Barack Obama has one election still to win before he moves into the White House, and by all accounts he’s a shoo-in. The Electoral College – that curious body created by the Founders to put one extra check on the popular vote – meets Dec. 15 to elect the president.
But across the US, a small band of Americans convinced that Mr. Obama is not a natural-born citizen, as the Constitution requires of presidents, are lobbying Democratic electors to take one last look at the notion that Obama was born in Kenya, not Hawaii.
The idea that Democratic electors would deny Obama the presidency strains the bounds of credulity. But the lobbying campaign points to the endurance of conspiracy theories pertaining to US presidents – and revives longstanding questions about the Electoral College itself.

LOL! There is no electoral college question. It was put in place for some good reasons:
To keep the larger, more populated States from having too much political pull against the smaller, and/or less populated States, and
to make sure only qualified candidates held office.

Look on the bright side - this morning, we were right wing nut-jobs....now it's a 'conspiracy'. :-)
Not according to the law in effect at the time Obama was born. At that time, if only one parent was an American citizen, that parent had to be at least eighteen years of age or older to confer "birthright citizenship" if the child was born outside the US. Obama's mother was not yet eighteen when he was born.
Yes, there would be huge race riots around the country. The left will claim that Obama "deserves" the office even if he is ineligible. "Election is illegal" is the wrong term here. People are allowed to cast votes for any ineligible person, including dead people, Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. EC electors are allowed to vote for anyone also, without penalty. So no laws are broken until an ineligible person tries to take the oath of office.
If the SCOTUS declares that Obama cannot take office, and the Electoral College has already met, this means that Biden is acting President until the House of Representatives meets to select a President.
There are more complicated scenarios that have already been discussed in previous posts, including some for which an Obama-specific Constitutional amendment is passed allowing him to hold office. I do not think such is impossible, although Obama's administration would be under a perpetual cloud because he had withheld the truth about his citizenship.
McCain was OK because he was born in the Canal Zone, both a U.S. military base and a U.S. Territory at the time. Oba Mao could very well have been born in Hawaii. Most of the anecdotal evidence I've seen indicate he probably was. Why he won't produce a COBL is known only to him. It is possible, but not likely, that he does not have one or is ineligible to get one. A more likely explanation is:
He’s not the president YET.
No birth certificate. No peace.

The Honorable Associate Justice Clarence Thomas
Supreme Court of the United States

Dear Justice Thomas
I respectfully request that you consider reviewing Docket No. 08A407 Leo C. Donofrio, Applicant v. Nina Mitchell Wells, New Jersey Secretary of State.
Our Constitution in Article II Section 1 Paragraph 5 states “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”.
Mr. Donofrio represents a considerable number of citizens noting the conspicuous failure of the presidential-designate to produce sufficient proof of compliance with the above constitutional requirement.
The work of Mr. Ron Polarik has shown all Certificates of Live Birth to date to have been forgeries.
Thank you for your consideration of this extremely critical matter.

Stop the Obama Constitutional Crisis
When you were first elected and as tradition requires you have sworn the oath: “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me G-d.”
Article II, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution reads: “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; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen years a resident within the United States.”
There are numerous questions as to Obama’s citizen status raising suspicion and doubt about Obama constitutional qualification to be president. To settle these questions Mr. Obama must produce proof of citizenship!
Documents that must be produced include;
(a) a certified copy of “vault” (original long version) birth certificate;
(b) certified copies of all reissued and sealed birth certificates in the names Barack Hussein Obama, Barry Soetoro, Barry Obama, Barack Dunham and Barry Dunham;
(c) a certified copy Certification of Citizenship;
(d) a certified copy Oath of Allegiance taken upon age of maturity;
(e) certified copies of admission forms for Occidental College, Columbia University and Harvard Law School; and
(f) certified copies of any court orders or legal documents changing his name from Barry Soetoro.
It is reasonable that these documents should be produced considering that his father is Kenyan, his adoptive father is Indonesian, and his grandmother claims to have been present at his birth in Kenya. If he is a natural born citizen then producing these documents should not be any problem.
These allegations will not go away until Mr. Obama produces proof to federal authorities and the public. If he will not do so voluntarily he must be compelled by every means available. You, as an employee of The People, have sworn an oath to support and defend the Constitution.
We The People are demanding you to make every effort, both public and private, to resolve this fundamental Constitutional question before 20 January.
