INDIANAPOLIS -- Two Indiana men filed a lawsuit claiming that President-elect Barack Obama is not eligible to serve as president.

The suit questions whether Obama meets the constitutional requirement that the president must be a "natural born citizen."

Obama's birth certificate says he was born in Hawaii, but his father was not a U.S. citizen and some have claimed the document is a fake.

The U.S. Supreme Court this month refused without comment to hear a challenge to Obama's citizenship.

The Indianapolis Star reports the Indiana suit was filed in Marion Superior Court in Indianapolis by Steve Ankeny, New Castle, and Bill Kruse, Roselawn.

If any of these cases actually take hold, it'll make Bush vs. Gore look like a schoolyard tussle.

Obama's birth certificate says he was born in Hawaii, but his father was not a U.S. citizen and some have claimed the document is a fake.

No one has seen his birth certificate. The media does not seem to understand this.

How about I pretend I’m barack Obama? I could take the oath with no proof as well.

Obama's birth certificate says he was born in Hawaii, but his father was not a U.S. citizen and some have claimed the document is a fake.

Since the author of this piece is not shown, we can't ask her/him if she/he has actually seen a certified paper copy of Barack's long form birth certificate, aka Certificate of Live Birth. Or for that matter even a certified paper copy, with signature and raised seal, of his Certification of Live Birth.

I'd imagine not.

The hits just keep on comin!

Barack Helmsley Obama says: "We don't show documents. Only the little people have to show documents."

(Leona "Queen of Mean" Helmsley: "We don't pay taxes. Only the little people pay taxes.")

Monkey see....monkey do....monkey rule...

He can make this go away........can’t he?

[buccaneer81]

No one has seen his birth certificate.

I'm pretty sure I saw it yesterday. Being dumped from a box into the Pacific.

I’d love to see that go somewhere.

But Satan protects his own.

Which raises an interesting question. Just suppose he is deemed ineligible. What happens?

Does Biden get in by default?

Does McCain get in by default/forfeit?

Do we have another election and keep Bush until that’s settled?

Does the Speaker of the House take over for a time?

You said — “He can make this go away........can’t he?”

Yeah, once he’s sworn in, all the court cases go away, because a court can’t do anything to Obama after that...

—

So..., as I’ve proposed to several Freepers in the past, Freepers in several different states need to get a law on the books that requires the Secretary of State to require proof from a Presidential Candidate, regarding meeting the Constitutional qualifications, before he can be put on the ballot. If he can’t prove his qualifications, then he won’t be on the ballot and the state’s electors will be prevented from casting their ballots for that candidate (again, by that state law).

If we get several states to do this — this will take care of the Obama situation in the next election.

[buccaneer81]

What happens?

Riots. Target practice.

And those would be the least of what we would eventually see.

[Star Traveler]

You said — “Which raises an interesting question. Just suppose he is deemed ineligible. What happens?”

There’s not enough time between now and the time Obama is sworn in. Once he is sworn in, a court can do nothing to remove him from office. And I wouldn’t count on the Democrats to remove him from office by impeachment either (or else someone believes in Santa Claus if they think the Democrats are going to do that...).

[chris37]

Yes, but I don’t want president biden, I do not want president McSenile, I do not want president nancy poopsi...this country has a serious dirth of leadership at this time! They are all bums!

[jacquej]

You know, you might have an idea there!

A whole bunch of brave citizens could show up on Inaugural day, and say they are BHO, ready to take the oath. They could present downloaded and printed COLBs.

Could the real BHO stand up and present the real certificate?

It would probably help if they were “latte” colored, but hey, even whiteys might try.

Just late for me on Christmas day, so forgive my idiotic nonsense. We all know the SS wouldn’t let anyone close to the podium. Aren’t we in a fine fix?

[politicalmerc]

I wrote an email to Cong. Tom Price's personal email tonight reminding him that HE has standing to challenge the eligibility of Hussein Obama.

When the House convenes they must accept the Electoral College votes and determine the eligibility of the candidates. Having done so they will count the EC's votes.

If any Congressman objects they can hold hearings. If they refuse to do so the Congressmen would have standing to Petition the SCOTUS to enforce the Constitution.

I told him he could be the hero if he wants.

We'll see what he does.

To answer your question though, if Hussien can't serve as President, BIDEN would become President and would appoint a VP who would be confirmed by the Senate. JH

The democrats have a lot of constitutional irons in the fire. The GOP should be raising 6 different kinds of hell over this but they don’t.

I say Kudos to these men; and all who wave this ‘red flag/warning re his citizenship; because no matter what one thinks - (I think Obama is a total fraud; by every measure)it nonetheless takes some courage to put oneself ‘out there’!

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

If any of these cases actually take hold

Never gonna happen. The fix is so far in it would take a colonoscopy to find it.

I didn’t think I had an idea, until I reread your response :). I’m a bit too light skinned to pass for bambi...
