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.
"I look forward to receiving defendant Obama's response to the writ and am hopeful the U. S. Supreme Court will review Berg v. Obama. I believe Mr. Obama is not a constitutionally-qualified natural-born citizen and is ineligible to assume the office of President of the United States."
Mr. Obama put an electronic photo of a birth certification on his "Fight the Smears" Web site, a document that his critics have found unconvincing. The raised seal and authoritative signature needed to validate the document cannot be seen on the scan. The Obama campaign was unwilling to release the

Ah...makes sense. I’ve tried to think what would happen if the supremes declared him ineligible...would he go to jail?
Because his mother registered it with the state when she returned from Kenya after OHB was born?
What would the ramifications be if he was somehow (miraculously) declared inelligble before January?
Would there be another election then?
The Electors can elect anyone they want. I suspect Biden would become President. The Vice Presidency would remain vacant, to be filled under the provisions of the 25th Amendment. Or, the Electors could elect someone else Vice President, perhaps Hillary.
I was driving into work today, listening to Quinn & Rose talk about this and the thought occurred to me that it’s essentially too late to do anything about questioning his birth certificate. Now that Pres-elect Hussein has the office, he pretty much has at his disposal the ability to conjure up a completely valid looking COLB by fiat.
I mean, if you saw his birth certificate displayed as evidence it in court (if you could envision him actually answering a summons), wouldn’t you have serious doubt as to its authenticity? It could have all the perfectly proper seals and stamps and watermarks, and it’s entirely possible the document was generated from thin air by a Executive Branch department created solely to make a birth certificate.
Don’t know how anyone can consider whether or not Obama is constitutionally fit for the office he seeks to be a waste of time. He has not shown any birth certificate much less a fake “certificate of live birth”. I had to show a birth certificate for my son to play little league for gosh sakes...isn’t the Presidency a little more important then a 11 year old playing short-stop?
What is the big deal ... if he was legally born here show the certificate... yet he obfuscates for some reason.
It is a big deal if he is not qualified to hold the office under the constitution he is going to swear to uphold!
He hasn't been sworn in yet. The delegates haven't given him their votes yet, either. Actually, he's still considered a candidate.
I've not seen anything that says an Hawaiin official said he was born in Hawaii. Do you have at least one instance you can cite? Thanks.
There may be only a 5% chance that there is something to this. However, this great nation now has a terminal disease. Even a 5% chance of a cure is something to bring me hope.
The Obama camp just wants to see just how gullible some people could be. They put out misinformation to see who bites. I agree, Obama should release the birth certificate, but I have more of a chance of finding two million dollars in unmarked bills in my pantry.
This is the only thing I’ve seen;

No direct quote from the official, just the Honolulu stating “State officials say there’s no doubt Barack Obama was born in Hawai’i.”
BUT, the article also says the official states “Health Department Director Dr. Chiyome Fukino said today she and the registrar of vital statistics, Alvin Onaka, have personally verified that the health department holds Obama’s original birth certificate.”
So where is the direct quote and who are the “state officials”.
Sounds like SLOPPY REPORTING to me.
Obama’s Certification Of Live Birth, in which the State of Hawaii legally acknowledges his birth within the state, has been photographed in high resolution and released on the Internet. (Not to be confused with the first released image of his COLB, which was proven fake.) Problem is, apparently those unquestionablly not born in the US can easily get one saying they were (ex.: Barack’s sister).
The cable bill is still on my coffeetable; why the heck hasn’t Obama gotten around to paying it?
How would one re-validate? Simply apply for naturalized citizenship, right? Can you even get your natural-born status back once you renounce it?
Sounds like the reporter dutifully responded the way she/he was supposed to and deliberately assumed the official said he was born in Hawaii on the basis that his birth certificate was turned in. It was never mentioned where he was born. It could have been lower slobovia.
Kenyan government authorities told WND that “all documents concerning Obama were under seal until after the U.S. presidential election on November 4.”
Especially since most don’t realize that Hawaii has a provision that says you can obtain a Hawaiian birth certificate even if you born out of state.
Just because they HAVE a birth certificate doesn’t mean it says he was born there.
Hawaii seals his BC, Kenya seals his records, Obama spends thousands of dollars and months of time defending this but there is nothing amiss here, no reason to investigate it.
Yup. They’ll be released simultaniously with the Warren Commission Report.
