best man in the country to make his case here, he’d get Alan. LOL...
