There are about two dozen cases in which courts determined that candidates (or even elected officials) were not qualified to hold certain public offices. In almost all cases, those were candidates for local offices or state legislatures, who were required to live within the boundaries of their district.

There is at least one case, however, in southern California, where the candidate/office holder was running for reelection when it was established that she was an illegal alien, with no right even to register to vote, much less to run for public office.

The problem with amateurs in election law bringing cases like this is they do not know and use the prior cases which demonstrate how to establish jurisdiction in a way that the trial court cannot deny it. Of course, any judge wants a case like this to go away without having to decide it. That's exactly why the case has to be set up properly from the get-go.

Berg blew it, and gave the judge an opening to throw the case out. IMHO. I hope the case is better handled when it is filed in all states that Obama wins, to obtain a court order that his Presidential Electors cannot vote for him because he is not qualified to be elected President.

These things are relatively simple. But you've got to KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING.

Thanks for the information and clarification too. Do you think that the case in Washington and Georgia, (”Lawsuits in Washington and Georgia are seeking state superior courts to force the states’ secretary of state, as the chief state elections officer, to require Obama to produce original birth records from Hawaii, or else decertify him as a candidate for the presidency.” (from: http://www.newsmax.com/headlines/obama_birth_certificate/2008/10/24/143882.html )will have any standing?

Can you get any google hits for this one?
I remember this. He relatives squealed on her and there was serious talk of prosecuting her

Alpine California or Antelope California?
Her case is very close to Obama's

Why don't you file a case? If anyone could win it, you could.

Are you in the process of drafting a model complaint for others to use?
