The paths of President Barack Obama and Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach are crossing once again.
But this time, it is not over immigration.
It is over the enduring assertion that Obama is not eligible to be president because they doubt he was born in Hawaii.
Kobach, who is an informal adviser to the Romney campaign on immigration policy, heads the all-Republican Kansas State Objections Board, which is considering removing Obama from the state's November ballot.
The issue -- which Kobach made a part of his election campaign in 2010 -- has been reignited by a claim from a Manhattan, Kan., resident that Obama is not eligible to be president because his father was from Kenya. The resident, Joe Montgomery, also questions whether Obama has a valid birth certificate.
"We have to take our responsibilities seriously," Kobach said. "Taking it seriously means that we make a decision with all of the evidence that can be obtained before we decide it."
Kobach, the architect of some of the most hard-line state-level immigration policies in the United States, including those of Arizona and Alabama, has been critical of Obama for what he says is the current administration's failure to address illegal immigration. Kobach also was the force behind a strict immigration component in the Republican party platform that was recently adopted at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla.
The board, which would have the final say on the ballot absent a court challenge, plans to meet again Monday and may rule then.

Do it Kansas! Kick the first pebble down the hill.
Do it Kansas! Kick the first pebble down the hill.
Is this Kansas SOS the real deal or a blowhard like the Georgia guy was?
BTTT
On what grounds can a federal court reverse a Kansas ballot eligibility ruling? If that was the case, there would simply not BE any state rules.
(speaking strictly in the legal sense, of course not in the looking glass world of our lawless/dictatorship society)
Monday, Monday, will it ever come? Nope.
Kobach is a rising star in the party. I could see him as a veep candidate soon
Love to see this!
Yes very likely but the publicity over this will be bad for Zero! It will generate particularly bad PR if the Federal Judge is a Rat appointee.
Again I don’t know where he was born, given the evidence I have seen. However there is something “bad” about his basic documentation. So “bad” he is going to great lengths & expense to hide it. We need to know what it is!
This is a loser move. All this will do is create a distraction from the real issues...and garner sympathy for the poser. The LAST thing we need is the media to have yet another excuse to not cover the economy and foreign policy. THOSE need to be the issues...not this. It’s too late for THIS. It should have been brought up and dealt with in ‘08. Doing so now is a bad move.
Why should the American electorate have to deal with anything hidden about a candidate for high office? Where’s the transparency?
