From what I read at http://www.renewamerica.com/columns/williams/120104 it seems to me that the GA SOS is required to make sure that the candidate is eligible for the position being sought. So that would involve having legal proof of meeting all the eligibility requirements - age, residency, and natural born status which would involve both birth place and parentage.
I saw a document with Malihi’s signature on it, requiring Obama to appear and present all his birth records, social security records, passport records, and selective service records, and for the HDOH to provide the original birth certificate as well as the microfilm roll in which Obama’s BC is filmed. I assumed that it was something ordered by Malihi. But when I was at ObamaReleaseYourRecords trying to understand exactly what happened in HI on Friday, it pointed out that Orly had copied her subpoena/request onto a blank form signed by Malihi.
So my question is whether Malihi actually ordered Obama to appear and for he and the HDOH to produce those documents so that the GA SOS could determine whether Obama’s name could be placed on the ballot. If so, is a judge’s order different than a subpoena? Does the HDOH have to obey Malihi’s order, if it was indeed an order?
your link indicates that both issues are being addressed. My assumption would be that EDINVA is correct in that it would be Obama’s burden to provide proof that he is eligible. If that is what the SOS requires.
Do you have a link to the document you saw requiring Obama to appear and present all his birth records, social security records, passport records, and selective service records, and for the HDOH to provide the original birth certificate as well as the microfilm roll in which Obama’s BC is filmed?
For the time being, please read this to get a better understanding of Georgia subpoenas in case you haven’t seen this:
