Attention must be paid.
I wonder what happens if its shown he is ineligible for Presidency, and rather than stepping down he engages a long drawn out legal battle.
Is this just something that will continually be defeated on a technicality? I saw Berg’s lawsuit was dismissed because he “didn’t have standing” or something like that. If every judge in the US decides to sidestep these cases, what can be done? We may be screwed. Most lefties don’t care about the constitution when it becomes inconvenient for them. That’s why we have some imaginary right-to-privacy that thrusts abortion on demand on all of us. If that shiite can be pushed on us, how hard is it to believe the judiciary wont screw with the constitution and the public again?
QUIZ: Who said the following?
“Senator McCain has earned the right to be his party’s nominee and no legal loophole should prevent him from competing in the campaign.”
ANSWER:Obama as quoted by the WashingtonPost.com in an article posted on March 1st 2008.
Strangely, the article was titled “Obama Backs Law That Aids McCain”. Somehow I think it was really a case of Obama backing a law that aided himself.
The author needs to do more homework...even basic research on the topic would reveal the irrelevance of this question. Nobody denies he had the Kenyan citizenship, which was conferred upon him upon Kenyan independence (based on his father's Kenyan birth.
In fact, the site explains it clearly: “When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom’s dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children. "
See Chapter VI, Section 87 (and related) of the Constitution of Kenya.

he defrauded tha nation. he is a liar.
This is too important an issue for questions like this.
See British Nationality Act of 1948 (Part II, Section 5): Subject to the provisions of this section, a person born after the commencement of this Act shall be a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies by descent if his father is a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies at the time of the birth.
There is no dispute that Obama’s father was a citizen of Kenya and therefore a citizen of the U.K.
The more interesting question is what country issued the passport Obama used to visit Pakistan while he was in college, sometime around 1981?
Actually, this can be determined by the Courts. This is a major Constitutional issue and just like the line item veto, the Justices slapped that piece of legislation down. The Constitution can be changed but only through the amendment process.
We’ve got to get people educated on these Constutional matters. People have elected men/women to work for them who are usurping the Constitution. Moreover, the media is helping them to get away with this insanity.
She needs to file against the 0ne!
Whether or not Obama is a citizen or eligible for the presidency, trying to prove he is not because he supported McCain’s eligibility - does not compute. Reminds me of all the articles that “proved” every poll was wrong and McCain was going to win in a landslide.
Wishing things were the way you want them and grasping at every straw is a liberal trait. Get over it. Stick to the facts.
I noticed some liberals have been posting on other boards that John McCain wasn’t born in the USA either and he’s as guilty as Obama for running an illegal campaign. I bet they are rehasing this stuff to get the judges to throw the Obama lawsuit out.
I thought military births on bases outside the US still meant a child was born as a natural citizen of the United States? I don’t know the answer to that.
Now there’s talk that Clinton shouldn’t be serving as a Secretary of State because of some constitutional law. I guess she got a raise of $3000 or so as a Senate member and that would disqualify her. I wonder will happen with that now?
All those people that said Bush stole the 2000 election and was in the White House illegally ought to take notice that Obama should never enter the front door!!
Recognizing that John Sidney McCain, III, is a natural born citizen.
Whereas the Constitution of the United States requires that, to be eligible for the Office of the President, a person must be a ‘‘natural born Citizen’’ of the United States;
Whereas the term ‘‘natural born Citizen’’, as that term appears in Article II, Section 1, is not defined in the Constitution of the United States;
Whereas there is no evidence of the intention of the Framers or any Congress to limit the constitutional rights of children born to American citizens serving in the military nor to prevent those children from serving as their country’s President;
Whereas such limitations would be inconsistent with the purpose and intent of the ‘‘natural born Citizen’’ clause of the Constitution of the United States, as evidenced by the First Congress’s own statute defining the term ‘‘natural born Citizen’’;
Whereas the well-being of all citizens of the United States is preserved and enhanced by the men and women who are assigned to serve our country outside of our national borders;
Whereas previous presidential candidates were born outside of the United States of America and were understood to be eligible to be President; and
Whereas John Sidney McCain, III, was born to American citizens on an American military base in the Panama Canal Zone in 1936: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That John Sidney McCain, III, is a ‘‘natural born Citizen’’ under Article II, Section 1, of the Constitution of the United States.
Since John McCain was actually born in Colon, Panama not on that military base in the Canal Zone as his birth certificate which was made public only after this resolution indicates, is it possible that Obama offered that 5th "Whereas" as a gratuity to McCain, buying his silence on this issue???
And yet McCain was born to American citizens but Obama was not. Forgery or no forgery, Obama has not one strike against him but two.
