CALIFORNIA — Acting Police Chief Tracy Vitale has been placed on administrative leave amid questions over her citizenship.

(snip)

Vitale's attorney, Chuck LoPresti, said the acting chief was adopted in Germany by her American parents, and brought to the U.S. at age 3. She has always felt that her parents completed all of the paperwork needed to insure her citizenship.

When she applied for any police job, she has answered "yes" to the question of whether she is a citizen because she has always believed that's the case.

But in this case, someone has asked the borough to question Vitale.

LoPresti said a team of attorneys is working with the federal government to prove Vitale's citizenship.

Town of California, PA suspends local police chief over questions as to whether or not she is a US Citizen.

Apparently Monongahela Valley towns of a few thousand people have stricter standards than the highest office in the land.

Racist people there in Pennsylvania.

[RWGinger]

Good catch
This would be really funny if it weren’t so sad

[Slyfox]

Can we put Hussein on leave, too?

[raybbr]

Yeah, but if her name ended in ‘ez’ there would be no questions asked.

paperwork needed to insure her citizenship

Try Geico.

another undocumented worker in office!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ThomasThomas]

There is a town in Pennsylvania named California?

[Bullpine]

Me too?

[mojito]

She’s just doing a job Americans won’t do!

[DoughtyOne]

The comparison is too rich for words.

I suspect this woman knows a lot more than what she is letting on. At some point in her adult life, she must have had cause to examine her status.

And she wasn’t even exposed to the natural born clause.

"a team of attorneys is working with the federal government to prove Vitale's citizenship."

So the Feds CAN act if they want to eh?

But that's only in regards to the little people, it's a different set of rules and standards for the elite ruling class, especially Harvard alumni who specialized in community organizing while concealing their personal history and Islamic roots.

Doing the work American cops won't do.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Yes, about 30 miles or so south of Pittsburgh.

But we all know that they have no standing. No one does.

[Grampa Dave]

No problem for her. She can run for president in 2012 and the press, judges and a lot of Freepers will defend her.

ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION IS DESTROYING AMERICA-LOOK AT WHAT IT DID TO THE WHITE HOUSE!

[Buckeye McFrog]

Yeah, but if her name ended in ‘ez’ there would be no questions asked.

This is Western Pennsyltucky you’re talking about.
We only stop asking questions when your name ends in an “o” or an “i”.

[Buckeye McFrog]

There is a town in Pennsylvania named California?

Yes, and another town named Indiana.
And both have state colleges with football and
basketball teams. So around here when you hear
a score for California vs. Indiana, it’s not the Golden Bears versus the Hoosiers.

There does seem to be a lot of this going around.
