The California secretary of state should refuse to allow the state's 55 Electoral College votes to be cast in the 2008 presidential election until President-elect Barack Obama verifies his eligibility to hold the office, alleges a California court petition filed on behalf of former presidential candidate Alan Keyes and others.
The legal action today is just the latest is a series of challenges, some of which have gone as high as the U.S. Supreme Court, over the issue of Obama's status as a "natural-born citizen," a requirement set by the U.S. Constitution.
WND senior reporter Jerome Corsi even traveled to Kenya and Hawaii prior to the election to investigate issues surrounding Obama's birth. But his research and discoveries only raised more questions.
The biggest question is why Obama, if a Hawaii birth certificate exists, simply hasn't ordered it made available to settle the rumors.

“””Will Clarence Thomas have the guts to do the right thing and allow the case to be heard?””
Obama launched a personal attack on Thomas & I doubt Thomas has a short memory for condescending pukes...
When asked to name a Supreme Court justice he would not have appointed, Obama named Clarence Thomas.
“I don’t think that he was a strong enough jurist or legal thinker at the time for that elevation, setting aside the fact that I profoundly disagree with his interpretations of a lot of the Constitution,” Obama said.
The idiot forgot that...Thomas already had been confirmed by the Senate to three different positions – including the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit (the second-most prestigious court in the land after the U.S. Supreme Court) – before he was nominated to the Supreme Court.
He’s the only justice on the Supreme Court who, prior to his appointment, had recognized the relationship between the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution – that the Constitution is a means of indicating the inalienable rights that are traceable to our Creator.
Obama also named Justices Scalia – “He and I just disagree, you know?”— and Chief Justice Roberts – as two justices he probably wouldn’t have appointed.
McCain named the four most liberal members of the court as judges he would not have appointed – Stevens, Ginsburg, Breyer and Souter.
Oh, yeah. Hamilton and Jay even went to Kings College in NYC like our president-elect (maybe) after it became Columbia University.
Exactly right.
The justices of the Supreme Court are not retards. They know what is going on and why. Their reactions will differ. Some will think they have an absolute duty to take this case. Others will be upset that Obama and the Democratic party risk destruction if Obama is exposed.
Lets NOT forget ANOTHER thing in this mess ...
The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA) MANDATED that ALL employers verify employment eligibility to work in this country.
NO ONE (except certain domestic houseworkers) is exempt - NOT EVEN FEDERAL EMPLOYEES.
You have to show something like three (3) pieces of ID. Usually a Birth Certificate, Driver’s License, and Social Security Card.
POTUS is a Federal job - it is NOT exempt from this requirement. POTUS ALSO has a citizenship requirement.
Seems to me that the BC MUST be produced to be POTUS ...
Whoa ........
Was this Berg’s ad in the Washington Times?
20th amendment, section 3
Congress determines eligibility. If President not eligible, them VP is President.....
Forgive me - behind in my replies ...
NOT exactly true ...
20th Amendment, Section 3:
“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.”
This just mentions the failure to qualify - not who, how, or where ...
Congress FAILED to effectively address POTUS eligibility in Federal Election Law (United States Code, Title I, Section III).
Otherwise, you are right about VP becoming acting POTUS.
Factcheck.org is part of the Annenburg group and an ACORN organization started by 0bama. It is an unreliable source of information.
Doesn't matter, Obama was not elected on November 4th, a slate of electors "pleged" to him was. As far as federal law is concerned, they can vote for whom they wish. Many states require them to vote as pledged, but I would think there would be loopholes in that. After all what if their candidate croaked between "election day" and mid December. (It's happened in the past, the "other guy" won as some electors voted for the deader, and others split their votes between the other candidates, write ins and so forth.
Where do you want him to run to? He would not be on my short list for President.
“The Indonesian citizenship angle is a dead end. He was not of age to legally surrender US citizenship. If he was a natural born citizen then nothing Indonesian law says can change that.”
Sorry - behind in my responses ...
Agreed - SCOTUS has ruled that minors lack the capacity to surrender U.S. citizenship. After they reach the age of majority, they may surrender - but it must be by a deed of affirmation.
HOWEVER:
IF Berg’s assertion is TRUE that he travelled under an Indonesian passport at age 20 to Pakistan and India ...
I am not sure if that constitutes a deed of affirmation - fraud, certainly ...
Four of them must be. How hard is it to understand "Right OF THE PEOPLE" and "shall not be infringed"? But four of them apparently do not understand it.
Oh, they understand it all right.
Some more extreme than others, most want drugs legalized, gay rights, or rather, nobodies business. Many are athiest, some diests, Few Christians I would imagine.
Barry Goldwater was outspoken on some of these subjects, of course he sounded awful liberal after he got the young wife, strange things happen in some bedrooms, I guess.
It is now since he isn't running anymore. But you are just misinformed, it is not settled law. The very fact that the senate issued a sense of the Senate on the subject is clear evidence that they didn't think so.
Then there is this thing they inserted in a bill that was removed, 51 something.
so that would mean a decision that made both 0 & McCain not qualified for President? Panama, US Canal Zone—US Territory ...strange.
..and should have been to be seated as a US Senator....
BUT NOBODY CHECKED!!!
51 something =___________
I also think someone needs to brace Harvard fot allowing Obama in under Affirmative Action. Since the requirement is for a person to be 45% black, Obama doesn’t qualify, with only 6.5%...43.5% is Arab.
Two things I can’t stand are liars and thieves, and he’s both.
