Obama’s lawyers have previously tried to rely on the “public record,” but the burden of proof was shifted in the Kansas ballot challenge by showing that the public record includes a 1991 bio that says Obama was born in Kenya, that Obama’s wife called Kenya her husband’s home country and that his Kenyan step-grandmother said he passed through her hands when he was born, etc. Further, Obama’s lawyers tried to rely on the 14th amendment to make Obama a natural-born citizen, but the argument wasn’t compelling when it was shown that the Supreme Court made a negative declaration that the 14th amendment does NOT say who shall be natural born citizens in Wong Kim Ark (via Minor v. Happersett).
