Fast facts on Barack Obama citizenship lawsuits

Undaunted by election results on Nov. 4, several persistent plaintiffs have pursued lawsuits asserting that Barack Obama is ineligible to hold the office of president because he is not a "natural-born citizen." ...

[jasperjames]

Obama may or may not be a natural born citizen. His COLB is not sufficient proof of whether he was born in America. He could be simply registered in Hawaii in without a doctor or witness to verify his birth.. The only way to know for sure would be to examine his original BC, his parent’s passports and his passports. Also he may have retained citizenship with Kenya after his 21 birthday by continuing to travel on a Kenyan or Indonesian passport which would make him a dual-citizen today. I would like to know the truth. I think these aspects about Obama have been kept secret from the American people - and in my mind - invalidating the election. If the president of the US has foreign allegiances or maintains secrets about his life, HE CAN BE BLACKMAILED!!!!!! Yes he can be blackmailed if he is hiding any of these facts about his life. BY WHO? Well - if there are records in Kenya of his birth - then someone in Kenya could blackmail him. If there are records in the U.S then the FBI, the CIA or any of a number of agencies could access these records and blackmail him. We do not need a president - who can be blackmailed. The press did not do their Job. The election officials did not do their job (and verify where he was really born). Everyone reading this who has concerns should write to your congressman write to your Secretary of State for your state. Demand that they properly investigate this mans eligibility to hold office.

I agree with you jasper, but unfortunately, no one in authority cares. The media annointed him early on, McCain, who has standing to sue, won't, and the Democrats certainly don't care if he was born in the United States or not. The only aspect of the Constitution most Democrats care about is the obscure way a liberal Supreme Court ruled that abortion is a right. He is their Messiah and will personally cure cancer before his is done. The Supreme Court will pass on the case, and that will be the end of it.

Whay don't you die-hard republicans get over it. Obama won the election by a land-slide and you dumba**es will try every stupid thing you can think of to discredit the man.

As for you personally your idiototic president has trampled all over the U.S. Constitution but obviously that is not a problem in your eyes and stupid people like you prefer to blame everything on the Democrats than to admit the Repubilicans are nothing but thieves, liars and cry-babies when they don't get their way.

You both are nuts...

Several courts have said there are no grounds to dispute his citizenship. Unless you have read the court records how can you know what evidence has, or has not, been submitted? I read where there were NUMEROUS witnesses to his birth in Hawaii, as well as an announcement in a local newspaper when it happened. As for John McCain not protesting... McCain was not born in the US... but in Panama in the US "controlled" zone. I'm afraid that under a strict interpretation of "natural born" that McCain would fail that test and if, by some wild chance, Obama were disqualified, then McCain could be too... then were would that leave us? Best to let it rest and support the man whom the MAJORITY of American's voted for. You may not like him... but he just might surprise you and do a good job. At least give him a chance to do the job before passing judgement.

Tellus how you really feel. BTW Obama didn't win by a land slide!

Via the Electoral College (which are the only votes that "really' count)it IS a landslide.

JasperJames; if anyone is blackmailing Barrack Obama it's Tony Rezko... and the proof will be when Barrack pardons him at the beginning of his term but at the end of all Tony's trails, he has a couple more ahead of him...Obama will probably pay off his gambling debts.

It's so sad to see this society that feels and senses that anyone other than a "white man or from eurocentric stock" can be anything other than a janitor. This man, Barack Obama was born a US citizen or he would not ever been voted into Congress, or the Senate, or even run for the Presidency of this so-called Greatest Nation in the World, the USA! Give me a break! The republican party will stoop down to anything, literally "anything" to try to defame this man who seems to be better than any of the other candidates that were running for presidency. We have a country filled with thieves, dishonesty people, uneducated people and stupid morons....for ex...GW Bush...as one of the premieres' from Canada stated back in 2001, "George Bush is a MORON"....and the actions that have followed these past seven years proved it. So. Leave Barack Obama alone and let's play right...hahaha. We have a screwed up country, let's come together, like good little kids...play right, share....shut the hell up...and let this man do his thing....What I feel is that these other politicians who are crying and complaining like women who can't find a "right" dress...are afraid that "something" good will happen! It's the holiday season approaching...many wishes to all! Peace!

Yea if you want to only count that way. I also look at the popular vote and that wasn't a landslide.

[Jason]

Three Words: GET OVER IT. If Obama gets caught smoking inside the "smoke free" White House, will you fanatics try to get him impeached?

[McDuff]

I beg to differ. These rabid people who insist that Obama isn't eligible to serve as our president aren't die-hard republicans. They are racists, pure and simple. They cannot face the prospect of a person of color being their president. They can't hear what he's saying or believe what he'll accommplish for all Americans. I feel sorry for them.

[birthright]

just in general, what law is this?
"But under U.S. law, persons born in the U.S. are natural-born citizens."
i thought the law was:
All persons born in the United States not subject to any foreign power.
You can be born on US soil, and belong to the citizenship of a foreign country of your parents.

[Marie]

Sorry to say ,but the Electoral College counts more than our votes.

Obama was raised right, held on to that positive influence, educated himself and is more than capable of doing good for this country.

Yes, he has to prove himself once in the White House, but that goes for anyone holding office. Take a look at what we have now - pathetic!!!

The only reason for all of this BS is because Obama is "African American". It is such a shame that people in the 21st Centure have negative thoughts about a person just because of the color of their skin.

[TCE]

Is this really that hard to prove? I'm assuming he had to show proof in order to run in the first place.

[DWE]

What a bunch of losers, just looking for any excuse to discredit an African American. Shame on you, obviously you were brought up as racists and no matter what anyone says, you will lways bring up another excuse to say why they're wrong. It's time to start living in the real world and stop being such asses, GET OVER IT!

Actually simpler than that.
He applies for ballot access for all primaries.
The sec of state of birth state insures people are eligible.
That information is available to FEC.
An d all other Secs of state.

[frank l kinney]

whats missing here is the birth certificate is a fraud? like seal? our judicail courts philadelphia first homosexual judge appointed to bench? new jersey home of homosexual adoption? obama adopted by indonesion step father? ambassador of kenya recorded saying obama born in kenya? grandmother statement on film she was in delivery room when he was born? these do not raise questions of obama being legitimate person he say's he his? obama quick rise to power of elect president? campaign money unaccounted from who! what! where! a billion dollar campaign by small donations???? one would think by that statement from his campaign that obama would of won election by a land slide????? now that one is a pretty good statement argument i think!!!! obama record campaign contributions and number of so called record numbers at the polls just don't jive? INDEPENDENT. michigan little big horn AMEN. mcCain 47% obama 53% twins sure were close!!! both born in foreign country twins again? yep! questions on citizenship i think i brought that up many moons ago? mcCain wasn't born in america either? so if mcCain was not born in america than both of us are not eligible to run for president of united states period? but well whats up doc here we are live TODAY action on something for which are supreme court should of and goverment been concern about many many moons ago!!! scam job once again? one must always look ahead of what they do! set up! and create! just like black and white? the question is our CONSTITUTION states clearly one must be american citizen or need not apply!!!! both partys put them up to apply for president = team work ALL THE WAY TO THE THEIR AGENDA BANK. con jobs that just never end. michigan little big horn AMEN.

[Leon Pudlo]

Why shouldn't Sen. Obama show a true copy of his birth certificate. All U. S. citzen's must produce such just to get a passport. President elect or not, the Laws of the Land, which he will swear to uphold, cover him too. After all, on January 20, 2009, he becomes THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITES STATES, not a king or dictator.
If he's got one, show it and lay all to rest forever.
