WND Exclusive BORN IN THE USA? D.C. court case demands Obama explain eligibility Contends president's allegiance is to Britain, Kenya, Indonesia Posted: January 29, 2010 12:20 am Eastern By Bob Unruh © 2010 WorldNetDaily A prominent attorney who has shepherded a number of high-profile legal cases challenging Barack Obama'seligibility to be president has brought a "Quo Warranto" case to district court in Washington, D.C., alleging his allegiances have included Britain, Kenya and Indonesia. A Quo Warranto action, first recorded some 800 years ago, essentially is a demand to know by what authority a public figure is acting. The case, brought by California attorney Orly Taitz on behalf of herself, was assigned to Chief Judge Royce Lamberth. Taitz told WND that in a separate action she has filed a notice of appeal with the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals of the dismissal of a case she brought on behalf of Ambassador Alan Keyes and dozens of other individuals in California challenging Obama's eligibility. She previously attempted Quo Warranto cases on behalf of government officials, without response. This time she filed the action directly with the court on her own behalf. "The case revolves around the federal question of eligibility of the president under Quo Warranto," she wrote.

If Obama was born in Kenya, we are in complete agreement.
“Better yet, some constitutionalists.”
Dude, at this point I’d just be happy as can be if McCain loses to JD Hayworth and AZ runs a Republican who isn’t a Democrat at heart...
At the state level, we have some good folks, and Kyle isn’t too bad, but it is painful to think that McCain is one of my senators!
bump
You need to give up making yourself look uninformed. At that time she would have had to be a certain age and she wasn’t. Maybe the plutonium is affecting you.
I don’t think he’ll bother to research it. He would have to admit he was wrong and some people just can’t do that. Does ZERO come to mind?
Shouldn’t that read EPIC fail? LOL
touche’
Yeah I guess we should just accept the choice of all those fraudulent ballots and ignore the chicanery of Pelosi and the others who let him run knowing he shouldn’t have. True Americans should never fight back.
Sounds like a plan to me. /sarc
Just as I thought. You WON’T research what anyone has said. Pride! Just hurts to be wrong doesn’t it?
To be more specific the Norwegian traitor QUISLING is actually more fitting than a Pinhead!!!
“touche’”
Woosh. Thump. That was an afterbirther’s head hitting the floor. LOLz
The little secret here is that his mother was of "underage" and not possible to provide that allegiance to the U.S.!!!
Being an American citizen doesn’t make him eligible
Someone overseas needs to be born to 2 US citizens to qualify as ‘natural born’.
Yet you didn't clarify that in your first question, did you?
You DO realize that resolution addresses someone born OVERSEAS? NOPE! I simply corrected your question.
Someone born in the USA does not, since his birth should give him allegiance to the US - unless BOTH his parents were foreigners.
Did I ever contend otherwise? Don't lecture me. Neither I nor anyone else should listen to anything you say. It's been shown by myself and others that you lie repeatedly and continually.
You tried to apply McCain’s case of an overseas birth to Obama, and thus require Obama to have TWO American parents, even tho born in the USA.
I didn’t lie, but you tried to deceive a casual reader. This is why birthers lose every time they get to court - their case is built on lies and bad legal interpretation.
If Obama was born in Hawaii, his father’s citizenship doesn’t matter - and the Senate Resolution passed for McCain doesn’t have ANY impact on that.
But go ahead and tell each other lies. You can even toss money at WND or Lakin or others. It is wasted money, because you don’t have a case, but you can waste money. What I do not plan to let you do is deceive others into believing it is established law that a NBC requires TWO American parents, regardless of birthplace.
“The little secret here is that his mother was of “underage” and not possible to provide that allegiance to the U.S.!!!”
Not true. Not even close. There is no law or legal precedence that says a girl has to be of a certain age before giving birth to someone in the USA makes the child a US citizen.
You ought to try READING the Constitution you pretend to support! “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”
There are ample, historic cites from the Founders, early Supreme Court justices, Senators and noted historians, as well as the authors of the 14th Amendment, that say it does, Mr. Rogers.
You're a well read person, I've read your reasoned and detailed replies on the Religion Forum. Delve into the founding documents of our country, and the men who created them. Look into the meaning of citizenship and how it was obtained at the time the Constitution was ratified, which is the only meaning of the phrase that has any bearing upon Presidential eligibility.
Understand the meaning of "denizen," "native born" and "natural born." They're all citizens at birth, but only one is eligible for the Presidency.
Learn the distinction, and also understand that statutory law neither redefines Constitutional terms nor overrides them.
Here’s the problem...the term wasn’t defined in the Constitution, and the Founding Fathers used it in inconsistent ways. There are some who said it required two American parents, and others who said it just involved being born in the USA.
Congress and the courts have weighed in to clarify. The 14th amendment added confusion.
Either interpretation can be justified by quotes from those who wrote the Constitution, but the courts will use Congress and previous court decisions - including the US Supreme Court - to determine the legal meaning. And that has fallen heavily on the side of ‘born in the USA is good enough’, to the extent that the courts seem to take it as established fact.
There is a reason that birthers have lost every case. In many, it is lack of standing. While I disagree with the idea, it seems a private citizen, as one of 300 million, lacks the legal standing to challenge.
The state officials COULD have rejected Obama, and that would have generated a court case with standing, but they all certified him to run. Congress undoubtedly had standing, and could have refused to certify the election because Obama was ineligible, but they obviously did not - and the courts know full well that not a single member - NOT ONE - raised an objection.
There is a strong case to be made that this is not a matter that falls under the Courts anyways, but Congress - and the courts are well aware of that as well.
Meanwhile, the US Supreme Court had the chance to hear a case prior to Obama taking office, and they refused. If they were unwilling to block him from taking office based on birther arguments, then what makes anyone think they would REMOVE him from office - particularly since the legal case is weak, and Congress endorsed the election.
I live in southern Arizona, and I support amending the Constitution to prevent anchor babies. In fact, MY interpretation of the 14th amendment would prevent anchor babies as written - but I don’t get to decide on the correct interpretation. Congress and the courts have that right, and they’ve already decided.
If someone has proof Obama was born overseas, then fraud has been committed, Obama is NOT a NBC, and he can be removed from office - but it will require proof first. The courts are not detective agencies.
But regardless of my personal opinion, Obama’s father being kenyan doesn’t impact squat.
It’s people like you that elected Obama. It’s people like you who will keep the USA in bondage to socialism .
Your head is as hard the hardest. Keep on posting though. You do everyone reading your comments a favor because they will soon learn they can skip past them and not miss anything.
