Two of the plaintiffs in court cases against Sen. Barack Obama, the president-elect, are working to move their cases forward before his presidential inauguration.
Philip J. Berg, the attorney who filed suit against Mr. Obama challenging him to produce his original birth certificate to prove he meets the constitutional requirements to serve as U.S. president. Mr. Berg filed a Writ of Certiorari in the U.S. Supreme Court late in October, in an effort to force Mr. Obama to produce the document.
Accordingly, the U.S. Supreme Court has said that Mr. Obama, the DNC and all co-defendants are to respond to the writ, on or before Dec. 1.
The judge in Mr. Berg's original case ruled that Mr. Berg does not have standing to enforce the constitutional requirements on a presidential candidate. Mr. Berg appealed the ruling to the Supreme Court.

...The Sheeple have spoken.
Unless of course he was found to be lying. Then it will matter.
Something that needs to be done in every State in the next couple of years is to establish a legal requirement that ALL Candidates for every State Elected Office must prove their citizenship and qualifications before being allowed on the Ballot.
Voters do not vote for any Federal candidate, they are all Statewide candidates; Presidential Electors, Senators, and Congressmen. For Surrick to tell Berg that he had “no standing” to bring suit is a direct slap at every legitimate voter in the State, and should be overturned.
I will be contacting my State legislators, as well as the Governor and Secretary of State, to find out just what needs to be done to accomplish it here in PA. I suggest everyone should do the same in their own State. Make them live up to their own laws!
Dear (Legislator)
During the current election it has come to light that apparently there are no Federal or State Provisions to ensure a Presidential candidate’s eligibility before placing their name on any ballot. This came to light because Sen. Barack 0bama has steadfastly refused to provide a certified birth certificate showing that he qualifies as “Native Born” as required by Article II Section 1 of the US Constitution.
The applicable section is as follows:
No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States.
Furthermore, in Sen. Obama’s case, there is good reason to believe he may have at some point renounced his US Citizenship and embraced foreign citizenship, even to the extent of traveling under a foreign passport.
There have been several challenges to Sen. Obama’s eligibility in numerous lawsuits filed across the Country. Should he win election, be elected by the Electoral College and sworn in, and then subsequently found to be ineligible, he would be a usurper and any actions, orders, etc. by him would be null and void. This would spawn a Constitution crisis.
Therefore I request that you submit legislation to the Pennsylvania Legislature that directs the Secretary of State prior to placing an individual’s name on the ballot in Pennsylvania, to verify a Presidential Candidate’s eligibility in accordance with Article II, Section 1 of the US Constitution by personally viewing and verifying certified birth records and to make a good faith attempt to determine if any subsequent actions pertaining to citizenship occurred. This would apply to all candidates for President, including incumbents.
We are required at several times in our life to present valid documentation for things as mundane as drivers licenses, passports, etc. The requirements of qualification for every State Elected Office should be met prior to acceptance to placement on the Ballot. Surely, requiring proof of eligibility for President, or any Elected Office in the State of Pennsylvania, should require as much.
Sincerely,
Full Name and Address

I believe the Dems would amend the Constitution in record time..............or declare BO to be a US citizen by virtue of birth...........
“No one, aside from Department of Health officials, has seen the original document. “
And where are these people now?
Somehow, Pissant, I just don’t see this thing coming to fruition. I hope I’m wrong though.
It wouldn’t matter now if they did. No court is going to remove him from office and even if they did we get Biden.
Can’t amend the Constitution prior to inauguration. However, can you say President Biden? Because that is what will happen if Obama is found ineligible.
Thanks for keeping this afloat. We saw what not emphasizing this did for us. Might as well emphasize it. Nothing to lose now, is there? The fact remains that The Official President-Elect FOUGHT the release of his vault certificate. WHY?
Whether you voted for him or not, the proof of his U.S. citizenship should be a matter of complete zenith paramountcy.
Good luck but I think there was more evidence of cover up with the Vince Foster suicide/murder than we have here and look where that got us. These people are protected by the media and their spin. It’s disgusting but a fact of life.
Biden would be marginally better, only because he’s a complete dufus..............
everyone understands that a birth certificate has no information that could be deemed sensitive, especially back in the 60s (prior to mandatory ssno assignment)
so... push the point... WHAT IS THERE TO HIDE?
They will if he’s not eligible. Nevertheless, there is a chance that he was born in Hawaii, and is a natural born citizen - yet the COLB he presented is a fraud (which it is). That is not just a lie, that is a felony.
Why not, what have we got to lose?
I thought that there was another lawsuit, filed by a set of electors and Alan Keyes. I would think that electors and a candidate would most definitely have standing.
But will the SCOTUS have the nerve to actually demand that he put up or shut up? They have no way of enforcing their decisions........
...The Sheeple have spoken.
Yeah?
Here in California 4 judges' opinions trump 4,000,000 voters.
And I'm so sick and tired of the Obots posting that fake Certificate of Life Birth on FactCheck.org and saying it proves Obama was born in the US. Tha has been de-bunked more times than Bigfoot...
Any more update on those 24 electors filing suit to see Obama's vault copy birth certificate?
