U.S. Supreme Court confers on Obama eligibility
World Net Daily ^ | November 23, 2010 | Brian Fitzpatrick

WASHINGTON – Is this the case that will break the presidential eligibility question wide open?

The Supreme Court conferred today on whether arguments should be heard on the merits of Kerchner v. Obama, a case challenging whether President Barack Obama is qualified to serve as president because he may not be a "natural-born citizen" as required by Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the U.S. Constitution.

Unlike other eligibility cases that have reached the Supreme Court, Kerchner vs. Obama focuses on the "Vattel theory," which argues that the writers of the Constitution believed the term "natural-born citizen" to mean a person born in the United States to parents who were both American citizens.

"Will of the people and turmoil etc."

This would be a good way to actually recognize the PROBLEMS with the welfare state, et al, because if The Messiah were found to be Ineligible (which he is), then we KNOW what the SRM and all the "get whitey" crowd will say and do:

From Article II, Section 1, of the US Constitution; “No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President.”

The answer to your question is George Washington.

Answer me this. Both of my children were born overseas while I was stationed in Germany. Both my wife and I are US citizens, born in the US. Both of my children have birth certificates issued by the US State Department that are headed, “Record of the birth of a US Citizen born abroad.” Are they Natural Born Citizens?

The SCOTUS needs to tread very cautiously on these matters ... no doubt they take politics and timing into consideration ... as the adage goes, the long arm of the law does not move quickly ... and, as we can see, there are many Americans who have not given up on the eligibility matter. And now, while Obama is down, is the right time to connect with that punch to his solar plexus. Perhaps even blacks in the inner cities, weary of Obama and his inability to deliver them from their ills, will say, “what the heck” and not bother to riot for very long, should a court rule against him.

It would seem that that role would fall to the Congress when they certify the electoral count.

Actually, no.

The 20th Amendment says in part:

if the President elect shall have failed to qualify, then the Vice President elect shall act as President until a President shall have qualified; and the Congress may by law provide for the case wherein neither a President elect nor a Vice President elect shall have qualified, declaring who shall then act as President, or the manner in which one who is to act shall be selected, and such person shall act accordingly until a President or Vice President shall have qualified.
No one gets to be "President elect" until the Electoral College has voted and Congress has counted and certified the vote. So it's pretty obvious that this amendment concedes the possibility that Congress might certify someone who is not eligible.

Considering Obama was at Occidental College at the time, what counsel did it originate from?

There are several types of US Citizenship. Your children are described as statutory US citizens, i.e. they are U.S. Citizens by legislation written by the US Congress and signed into law by a US President.

Most legal scholars contend statutory US Citizens are Natural born citizens, but its debatable. For example, a statutory citizen born in Germany to US Citizen parents has the option to opt out of US Citizenship and choose to be recognized as a German.

The thought of a Natural born citizen opting out when he reaches the age of majority is contrary to very basis of the definition of a Natural born citizen. Even a naturalized citizen must renounce the citizenship of their home country before they can naturalize.

The letter was sent to his last known address of record ... probably an American Refugee Organization located in Connecticut.

I would give a pass on the nuances of the meaning of “natural born”, if, and only if, Obammie would produce damn birth certificate that says he was born at whatever hospital in Hawaii.

Was he born on US soil? Were both his parents American Citizens?

Wouldn't it be a kick if he really was born in Hawaii, and his parents are Stanley Ann Dunham and...

and...

and...

Malcolm X?

Severe diffusion of injury is a real problem.

Yeah.

The whole country can be a smoking ruin, and still, no one has standing.

What's wrong with this picture?

IF obama was to resign or whatever BEFORE the new House members are seated,is Nancy Pelosi still in the line of succession?

I can visualize Biden becoming President then resigning,leaving Pelosi to serve out the first term of obama!

Remember how the Nixon/Agnew/Ford shuffle played out.

One more resignation "for health reasons" and it's Hillary!™...

U.S. Sends Aircraft Carrier for Joint Exercises With South Korea After Deadly Attack

I wondered if this is the same exercise that we said we weren't going to hold for fear of creating tension during the G20 summit when China complained about a carrier group in their backyard?

Like we were discussing, watch for a distraction ...

When my elementary school class was being taught the rudiments of Constitutional law on a a Marine Corps Airbase, we were told specifically that children Brats born overseas were not Constitutionally qualified.

Didn't think it was fair then, don't think it's fair now, but do think it's Constitutional.

No. Sorry. McCain was never Constitutionally qualified.

(That's why he was selected by crossover votes, to vaccinate Obama against Constitutional challenges)

This could really get amusing, Ya know Obammy already hates the Roberts court.
This could cement his feelings. I look for Obammy to send some gub mint goon squad to arrrest the supremes and send them all to quantanamo to be held incommunicato indefinately.

but but but but he said he'd shut down Gitmo!!!!

The USSC will do nothing if they thought the case had merits they would have ruled on it long ago.
