During a hearing in U.S. District Court Monday, an attorney for an Army officer fighting deployment to Iraq questioned Barack Obamas legal right to serve as president, asserting he was born in Kenya, not Hawaii.
Judge Clay Land, inquisitive throughout the 90-minute hearing, said he will issue a decision on Capt. Connie Rhodes request for a temporary restraining order by noon Wednesday.
Rhodes was represented by Orly Taitz, a California lawyer and a national figure in the birther movement that claims Obama does not meet the qualifications to be president.
California attorney Orly Taitz, the president of the Defend Our Freedoms Foundation, stands on the steps of the Columbus federal courthouse Friday with what she claims is a copy of a birth certificate for President Barack Obama from Mombass, British Protectorate of Kenya.
Maj. Rebecca Ausprung, with the Department of the Army, Litigation Division in Washington, told Land this case was about Rhodes, not Obama.
There was a lack of any reference to Capt. Rhodes, Ausprung said. This case is about Capt. Rhodes and her deployment.
Taitz kept going back to Obamas birth certificate. Twice she called Obama a usurper.

To whom did he provide the actual paper document, with raised seal, signature etc?
Which is the higher: the law that protects those that evade the Constitution or the Constitution???
And if you ignore the law to get Obama then where are you any better than he is?
To whom is he required to provide it to?
I don't know about that either but section three certainly instructs Congress to name a replacement if the President elect "shall have failed to qualify". This means that the burden of proof is on the President elect and on Congress to ensure that he "qualifies". Since, we're talking about the "President elect", this qualification thing has nothing to do with the electoral college tabulation and verification process. That has to have been done and accepted by the Congress BEFORE there is a "legal" President elect. This "qualification" being sought must therefore pertain to whatever else there is to "qualify" for. Only thing left in the Constitution at this stage is the eligibility requirements from Article two.
This section says to Congress that it is responsible for naming a replacement in the event the President elect dies before becoming President or if the President elect fails to qualify. They must know the answer to BOTH of these conditions and are instructed to act accordingly. Did they do their job? Doesn't look like it.
Most criminals and lawless people do.
ooooh....touche’ Chip!
“Would you be a lawyer by chance?”
ROFLMAO
NS also hates anyone that lives in the South and hates the South. He has an abnormal obsession with Abe Lincoln too. Just say something about dishonest Abe, he will get all wee weed up.
If Obama is not qualified to be president then he would also not be qualified to be president elect, right? So then wouldn't the 12th Amendment, and its provisions for what to do when no candidate receives a majority of the electoral votes cast, be the applicable amendment and not the 20th?
Oh and he defends Islam and Muslims. Some other FReepers found a thread from 2002 where he was raving about Islam and defending it.
As do most law abiding people, too. Or have you never been involved with a political party, had a will made, or bought a house?
On August 25, 2009, Wiki had a color-coded global map of countries using different date formats (search wiki date format) and Kenya jumped out all by itself (in purple) as using two formats, one of which matched Lucas Smith’s Obama Kenya Birth Certificate.
List of the world locations by date format in use as of (8/25/09) was:
Kenya (d/m/yyyy and m/d/yyyy)
On August 27, 2009 an Obama supporter named Mystlylplx edited the Wiki date format page to show Kenya as only using dd/mm/yyyy and admitted it in Lucas Smith’s video comments. The Mystlylplx edits are also recorded in the Wiki record of edits for the date format page.
As of Sep 14, 2009 the dual date formats for Kenya have been restored to the dual dates that had been shown August 25, 2009:
Kenya (dd/mm/yyyy)or (mm/dd/yyyy) and the map on the page shows Kenya in purple as a dual date format country.
I suspect that Obama supporters will continue to attempt to edit the Wiki page to undermine the Lucas Smith BC.
You can admit it that youre an Obot defending socialism.
Why would I want to lie?

” The President is Commander in Chief of the Army. ‘
What kind of Commander in Chief would send one single solitary soldier or Marine to war,
knowing that some of them might have some doubt as to his Constitutional eligibility ?
What kind of Commander in Chief would not immediately call Hawaii...
or Kenya or Vancouver or Indonesia
and order them to release any and all information
to erase all doubts ?
How does a Commander in Chief sleep at night,
knowing that just one of those many flag draped coffins returning to Dover
might contain the remains of a Marine or soldier who had questions about his
eligibility ?
Obama lets Assistant United States Attorneys from the DOJ and JAGs plead his case,
rather than stepping up and producing a simple $12 dollar birth certificate.
That’s the kind of Commander in Chief our military has sending them off to war.
Yes and any time now you'll regale us with tales of the lost cause and how Davis was right and the South is going to rise again...someday...maybe...eventually.
You mean the loopholes in the law.
not any one man
unless its macdaddy longlegs, of course.
I wouldn't want to see the law twisted to get anyone.
unless it's you doing the twisting, right??
Lying and obfuscating just comes so easy to you, doesn't it???
I would hardly classify you and a handful of your buddies with 'most of FR'. But you always did have a way with...exaggerations.
