Was Obama an Indonesian citizen? [Evidence raises concerns over presidential qualification]

WND ^ | May 08, 2011 | Aaron Klein

[RobinMasters]

Evidence continues to mount that President Obama was adopted by his Indonesian stepfather, Lolo Soetoro, raising concerns over his presidential eligibility.

Obama's American mother, Ann Dunham, separated from her first husband, Barack Obama Sr., in 1963 when the president was 2 years old. Dunham and Obama Sr. are reported to have later divorced.

In Hawaii, Dunham married Lolo Soetoro, an Indonesian, in 1965 and moved to Indonesia in October 1967.

Divorce documents filed in Hawaii on Aug. 20, 1980, refer to Obama as the "child" of both Soetoro and Dunham, indicating a possible adoption in the U.S.

The divorce records state: "The parties have 1 child(ren) below age 18 and 1 child(ren) above 18 but still dependent on the parties for education."

The records further identify the "oldest child" as "in university."

"Mother resides with youngest child in 4-bedroom house provided by mother's employer," continues the divorce documents.

The documents identify the minor as Obama's stepsister, Maya Soetoro.

Caught it. Thanks.

Yes.... THERE WAS NOT PAKISTANI TRAVEL BAN.

That we are still forced to point this out, and frequently attacked for daring to point it out, is truly a testament to how bent birthers are.

“To date, not a single court has moved to take this issue up. And, in every understanding of existing US statutory and constitutional law, the ONLY way to remove a sitting president is by impeachment in the House and conviction in the Senate.”

Objection. Assumes facts not in evidence!

IMO the sole reason the 9th Circuit agreed to hear oral arguments in Drake v. Obama is their extreme discomfort with the Obama DOJ contention that for a sitting president, ONLY the Senate gets to interpret the constitutional meaning of “natural born citizen” eligibility.

My take from the oral argument is that even these three Democrat appointed judges (one Carter, two Clinton) couldn't stomach the idea of stripping SCOTUS of the exclusive power to rule of the meaning of NBC.

Judge Berzon said she was “concerned” by this “vague” argument (my children knew it was time to cringe when I used the words “I'm concerned”). Berzon is referring to the same argument that both you, BHO, and the Obama DOJ made in their brief and oral argument, the argument that impeachment is the only remedy for ineligibility and that conviction (and definition of ineligibility) is the exclusive right of the Senate.

Berzon followed that up with “That's not what it (the Constitution) says” and “Where does it say that?

Berzon specifically challenges the Obama DOJ argument that ineligibility, a condition which pre-dates inauguration, can be grounds for impeachment! Here is my own version of the transcript:

36:00 Constitutional discussion with DEJUTE

BERZON: If we did need to get to the political question…I was a little concerned about …you try to point to textual commitments in the Constitution to other branches, but they’re a little…vague, are they not? What provisions of the Constitution do you think are committing these eligibility determinations of an officer of a candidate, of an officer, of an actual official to Congress, the Electoral College or somewhere else?

DEJUTE: Right, well it isn’t that general, your Honor. It isn’t a federal official or some other person, it’s the sitting president.

BERZON: Alright.

DEJUTE: It’s a distinction worth noting because the commitment to the House is that that body has the sole authority under the Constitution…

BERZON: …to impeach.

DEJUTE: To impeach. And the Senate has the sole authority…

37:00 BERZON: But this wouldn’t be grounds for impeachment, would it?

DEJUTE: Wouldn’t it be a high crime and misdemeanor? I don’t know…we’re in the area of there has clearly been no case law. But I do know that if the Constitution says that the only body that can remove a sitting president is the Congress in both houses, then the…

37:22 BERZON: Where does it say that?

DEJUTE: Well, I just suggested, and you did accurately say “impeachment”…the House says that the House has the sole responsibility to impeach. The Senate has the sole responsibility to convict, and in the Nixon case, the United States Supreme Court has cautioned courts to allow impeachment proceedings as a quintessential non-judiciable element and to stay away because that is what the Senate has the sole responsibility to do, and, by definition, not the courts.

No he can't because Stanley Ann was never legally married to anyone before Soetoro.

Take that argument up with the divorce judge and the county clerk who filed the divorce records.

[bgill]

Australia is surely an insignificant tiny island. ;-)

What in bloody blazes are you talking about? I posted to edge and you snipe in with something off the wall about Australia and for some reason ping Fred. You've been jumping on my case lately and it's becoming old and annoying. You've been hollering at other posters, as well. Buh bye.

Take that argument up with the divorce judge and the county clerk who filed the divorce records.

Why do you suggest that? Judge Samuel Pailthorpe King died of a head injury this past Pearl Harbor Day at the age of 94. He was born in Hankow, China in 1916. King was the student body president while attending the Punahou School and later graduated cum laude from Yale Law School. His father was appointed Governor of Hawaii in 1953.

Although King was ignorant of the facts in this matter, the FACT remains that Stanley Ann Dunham was never legally married to anyone before Soetoro, so the divorce was not legal.

[curiosity]

There is a sworn affidavit

Riiight. A "sworn affidavit" that isn't even signed in the supposed "whitness's" real name! LOL. Try using that in court.

[Brown Deer]

(as anyone who isn't an idiot knows)

How would you know that then?

[little jeremiah]

It just says a “wife” in the Philippines. Stanely Ann’s name is not mentioned in that regard.

Edge919, have you read the “Auntie” thread in its entirety? After studying that thread, I don’t think Stanley Ann is Zero’s mother. In fact, I am convinced she is not. Neither parent is the actual parent.

[allmendream]

Par for the course with delusional birthers.

Nevermind evidence: We so WANT there to be a travel ban on Pakistan in 1981 that evidence no longer matters and anyone who brings up the truth is attacked.

Thus a recent State Legislator who sounded like an absolute RETARD by talking about a 1981 travel ban.

How long will birthers have to be corrected on this matter?

Until doomsday and beyond apparently.

[danamco]

Now we into the count down of releasing the “Death” Certificate!!!

[danamco]

Now you have 0bama working for the CIA? That is as crazy as talking about a nonexistent travel ban.

Well have you noticed anything with this usurper "administration"(?) that is not CRAZY???

So if you want to continue to stick your head in the sand like an Ostrich so be it. However, unfortunately there are some people here that are confused about the travel ban vs. travel advisory!!!

[SvenMagnussen]

“Where’s his immigration file?”

Sealed by EO within a few hours after Obama was sworn in. He’s so transparent he seals it to prove he has nothing to hide.

[danamco]

You kind of giving yourself away by being sourced by the Dung Head Media!!!

Are you just a FINO???

[Brown Deer]

Nevermind evidence:

I'm still waiting for the delusional 0bot to SHOW US EVIDENCE THAT 0BAMA HAD A LEGAL U.S. PASSPORT IN 1981!

[allmendream]

Hey, I have an idea!!!

Maybe Taitz Corsi and Farrah can lead a NEW charge - and put billboards up all over asking “WHERE IS THE PASSPORT?”.

And we can hold conservative commentators and candidates to a litmus test - and if they don't sign on that we need to see his passport we can dismiss them from any further contribution to conservatism!

We can make sure we prop up the “WHERE IS THE PASSPORT?” movement with lies about there being a “travel ban” on Afghanistan and castigate any who point out that there was, in fact, no such thing.

And when 0bama releases a passport and the State Department confirms that he has a U.S. passport record - we can all say that it was a BIG OBVIOUS FAKE! And why did it take him so long to release it? And what else is he hiding?

I mean, really, what could POSSIBLY go wrong with such a course?

[Brown Deer]

The kool-aid drinker believes that 0bama showed us a real birth certifcate.

[danamco]

Thanks for the back up. I think ODH is staying toooo much in the FLA baking sun!!!

[El Sordo]

Such as?

[MHGinTN]

Notice how one or two of the obamanoid scum have tried to change the subject/issue to focus upon the faux Pakistan travel ban? These vermin are becoming so predictable ...

IIRC, there was an underage Kenyan girl (so her name is redacted) sponsored by a Christian group who was “involved” with Senior and who was deported because the Christian group withdrew academic and visa sponsorship for the girl after she disobeyed their orders NOT to go to the UK in circumstances which were suspicious for an abortion.
