WND Exclusive BORN IN THE USA? D.C. court case demands Obama explain eligibility Contends president's allegiance is to Britain, Kenya, Indonesia Posted: January 29, 2010 12:20 am Eastern By Bob Unruh © 2010 WorldNetDaily A prominent attorney who has shepherded a number of high-profile legal cases challenging Barack Obama'seligibility to be president has brought a "Quo Warranto" case to district court in Washington, D.C., alleging his allegiances have included Britain, Kenya and Indonesia. A Quo Warranto action, first recorded some 800 years ago, essentially is a demand to know by what authority a public figure is acting. The case, brought by California attorney Orly Taitz on behalf of herself, was assigned to Chief Judge Royce Lamberth. Taitz told WND that in a separate action she has filed a notice of appeal with the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals of the dismissal of a case she brought on behalf of Ambassador Alan Keyes and dozens of other individuals in California challenging Obama's eligibility. She previously attempted Quo Warranto cases on behalf of government officials, without response. This time she filed the action directly with the court on her own behalf. "The case revolves around the federal question of eligibility of the president under Quo Warranto," she wrote.

The Supreme Court has ruled that the actions of a parent cannot change the citizenship of someone born in the USA. Nor is there evidence (in the form of legal documents) that Obama was made an Indonesian citizen.

Really? Could you point me to such a decision? I do not doubt that someone in Obama's circumstance is entitled to reclaim his supposed citizenship, but it is my understanding that some action would be required on his part to do so.

All the right reasons to not just sit and wait.

With limited tools and resources we are just like the crew of Apollo 13 back many years ago, if we do not use every tool at our disposal we will perish.

If the constitution says why and who as the Law of the Land then ignoring it now will only compound further mistakes down the road.

The bottom line is this, Obama failed to qualify, its as simple as that.

Failed to qualify.

And he reminds us every day what a bunch of suckers we are, publicly mocking Americans that defy him, all because of the simple truth that he was born with divided loyalties.

Failed to qualify, failed in loyalty.

That will require proof that overturns the COLB from Hawaii.

There is no certificate of anything from Hawaii. All there have been are some disputed jpeg images which supposedly, if presented and valid, would not be sufficient documentation to enable one to obtain a passport.

.any child born to an American citizen is an American citizen, no matter where in the world the child is born.


WRONG....I was born in Germany, to American citizen parents, in a US military hospital. When I came to the USA I had to be naturalized...and have naturlization (citizenship) papers.

Any military dependent born overseas to American parents BEFORE 1965 was not considered a “citizen” for they had to have naturlization papers.

Obama, born in 1961, would have to have been NATURALIZED if he was born outside the US....regardless of the citizenship of the parents. He thus would not be NATURAL BORN

Maybe the two of you can help me. Just what law of the first Congress is being discussed here...
From the text of S. RES. 511
...Whereas such limitations would be inconsistent with the purpose and intent of the `natural born Citizen' clause of the Constitution of the United States, as evidenced by the First Congress's own statute defining the term `natural born Citizen';
I'd like to know which law they're talking about and get the text of the law.
I've looked at the Statutes at Large, 1789-1875 and don't find any laws that seem to cover this issue. Perhaps ya'll will help me out here and have better luck.

His mother was an American citizen, and any child born to an American citizen is an American citizen,

That would be news to thousands of children of American servicemen in Vietnam, Korea, Phillipines and Thailand.

You know, it's a funny thing. There are these things that are called "laws" and they don't always turn out to be what you imagine them to be.

The Courts and Congress have held it to mean anyone born in the USA, or born abroad of two American parents.
Can you give the cases where that was decided or the statute where it was enacted into law?
I would just take your word for it, but I'd like something more tangible than just your assurances or your word.

He believes that the court made a ruling when they didn’t even hear the case. According to Mr Rogers, refusing to hear the case is the same as issuing a ruling.

Impossible, since the Constitution doesn’t define natural born citizen.

The definition of "natural born citizen" is provided in very clear text in the background documents of the Founders. It is clearly one born of two American citizens. That crap about alien citizens giving birth to US citizens is crap lawyers made up and the courts had no backbone to dismiss.

So I guess you feel we should just wait out his 4 year term
Unfortunately, I do feel that way. The founding fathers gave us the mechanisms to verify a candidate's qualifications
1. Citizens vote for electors and can choose not to vote if a candidate doesn't qualify
2. The state can choose not to allow an elector for an unqualified candidate
3. Congress can refuse to accept electors for an unqualified candidate
4. Supreme Court can refuse to swear in an unqualified candidate
5. The media is free to report on a candidate's qualifications


We may have all failed in this case, but as much as I'd like Obama gone, the remedy at this point is impeachment if the congress decides to do that or electing someone else next time, not repeated lawsuits from citizens/states/soldiers. Lawsuits against a president's policy need to happen any time there is a constitutional question. Lawsuits against a president are a bad precedent IMHO - they are a distraction and impeachment is the way the president should be checked. You may or may not think there is merit to the current lawsuits, but I can certainly see the opportunity for constant meritless cases being brought against a president for the purpose of publicity and/or distraction.

Respecting the constitution is important, but so is respecting the decisions of citizens, states, congress, and the supreme court. Whether you agree with them or not they have made the decision that Obama was qualified. People on both sides claim the constitution is clear on natural-born, but there is uncertainty so I will accept the people's choice even though I strongly disagree with it. I was very unhappy with the left's failure to accept Bush's legitimacy after the people chose and I feel the same about people who deny Obama's legitimacy.

“That crap about alien citizens giving birth to US citizens is crap lawyers made up and the courts had no backbone to dismiss.”

You can call it anything you want, but courts will go by the “crap lawyers made up and the courts had no backbone to dismiss.”

Therefor, the idea that a military court martial will allow Lakin to disobey orders because Obama’s father was Kenyan is stupid. They won’t even consider the possibility that Obama isn’t President - UNLESS Lakin has a solid reason for believing Obama was born outside the US.

“According to Mr Rogers, refusing to hear the case is the same as issuing a ruling.”

If a court believes there is no legal basis for a case, they do not hear it anyways - they toss it out. That is what the US Supreme Court did with the case challenging Obama’s election based on his father’s Kenyan citizenship - they took it to conference and there were not 4 justices who thought it worth pursuing. So they rejected it.

Why do YOU think they denied the case a hearing? Indigestion? Didn’t like the winter weather in DC? Thought it wasn’t important to have a Constitutionally qualified President?

You shills ought to give this up. His mother was an American citizen, and any child born to an American citizen is an American citizen, no matter where in the world the child is born.

Which goes to show how clueless YOU are on this issue.

Any Citizen can be a member of Congress.

But an "natural-born Citizen" is required to be President.

I have given it to you before. Here it is again:

http://www.in.gov/judiciary/opinions/pdf/11120903.ebb.pdf

You don’t have to LIKE their reasoning, but the US Supreme Court refused to hear a similar case in Dec 2008. The Indiana Supreme Court upheld their ruling - and the cases they cite have been part of established law for a long time.

The courts are not going to overturn an election based on your whim.

Birther attempt at reasoning...and they wonder why the courts won’t back them up?
