The Indonesian connection is interesting and probably very important. I watched Berg's latest video and his point is well taken: according to him, even if BHO was born in Hawaii, he's most probably NOT eligible to be President because the Indonesian school documents declare him to have held citizenship there... that status being required for entering school.

All right, then so what? Berg's point is that this strips BHO of any claim as a natural born citizen of the US, and requires him to re-establish citizenship with a status as 'naturalized'... and Berg so far can't even figure out if that ever occurred. But it wouldn't matter: as 'naturalized' (as best), that would put him in the same Presidential category as Gov. Ah-nold: ineligible.

Now the response from the Obama camp would be something like "well, my parents wanted me to go to school, and nobody ever checked up on this stuff, so I guess they just declared me an Indonesian citizen strictly for the purposes of education... it was all a fraud; I still held a US passport." Indonesian law would seem to beg to differ.

We're kinda running out of time on this, eh?

That is generally correct but with a few minor differences.

Although I agree that a good legal case can be made about Indonesia, I don't think it has a chance politically. If Obama had been born in Hawaii, the court's are going to hold him eligible notwithstanding the Indonesia legal argument. Since I view the record at this point as being pretty clear that he was born in Mombasa, I tend to view the Indonesia issues as excess.

And although you are correct, we are running out of time, the situation presents a serious set of risks to the Republic. If Obama is elected and installed, the Constitution says clearly that he is not "eligible" to act as President.

So he can't implement any legal action in that capacity. Every bill he signs; every order he issues; every act he takes is subject to challenge in the local District Court. It is only a matter of time until some person who has a significant economic interest in some purported presidential action finds a judge willing to hear the case. At that point, we can tie up the federal government in a Constitutional Crisis that will last for some time.

So the issue may get some traction in the next few weeks.
