Constitutional crisis looming over Obama's birth location
World Net Daily ^ | 11/14/08 | Bob Unruh

Posted on 11/14/2008 7:05:09 PM PST by solfour

The California secretary of state should refuse to allow the state's 55 Electoral College votes to be cast in the 2008 presidential election until President-elect Barack Obama verifies his eligibility to hold the office, alleges a California court petition filed on behalf of former presidential candidate Alan Keyes and others.

The legal action today is just the latest is a series of challenges, some of which have gone as high as the U.S. Supreme Court, over the issue of Obama's status as a "natural-born citizen," a requirement set by the U.S. Constitution.

WND senior reporter Jerome Corsi even traveled to Kenya and Hawaii prior to the election to investigate issues surrounding Obama's birth. But his research and discoveries only raised more questions.

The biggest question is why Obama, if a Hawaii birth certificate exists, simply hasn't ordered it made available to settle the rumors.

Oh. This is good. The word certainly is getting out. The more it gets out, the more people wonder.
This is a good thing. I think even if Oboma turns out to be a natural born citizen, every presidential candidate should be required to prove their residency. Why not? It should have been mandatory anyway.

I always liked Popper’s analyses, but I have a new viewpoint now I know he spawned (in a sense) this a*hole.

Only after the Electors vote might it require impeachment.

Strategically, the Clintoons would not want to be anywhere near this. If does come to the forefront and becomes an issue, those who drive it will come under intense fire. Even if the Clintoons have information of this sort and have been working behind the scenes to disseminate it, they will stand back and let others take the heat as they shake their heads, wring their hands, at the same time positioning themselves to take whatever power that they can from the situation. Interesting that we are hearing now that Hillary may be in the running for Secretary of State. Do not underestimate the Clintoons when it comes to power-brokering.

"The governor of Hawaii has sealed the file."

Governor Lingle (R) has denied she "sealed" the file. However, the law states that only the selfsame person (Obama) can ask to have it released.

Where is Jerome Corsi? Sean Hannity was to interview him after he was detained...anybody with information in that regard?

I believe Hannity chickened out from higher orders!!!

I don’t know what happened. Maybe he just protecting a different father. Inconceivable that the Clintons would miss something. Or was it too obvious and no one brought it up?

Check the Hawaii Dept. of Health website. There are a select few who can request someone’s birth certificate. A very narrow list.

It's no crisis. He becomes disqualified. The VP of the winning ticket becomes the President.

Say hello to President Biden.

The Democrat party. The gift that keeps on giving, like STD.

Like Bill Clinton you mean? He lied on tape and to witnesses.

They had a stained Blue Dress that ML had worn while Bill and her had the sex he said they never had.

The Dems rallied around Bill, practically made Monica the new virgin mary of the democrat party.

With all that the congress did not call for his removal from office, or any other sanctions at all.

You must have a short memory or be imbibing in adult beverages.

Oh and welcome to Free Republic.

He has until Dec. 1st to respond to the suit. Nothing there that says he has to produce the birth certificate then.

Doing this kind of damage to the United States, American citizens and the Constitution is beyond treason. If they are responsible for this stunt, oh, never mind. There isn’t anyone who would do anything to them. :-(

"What are these circumstances in Illinois? (when the O-man ran against Keyes)"

It's about California, not Illinois. In CA, any citizen has standing to demand by what authority the state takes a specific action (for example, certifying Obama as eligible to have electors pledged to him).

Presidential candidate Alan Keyes, AIP leaders sue in CA court to obtain Obama citizenship proof, stop Secretary of State from certifying Electors

Fenton, MI – November 14, 2008

Presidential candidate Alan Keyes, vice-presidential candidate Wiley S. Drake, and the Chairman of the American Independent Party, Markham Robinson, have filed suit in California Superior Court in Sacramento seeking to bar Secretary of State Debra Bowen from certifying to Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger the names of Electors, and from transmitting to each presidential Elector a Certificate of Election, until documentary proof is produced and verified showing that Senator Obama is a “natural born” citizen of the United States, and does not hold citizenship of Indonesia, Kenya or Great Britain.

In addition, they have asked that the court issue a peremptory writ barring Senator Obama’s California Electors from signing the Certificate of Vote until such documentary proof is produced and verified.

In response to questions about why the suit was being filed, Ambassador Alan Keyes commented, “I and others are concerned that this issue be properly investigated and decided before Senator Obama takes office. Otherwise there will be a serious doubt as to the legitimacy of his tenure. This doubt would also affect the respect people have for the Constitution as the supreme law of the land. I hope the issue can be quickly clarified so that the new President can take office under no shadow of doubt. This will be good for him and for the nation.”

Former Reagan administration official Ambassador Alan Keyes and Wiley S. Drake were the 2008 presidential and vice-presidential nominees of the American Independent Party, which is the California affiliate of the new national America’s Independent Party.

Mission Viejo, California attorney Dr. Orly Taitz and United States Justice Foundation Executive Director Gary Kreep are representing the plaintiffs in this case.

Copies of the court filing, along with further information concerning developments in this case, will be made available at www.AIPNEWS.com, or can be obtained by contacting AIP national chairman Tom Hoefling. (tomhoefling@gmail.com)

Everyone wants to shift the responsibility to someone else, and nobody in our system has the balls to stand up for the constitution. I think SCOTUS knows this is gonna be big... whether he makes it into office or not.

Alan Keyes is straight forward guy, he tells thing like they should be said as as straight shooter from the hip, and not afraid either!!!

THAT may prove to be the true Constitutional convention, as the Dem Majority in both houses deem it a national emergency that requires immediate action (you know, like that BS $700 Billion bailout that we had to enact to save the world) and pass that amendment that says you don’t have to be born in the US, and make it retroactive to 2006 or so.

Hello Civil War II if they try that one.
