President Obama's name should appear on Georgia's 2012 presidential ballot, in the official opinion of Judge Michael Malihi of Georgia's Office of State Administrative Hearings (OSAH), issued on February 3. Judge Malihi's decision is the result of hearings held January 26 on three separate actions brought by several Georgia residents. Under Georgia law, Secretary of State Brian Kemp had referred the challenges, filed last November, to the OSAH for a recommendation.
Ordinarily, the Court would enter a default order against the party that fails to participate in any stage of a proceeding...Nonetheless, despite the Defendant's failure to appear, Plaintiffs asked this Court to decide the case on the merits of their arguments and evidence. The Court granted Plaintiff's request.
Two of the challenges, represented by attorney Van Irion of the Liberty Legal Foundation and Georgia Rep. J. Mark Hatfield, did not focus on Obama's place of birth or the infamous birth certificate. Rather, Irion and Hatfield contended that Obama, with his non-US citizen father, is not a "natural born" citizen according to the rule of statutory construction in the interpretation of the Constitution and existing Supreme Court precedent. (Further explanation of those assertions is contained in a comprehensive amicus brief submitted to the court, prepared by attorney Leo Donofrio.)
In his sweeping denial of the Plaintiff's challenges, however, Judge Malihi did not mention the principle, and instead relied on the 2009 case of Ankeny v Governor, stating that "[t]he Indiana Court determined that a person qualifies as a natural born citizen if he was born in the United States because he became a United States citizen at birth."

Who is Harrison J. Bounel alias Barry Obama ___ ?
That seasoned lawyers and reputable conservative foundations have not embraced birtherism should tell you something about the validity of the issue.
Birtherism is a slang term for "birth certificate conspiracists". Upholding the definitions within the Constitution based on the statutes therein is called Constitutionalism. The two cases brought forward in Georgia did not care about the birth certificate other than to solidify Obamas lineage.
Second, many of the conservative Constitutional attorneys and non-profits are busy fighting other Supreme Court battles, such as the Deathcare Bill.
My advice to you next time is to get your facts straight before you make ignorant statements such as these.
Thank you for sharing your situation. I apologize for judging you as a runner without knowing anything about you. I hope you are blessed with sound health for the remainder of your days!

Thank you.
I’ve been fighting liberalism since ‘64 and I’m simply too old and sick to watch anymore of the damage they do.
I’ll leave the battle to those who are young enough, healthy enough, and patient enough to carry on.
The Constitution means very little to most Americans anymore. I can’t stand watching what the left is doing to it-—and what everybody else is willing to put up with.
As I’ve repeatedly said, until the 14th Amendment is corrected to mean born owing only one allegiance, and that being to the United States per the 1868 Expatriation Act, all efforts to uphold A2S1C5 are futile. One doesnt clean up manure by spraying the area with deodorizer 1st. Until the manure is taken away, no deodorizer is going to have any lasting affect.
You took the words right out of my mouth! Well said. America is gone.
Thank you.
Understand as they have made a “racist” out of me in that I have to prepare myself against their BS.
Where you heading? Just curious.
