The U.S. Supreme Court and the U.S. Justice Department today confirmed that documentation challenging Barack Obama's eligibility to be president has arrived and soon will be evaluated.

Confirmation came from DefendOurFreedoms.us, the foundation through which California attorney Orly Taitz has been working on a number of cases that raise questions over Obama's birth location, and therefore his qualifications to be president under the Constitution's demand that the office be occupied only by a "natural born" citizen.

According to the blog , Taitz was informed by Karen Thornton of the Department of Justice that all of the case documents and filings have arrived and have been forwarded to the Office of Solicitor General Elena Kagan, including three dossiers and the Quo Warranto case.

"Coincidently, after Dr. Taitz called me with that update, she received another call from Officer Giaccino at the Supreme Court," the posting said. "Officer Giaccino stated both pleadings have been received and being analyzed now."

The report from the Supreme Court also said the documents that Taitz hand-delivered to Chief Justice John Roberts at his appearance at the University of Idaho a little over a week ago also were at the Supreme Court.

WND has reported on dozens of legal challenges to Obama's status as a "natural born citizen." The Constitution, Article 2, Section 1, states, "No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President."

No, you are mistaken.

A person who is born here to parents who are foreign nationals residing here legally is considered a native born citizen, but can be registered as a citizen of his/her parents nationality. President Barack Obama’s father was a British citizen and registered his son as a British citizen and later as a Kenyan citizen. Whether born in Hawaii or not, he is NOT a natural born Citizen.

“A Natural Born Citizen is born to two U.S. Citizens on U.S. soil.”

See: http://www.naturalborncitizen.org/

and: http://naturalborncitizen.wordpress.com/

The explicit description for “native born citizen” has been spelled out in case law. Suggest you query for “Wong Kim Ark”, a SCOTUS case that delineated native born citizen. Nowhere in that case is a person born in the U.S.A. of foreign parents EVER described as a natural born citizen.

Okay, then can someone tell what type of citizen can I be classified as? I was born in a United States Army Hospital, Korea, both Parents-American Citizens./Just Asking - seoul62........

I have read Wong Kim Ark. It held that the plaintiff, who was born in California to two alien Chinese parents, was a natural-born citizen.

My brother was born in an Air Force hospital in Okinawa (a US territory at the time prior to being given back to Japan) to two US citizens. I remember at the time my parents telling us that their son could NOT be U.S. president because of where he was born.....whether true or not, I can’t say, but I always remembered that.
