A Pennsylvania lawsuit alleging that Barack Obama is not a natural-born citizen of the United States took an unusual twist this week, after a federally mandated deadline requiring Obamas lawyers to produce a vault copy of his birth certificate expired with no response from Obama or his lawyers.
The lawsuit, filed by former Pennsylvania Deputy Attorney General Philip J. Berg a self-avowed supporter of Hillary Clinton alleges that Barack Obama was born in Kenya and is thus ineligible to run for president of the United States. It demands that Obamas lawyers produce a copy of his original birth certificate to prove that he is a natural-born U.S. citizen.
Berg's suit and allegations have set off a wave of Internet buzz and rumors, though Obama could easily have put the matter to rest by providing the federal court with the basic documentation proving he is eligible to take the oath of a president. But Obama has apparently decided to deny the court and the public that documentation.
The Constitution provides that any U.S. citizen is eligible to become president if the person is 35 years of age or older and is a natural-born citizen; that is, born in the territorial United States.

Hmmmmm, there was a thread earlier today about a HUGE victory party in Chicago. A couple cement trucks full of ANFO would be a world class terrorist event.
Even worse, bombing the celebration, especially if they "lost", would incite the left to violence across the nation. The civil war could be set off by a truck bomb in Chicago and STARTED by the left as they 'retaliated'.
I'm sure Obama already has a patsie Republican already lined up.
What is all this ridiculous noise about Sarah Palins wardrobe? We are on the precipice of a Constitutional crisis over an ineligible presidential candidate and the mainstream media is obsessed with Sarahs clothes
Exactly.
Except I’d say especially if they “won”.
We have a constitution but, shhh, no one has standing to talk about it!!
I smell trollbreathe on your post.
The API story = bogus.
Your body language extpertise = bogus.
Can't be that, as having a middle name of "Mohammed" would just be another positive credentials amongst the Obama crowd.
Police fear riots if Barack Obama loses US election
US police fear riots could break out if John McCain, the Republican presidential candidate, wins the election next month.
“...Meanwhile, in a blog posting entitled ‘A McCain “Win” Will Be Theft, Resistance Is Planned’, David Swanson, Washington director of Democrats.com and a board member of Progressive Democrats of America, writes: “If your television declares John McCain the president elect on the evening of November 4th, your television will be lying.
“You should immediately pick up your pre-packed bags and head straight to the White House in Washington, DC, which we will surround and shut down until this attempt at a third illegitimate presidency is reversed.
“We may be there for days or weeks or months. But we must be there. We must be there by the millions. We must show each other, and the nation, and the world that we have had enough, that we will not stand for one more stolen election, that we will not give in to fear, lies, theft, and intimidation.”
Mr Carville told The Hill that “a lot of Democrats would have a great deal of angst and anger,” if Mr Obama lost. He predicted that on November 4, “the voting system all around the country is going to be very stressed because there’s going to be enormous turnout.”
About your theory...” Novak wrote in February that Hillarys PIs had discovered something about Obama which would ruin him in American politics forever.””
Two things:
1. All kinds of connections and alliances hae been uncovered about Obama that should destroy his career. However, they don’t because the media refuses to discuss them. Therefore Novak’s lead could refer to a number of things.
2. If Hillary had the information, it could have been leaked from one source to the next, just like everything else that “pops” up here and it would not have been traceable back to her. Infact, documentation could have been fed-ex-ed through unknown sources to media idiots or the feds. She didn’t need to have directly involved herself and taken the blame.
No, I think it's ice-cold, calculating narcissism you see, when he forgets to wear the mask with the smile on it.
That's the REAL Obama, and he's ugly:
It worked for 'Cousin' Odinga...
But this isn't Africa.
No. If Obama is declared ineligable after the election,Biden becomes President.Now I’m not so sure what happens before election day.
If one has a parent that is an American citizen and he/she is born overseas,not sure how that works.If born in the USA,they are a citizen.But in Obama’s case there are too many variables in play.Might be better if he just siad so .NOW
Have you ever thought about a career writing Cliff Notes?

Well there is actually a problem there also according to my wife. Since there was no conference or hearing on the request for admissions, there isn't any ruling or agreement in place for such discovery to happen. She tells me that's a pretty well established procedural SOP for courts.
As for the standing issue, as she pointed out, he hasn't actually become President yet so legally there isn't a question of harm to the plaintiff yet, at least as she sees the complaint laid out. She said you really can't sue based on something the person might do unless you can show irrepairable harm will be done.
Something else she said that I think is likely was that judges generally don't like getting involved in political arguments. She said she wouldn't expect the judge to do anything until after the election and maybe before the inauguration. She said it would really be up to Congress to assure that the person was Constitutionally elligible for the job.
When does Hillay make her next move?
