Washington D.C. (MMD Newswire) February 4, 2015 – The last of the legal challenges to the eligibility of Barack Hussein Obama to be President of the United States was docketed by Tracy A. Fair at the United States Supreme Court today. In a surprise move, Mrs. Fair argued in her Petition not that Obama was ineligible conceding that point was now moot. Instead, Mrs. Fair raised the question of the eligibility of declared Presidential candidates Senators Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz, and Governor Bobby Jindal. In particular, Mrs. Fair argued that unresolved is whether or not these three are in fact "natural born Citizens".
Mrs. Fair said: "Rubio and Jindal were born in the United States to parents who were not United States citizens at the time of their respective births. Ted Cruz was born in Canada to parents only one of whom (his mother) was a United States citizen. Under the law existing at the time of their birth, each became a 'citizen' of the United States at birth. Marco Rubio and Bobby Jindal by the 14th Amendment, Ted Cruz by statute."
As most all know, under Article II, Section 1, clause 5 of the Constitution: "No person except a natural born Citizen . . ., shall be eligible to the Office of President." Mrs. Fair continued: "That phrase 'natural born Citizen' has yet to be defined by the Supreme Court. So are they "natural born Citizens" eligible to be President? I think the People deserve to know the answer to that question before the next Presidential Campaign starts in earnest."
Mrs. Fair, who has shepherded her case through the complexities of the legal system by herself to the Supreme Court concluded: "My efforts were never about Mr. Obama as a person or a politician. Instead, my efforts were about insuring that the Constitution was respected and enforced by those charged with those duties. Where a phrase in the Constitution - such as 'natural born Citizen' - is undefined, it is the duty of the Supreme Court to interpret such a phrase. As the Supreme Court itself said in the 1922 case of Fairchild v. Hughes, I have: 'the right, possessed by every citizen, to require that the Government be administered according to law.' By repeatedly refusing to 'say what the law is' regarding 'natural born Citizen', the Supreme Court would abolish the rule of law and replace it with the rule of their whim and caprice to whatever political ends that super-legislature may possess."

Obama is as much a US citizen as
the EXEMPT US Congress gives a whit
about their Oaths to the Constitution.
You go, girl!
Are you a US Citizen?
Then you are eligible. Regardless of pervious law and certainly regardless of the Constitution, if you are a citizen, no problem.
Hundreds of lower have ruled and the SC won’t hear or overturn them.
The meaning of “Is”...
‘Natural Born’ as long as they weren’t Caesarian........................

I think the headline is misleading.
It does not appear to me that the complainant is specifically challenging anyone’s eligibility at this juncture. She appears to be asking SCOTUS to define “Natural Born Citizen”, and she used those three men as examples.
IF SCOTUS does what she asks, then their eligibility, and the eligibility of everyone else, will be easily determined.
Indeed.
"She appears to be asking SCOTUS to define “Natural Born Citizen”, and she used those three men as examples."
Then it should be amended to include Obama.
After eight years of a Kenyan Muslim? Are the commie ‘RAT libs serious? Anyone “challenging” Cruz, Rubio and Jindal needs to have their commie @$$ thrown in prison. The Kenyan did away with that president must be a natural born citizen requirement.
Heh. “No standing” ... as if the Courts are consistent.
It originally did include Obama. Obama’s eligibility was the original catalyst for he lawsuit. She has recently stipulated that at this point in time, his specific eligibility is a moot point.
Did you read the article?
no, stop girl.....moot point. They are all clearly “citizens” and no one is going to try and figure out the unknowable.....what was meant by NBC.
Apparently, you did not read the article, either.
Natural born = born a citizen. Naturalized = became a citizen through the immigration process. Obama, Cruz, Jindal, and Rubio are eligible. Arnold Schwarzenegger (sp?) is not eligible.
Well, let’s be fair and throw Øbama’s name in there too.
“Natural born = born a citizen. Naturalized = became a citizen through the immigration process. Obama, Cruz, Jindal, and Rubio are eligible. Arnold Schwarzenegger (sp?) is not eligible.”
You are correct.
Then it’s not moot.
