Donofrio v. Wells
In October 2008, Leo Donofrio filed suit against Nina Mitchell Wells, the New Jersey Secretary of State to challenge the eligibility of Obama, Republican presidential candidate John McCain and the Socialist Workers Party candidate Roger Calero.
Donofrio asserted that all three candidates were ineligible: Obama due to having dual U.S. and British nationality at birth (the latter via Obama’s father), McCain due to being born in the Panama Canal Zone, and Calero due to allegedly still having Nicaraguan citizenship.
Donofrio was not among those who claimed Obama might have been born outside Hawaii. Also, Donofrio did not challenge the fact that Obama is a U.S. citizen and instead challenged only whether Obama is a natural-born citizen.
An application for emergency relief was denied by the New Jersey Superior Court, Appeallate Division.
An application for a stay was denied by the New Jersey Supreme Court.
And application for a stay of the Electoral College vote pending the filing of a Writ of Certiorari was denied by Supreme Court Justice David Souter.
The application was resubmitted to Justice Clarence Thomas.
The application was then referred to the full Supreme Court by Justice Thomas. The application reached the United States Supreme Court on December 8, 2008, and the Court declined without comment to grant it.
The Electoral College voted on December 15, 2008 and elected Barack Obama and Joseph Biden. Both Houses of Congress certified the votes of the electors without objection on January 8, 2009.
