DNC steps in to silence lawsuit over Obama birth certificate
World Net Daily ^ | October 4, 2008 | Drew Zahn

Posted on 10/04/2008 9:16:33 AM PDT by Amityschild

The man suing Sen. Barack Obama and the Democratic National Committee for proof of Obama's American citizenship is outraged that his own party – rather than just providing the birth certificate he seeks – would step in to silence him by filing a motion to dismiss his lawsuit.

As WND reported, prominent Pennsylvania Democrat and attorney Philip J. Berg filed suit in U.S. District Court two months ago claiming Obama is not a natural-born U.S. citizen and therefore not eligible to be elected president. Berg has since challenged Obama publicly that if the candidate will simply produce authorized proof of citizenship, he'll drop the suit.

Berg told WND the longer the DNC tries to ignore his lawsuit or make it go away – instead of just providing the documents – the more convinced he is that his accusations are correct.

His mother died in 1995? Maybe she had the long form birth certificate and her passport, but they were discarded by accident (it happens!). Is the hospital in Hawaii supposed to have a copy of the long form? Which hospital?

No... from a constitutional stand point, I am almost positive that the VP (Biden) would take over... good news is that after that revelation, there would be no way a Dem could win in 2012

“If Berg can back up his claims with hard facts, why not put a TV ad out,buy a full-page ad in the paper,scream it from the rooftops?”

Maybe he will...

If Illinois has the responsibility, we’re doomed. Mayor Daley’s mob has things tightly wrapped up for Obama.

You don’t think that Hillary would have outed him before the Convention if there was any way?”

She already did, through Philip Berg, an avid Clintooon supporter!!!

I am in for 10 and I don’t have much money! But what does it say if Americans vote for Obama to become President? Comments everyone.

“Section 3. If, at the time fixed for the beginning of the term of the President, the President elect shall have died, the Vice President elect shall become President. If a President shall not have been chosen before the time fixed for the beginning of his term, or if the President elect shall have failed to qualify, then the Vice President elect shall act as President until a President shall have qualified; and the Congress may by law provide for the case wherein neither a President elect nor a Vice President elect shall have qualified, declaring who shall then act as President, or the manner in which one who is to act shall be selected, and such person shall act accordingly until a President or Vice President shall have qualified.”

So that means that Biden would ACT as President “until a President shall have qualified.”

So does that mean that the Congress will then get to pick who shall ACT as a President, or pick a President, or pick a process by which a President is chosen?

NSA & CIA are NOT law enforcement agencies! (You watch too much TV!) The FEC is supposed to police in some sense national elections. (And we have seen how ineffectual that agency is! I don't know if it has any actual enforcement capability!) However primary responsibility for vetting a candidate for ballot access lies with the states. Nowadays states have a minimal sense of self-soveriegnity so don't expect any action there either!
Consider the Obama phenomenon, his mysterious background, his almost nonexistence ties to this country and half the population DOESN'T CARE!
If he is elected and its proven that he is not a citizen I guarentee that there will be NO effort to remove him from office. Some sort of “citizen-forgiveness-do-over” will be arranged and very few people (other then us Neanderthal Freepers ) will care!
The Constitution at long last will be a quaint historical curiosity and we will be what the Founding Fathers hoped to avoid a “democracy”. Which to them was a pejorative term meaning mob rule.

I honestly don’t believe that the Constitution was designed to ever deal with a quagmire situation like that. It very specifically lays out the qualifications to run for office, and the writers of the Constitution very likely assumed that potential candidates would have the integrity to prove their eligibility and that this would be verified before the candidate could even begin campaigning.
The Founding Fathers must be spinning in their graves right now.

Legal “technicalities” just do not matter to the Democrats. “Bubba” Clinton’s lies and lawbreaking greased the slide for Nobama and all Democrats forever. The Constitution is a “living” document, don’t ya know? also known as “defining deviancy down”.

I would think the judge would make a ruling early next week, hopefully, with time being of the essence since voting has already began.

And since a “reasonable doubt” has been raised in the lawsuit that then it becomes imperative that Obama put up or shut-up and go home wherever to heck “home” is.

Here is an interesting recent YouTube video on the Berg vs. Obama lawsuit. It is current and easily worth your 2 minutes.

"NSA & CIA are NOT law enforcement agencies! (You watch too much TV!) The FEC is supposed to police in some sense national elections."

I agree the FEC is the logial ones to enforce that provision. If not, the U.S. Justice Dept or the FBI being next. I just want someone to do it.

I included NSA simply because they are charged with protecting the presidency and the CIA because they are charged with conducting intellegence on foreign operatives. And what's a more dangerous foreign operative than someone insinuating himself into American politics and running for president?

His birth certificate should look like this one (1963).

He was born in 1961.

How many people really believe this one is his?

If Hussein wins on Nov 4th (GOD forbid) he will be called the President-Elect. In reality, he would not be the President-Elect until the Electoral College meets in December and cast their ballots. While they are "pledged" to an indiviual, they are not required to vote for them. Therefore, if it comes to light that Hussein is not a "natural born" citizen the members of the Electoral College can correct the situation by voting for someone else. It takes 270 electoral votes to win.

If the truth comes to light after the electoral college vote, it would be a case for the courts, but the 25th Amendment says that "The Vice President serves as President until the President qualifies". In this case, he would NEVER qualify and Biden would be President

I agree, if Obama won and it was proven to be that he was not qualified the election would have been invalid.

Not necessarily the election, only his. My understanding is that since he would be disqualified from actually standing for, not just being elected to, the office, should this occur, his disqualification/removal would not fall under the incapacitated situation, Biden would not succeed but in fact, the person with the next most electoral votes, McCain, would be declared the winner of the office, since we do not have *do overs* in this country.
