After being denied, dismissed and otherwise turned back in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Appellate Division, and the New Jersey Supreme Court, retired lawyer and professional poker player Leo Donofrio is taking the ultimate gamble and bringing his eligibility-related action before the United States Supreme Court. Donofrio, however, alleges that he has already been dealt a poor hand.
THE CASE
In his action filed against New Jersey Secretary of State Nina Mitchell Wells, Donofrio contends that Wells has not fulfilled her duty as Secretary of State to independently verify the constitutional qualifications of the presidential candidates before placing them on the ballot in the Garden State. Specifically, Donofrio notes in the brief accompanying the Application for Emergency Stay filed with the U.S. Supreme Court, Wells was required by N.J.S.A. 19:13-22 to make a statement in which she certifies and signs off on the names of the candidates on the ballots. The statute, in relevant part with emphasis added:
The Secretary of State, not later than eighty-six days before any election whereat any candidates nominated in any direct petition or primary certificate of nomination or State convention certificate filed with him are to be voted for, shall make and certify, under his hand and seal of office, and forward to the clerks of the several counties of the State a statement of all such candidates for whom the voters within such county may be by law entitled to vote at such election.

Exactly.
Got the answer down the thread. I should read more before asking questions.
They are being sent here to slow the momemtum down and discourage you. There are a few long-time mole Freepers that do the same.
non-sequiter ..is one who has made hundreds of post to shout the issue down.
Thanks!
Ping.
It is a super secret pen. ;) You need to collect Bazooka Joe Bubble Gum wrappers to get one.
Yes, they did. Interesting, but circumstantial, evidence.
I think Freeper David addressed the adoption issue on the very long 6,000+ BC thread last July or early August.
There are a lot of “conservative” globalists who like the idea of erasing our borders, sovereignty, and any semblance of nationhood. That pesky constitution just gets in their way.

It’s funny many of them also turn out to be Palin concern trolls.
My brain doesn’t comprehend the term: Conservative-Globalist.
Does this make me a Ron-Paulite or a dying shrinking breed of Conservatism.
What is the goal of Globalism?
multi-diversity....world peace......monetary personal greed
Globalist = screw America for a buck patriot.
Thanks for that link. Very informative. As Congressman Billybob explained in his post 211, I thought that a challenge to the qualification of a candidate can come from an Elector of the Electorial college. I hope it would not be left up to a Democrat controled congress.
I would vote for Herman Cain or Walter Williams four or five times.
Thanks for the information. I am not surprised.
I was wondering how Obama got a passport for his world tour -- I figured Washington and the other countries simply waived the prerequisites that we little people face.
Cal, Gemsbok’s post just gave me any idea. Did anyone think to check the newspapers in Mombasa Kenya for birth announcements?
Do any FR have the means to do that?
The thing is if he is deemed unqualified to be President the election itself is invalid.
The letter of no record clause. Allowed people without birth certificates to get passports.
Obama's most recent passport travels have been using an "official business" passport as a Senator. Such a passport does NOT require a BC like a "regular" passport does for you and I (just like Obama gets a pass on his TS Security Clearance because he is "elected"). Attempts to look at his previous Indonesian passport have been unsuccessful.
Furthermore, to run for office in Illinois, you do not have to prove citizenship, and certainly not be a "natural born citizen."
Obama has NOT been properly vetted for the office of President.
Plain and simple!
A while back JD Hayworth said something about congressmen getting passports without having to jump through the hoops. They just ask for for relevant info and don’t require proof.
