Former Obama opponent now suing to prove President-elect's citizenship

SACRAMENTO, Calif.- A former opponent of Barack Obama's has come back to haunt him over questions regarding Obama's citizenship.

According to a press release from the American Independent Party, former presidential candidate Alan Keyes and other members of the party have filed suit in California Superior Court in Sacramento to stop the state from giving its electoral votes to President-elect Barack Obama until documentary evidence is provided to prove Obama is indeed a natural born citizen of the United States. A copy of the writ can be found here.

Keyes also ran against Obama as a Republican for the U.S. Senate seat in Illinois in 2004. Obama won that election to serve his first and only term in the U.S. Senate.

The Obama campaign countered similar accusations early in 2008 by posting Obama's certification of live birth, and saying: "Barack Obama was born in the state of Hawaii in 1961, a native citizen of the United States of America."

A copy of this document is available from the Obama campaign:

In October the Hawaii State Health Department declared the certificate is genuine.

No the Constitution does not need to be changed. Our founding fathers knew tyranny well and wrote it to protect us from foreigners attempting to usurp the position and killing our freedoms. I was no McCain nor Obama supporter but I am a strong believer in our Constitution. It was written to protect the people from what is happening now. Look at everything going on. We're losing our country if people don't wake up and SOON!

The Constitution is there to protect against frauds like Obama.The courts are mired in technicalities, becasue Congress has to specify laws. The supremes, however could find a way to act on facts, or on the fact that Obama's failure to answer admissions is therefore deemed admitted.

I recall that 2 newspapers convinced a CA judge to unseal SEALED divorce papers because it was in the 'public's interest' to know whatever Jeri Ryan cooked up against her husband Senator Ryan. She thought no one but a judge would ever see it and nobody would likely even challenge it. I also recall that THAT opened the door for B H Obama to run for the US Senate! Follow the logic here.. if unsealing THAT was somehow in the 'public interest' then how is OBEYING the Constitution NOT? HMM?

WeThePeopleFoundation is a fraud. They show an enlarged section from a 1963 Hawaiian birth certificate box 7c with the caption "Foreign Country" which they claim proves that Hawaii allowed foreign-born persons to register on the Live Birth form. The fraud is that blocks 7a-7g are the MOTHER'S RESIDENCE, not the place of birth, which is in block 6a and has nothing about "Foreign Country". It's a total sham which they hope nobody will notice since the full certificate pic is fuzzy.

McCain and Obama are not "natural born" citizens according to Article 2, Section 1 of the Constitution. McCain was not born on US Soil, however he is still a citizen by Federal Statute (8 USC 1403). Obama regardless if he can provide proof or not of his birth in Hawaii, "still" is not "natural born" because his father is Kenya!! Our founders were still British citizens when they ammended the Naturalization Act of 1790 to 1795, which exempted them from this "natural born" requirement.

If our press wasn't so "tingly" about the candidacy of Obama, the vetting process would have exposed this issue and the voter spared the trauma. Bill Clinton, a masterful politician said "this is the greatest fairy tail I've ever seen". He was speaking of the Obama campaign. For anyone to suggest we "change the Constitution" or "get over it", subverts the very fiber of our nation.

I can't believe that WGAT would be so mixed up between a Certification of Birth (which is as good as a computer printed money order - from which I was recently stung) and a Certificate of Live Birth (which is as good as cash). The Certificate of Live Birth has never been seen by the public, yet Obama was on TV moments ago saying "the buck stops here." Where is the "transparency" you promised former senator Obama? WGAT, are you really mixed up, or is there something else?

"Anyone born in the border states (north or south) knows that citizenship passes from the mother to the child." That is incorrect according to many countries. Kenya was a colony of the UK back in 1961. In the UK, the father determines the citizenship in the UK (regardless of the location of birth), Mr. Obama was, and still is, a UK citizen by birthright.

So you mean to tell me that along with this alleged conspiracy of the birth certificate, there was another perpetrated by the media and flew under Hillary's and McCain's radar as neither of them chose to use this 'damning' information during the campaign? Not even Sarah Palin mentioned this, wonder why? Perhaps because it's all bull. How about using your investigative skills to track down the hows and whys of the manipulation of the oil markets, go find Bigfoot or something constructive.

Obama was likely born in Kenya out-of-wedlock. Obama's father was already married when he married Obama's pregnant mother. That marriage was void ab initio. Accordingly, a different set of laws apply regarding Obama's United States' citizenship.

Obama's birth certificate and birth country are actually moot legal issues! Obama's father was already married to a Kenyan woman at the time he married Obama's pregnant mother. The Hawaiian marriage was legally "void ab initio." Obama was born out-of-wedlock. Being such a child born in a foreign country to an American citizen mother, he gained United States citizenship at birth. Only a one-year United States' physical presence was required by Obama's mother prior to Obama's 1961 birth.

under Hawaiin statute 338-178 you can be born outside Hawaii or the US and STILL get a SHORT birth certificate if the parents had Hawaiin residency for one year prior to the birth-hence the reason the long version is SO important. Under federal law Section 301(g) INA a child born to 1 American and 1 Alien IN wedlock from 1952-1986 abroad can claim US birth if the American lived on US soil for 5 years after the age of 14 (19 years old). BO's mom was born 11-29-42 so she was 18 when he was born

The Constitution should not be changed for Obama if so what's next? There is a reason for that rule because of possible allegiances to other countries. Our country was based on our constition to even propose that is insane and unamerican

It's all quite simple: the birth certificate is valid; the record exists; the certificate being disputed is simply one issued at the request of someone and thus it has a different date on the form. Go ahead and order one of your own and it will not be issued on the same paper that it might have been in the year after your birth.

Where Obama was born DOES matter because the United States Constitution states that one of requirements is that those running for president MUST be BORN IN THE UNITED STATES. What is so difficult to understand or accept about that. 1) He was given the title of "The Messiah" by Louis Faracon, which Obama never did denounce or dismiss or downplay. 2) He voted four times for infanticide. 3) The president of Iran--Ahmadinejad celebrated when it was discovered Obama had won the election.

His mom was 18 when he was born.

Ever notice how the Constitution is no big deal when it works against you? The Courts can rule by the law of the land or decide that the constitution isn't worth fighting for. There is no middle ground unless there is a technical loop hole where the court can use to avoid making a decision. If he's legal then he's legal, If he's not then he must vacate. I think after Dec. 1 the SC will discover that Obama's response or lack of response will not suffice and will agree to open Berg vs.Obama.

LEAVE OBAMA ALONE! REPUBLICANS AND RACISTS ALIKE: YOU LOST! GET OVER IT! BARACK OBAMA WILL BE OUR 44TH PRESIDENT ON JANUARY 20,2009! You guys are sore losers and it makes me sick! What if we found out that John McCain wasn't a war hero that he claimed to be? Would you question his service record? Resident Bush lied about his service to this country and NONE of you are talking about that. ALAN KEYES NEEDS TO GET A LIFE! If you believe this crap, you're a dumb as him!

His father's race is listed as "African" because he was born in AFRICA. The 1960's race categorization does not apply to people who were born OUTSIDE the country. I get that we're not discussing his citizenship, we are discussing if he was natural born. But states release these forms b/c no man in his power would publically release his BC for the world to see. Does he need to risk everything to silence a few critics and cynic etremists? No. What next? His social security card & thumbprint?

I voted for Obama because I believed he was the best candidate for the job. If your choice was based on anything other than that you are ignorant and that is a personal problem. Obama is OUR 44th president, like it or not. All this so called "proof" that many claim to have regarding Obama's citizenship would have probably served you better before he was elected.It does spark the question, where were all of you prior to the election? Oh, you thought it couldn't be done. Well, YES WE CAN!!!

If Obama was born in Kenya, when his mother was 18, to a US Citizen and a Non-US citizen, per the laws on the books in 1961, Obama's mother would have had to live in the US for 14 years to pass citizenship to her son, AT LEAST FIVE (5) of which had to be after the age of 14. So for all of the people saying that his mother is a citizen so he is regardless, that that statement is false. I did not vote for him, but I will deal, provided he meets the standards set in the Constitution.

So you guys are saying that once a birth certificate is presented, you guys will pipe down, shut up, and accept him as your new president elect with open arms? I don't think so. When someone can back up their facts with something other than a conspiracy theory hate site, we'll talk. Honestly, if this was a valid concern, don't you think FoxNews would have jumped all over it by now? It would have been sweet justice to them. But they are currently mum about it, and so should you be.

It doesn't matter what party he is, what race he is or what religion he believes in. Flat out, the Constitution states that he must be a natural born citizen to be President. If he is, then he will prove it, if he hasn't already. If he isn't then appropriate measures should be taken. Whatever happens, the American people deserve to know the truth, one way or another. It would be a real embarrassment to this country if the person we put in office did not meet the qualifications for the job.

This is about equal to all the lies that have raged around the Clintons since he ran for president. Truth, logic and common sense means nothing to republicans. I don't remember anyone asking to see the original birth certificate of George W. Bush. [perhaps he was hatched on Mars?] OMG! The Mars Independent Party has confirmed that they will confirm that it has been confirmed that he *was* born on Mars!! The republicans spouting this stuff are all crazy, ignore them.

Also look at the watermark. Seems like this certificate was issues in 2007. Or atleast i can see a 2007 printed in reverse

Why is everyone arguing about this. There is a case open. I guess the judges will find out. It is mostly a free country... and everyone is free to challenge a decision. Someone has challenged and we will know the truth pretty soon.

In the spirit of reaching across the aisle, we owe it to the Democrats to show their president the exact same kind of respect and loyalty that they have shown the recent president.

Look you idiots - I was born in 1980 and when I asked for an original birth certificate from the State I got a laser copy too. When I was two my whole house burned down with my original typed in birth certificate my mother kept in her scrapbook. Am I an American citizen? Or is my laser copy good enough for the Dept of Defense but not you sore losers? He's the president-elect now. Get over it and come up with something better like proposals for this freaking bailout already!

"7:58 PM Anthony Cordasco wrote ... You crazy racists, John MCCain was born in Panama. Guess what, you have a black president. Hahhaahaahaa". This is about the Constitution, not the DNA code of the President-elect. The President is sworn to uphold the Constitition, same as I was when Active Duty Navy. The question of eligibility is legit for the first President-elect in a couple of centuries whose parents were not both US Born. FYI, Sen. McCain was born on US Soil (Navy Hospital, Panama Canal.)

This is not just about an Obama BirthCertificate , is not about Politicians,is not a racial issue. This is about The Same Constitution that give to all of us THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND SOCIAL benefits we all have and demand to have. Otherwise,our enemies, "with money",in the future, could create a President and we Importing him, as a car? "WE THE PEOPLE"most respect "THE CONSTITUTION OF OUR GREAT COUNTRY"over anything else,think about consequenses,if it's not!

ATTENTION OBAMA SUPPORTERS The United States constitution has clear qualifications required of a US president. If one of your parents is NOT a US citizen, the parent that IS a US citizen must have resided within the United States for TEN years. FIVE of those years must have been after the age of 16. Because Barack Obama’s mother was 18 when she gave birth to him, he is in violation of the supreme law of the land. If Obama does NOT have to abide by the constitution, why should we?

Well, Repugs--What do you want? Biden as President? Keep Bush for another four years, so he can damage the economy even more? FYI, if you request a certified copy of a birth certificate from Hawaii you will get exactly what is shown in the Obama release. The State of Hawaii has already certified it as genuine. Get a clue, and get over yourselves.

Part2 from giving its electoral votes to President-elect Barack Obama until documentary evidence is provided to prove Obama is indeed a citizen of the United States. Some conservatives have questioned Obama's citizenship in recent months. Obama says he was born in Hawaii in 1961. Keyes also ran against Obama as a Republican for the U.S. Senate seat in Illinois in 2004. Obama won that election to serve his first and only term in the U.S. Senate. The revised article above is bias!

Good grief! Is anyone here claiming to be an expert on document fraud? How ironic President Elect Obama was able to fool the Federal government but all of you ordinary citizens were able to figure out the conspiracy. Everyone is a genius in the wrong business? I bet you all have hourly wage jobs and finance your furniture. BTW if he wasn't a natural born, Hillary would have pulled that trick out of the hat long time ago.

All of you need to wake up. This is an obvious ploy to cause rioting in the streets for an excuse to declare martial law and scrapping the constitution. George W. Bush will be your dictator (or at least the puppet used by the dictatorship). Your "presidents" have never really had "power" since the Federal Reserve Act was passed. You people who vote are dumber than a back of hammers and so easily manipulated. The people who are "elected" don't work for you, they work for the banking elite.

Without a birth certificate he: 1. Attended school in Indonesia, which he would not have been able to do as a US citizen. 2. Travel to Pakistan in 1981, when US citizens were not permitted to. 3. Re-enter the US illegally, which he may have done. 4. Receive Foreign Student Aid, which he won't release his college transcript. The evidence demonstrates that he is not a US citizen, by it's absence.

Obama BC states his father's race is African. African is not a race. Back in 1961, which was during the apartheid era (1948-1990), the population was classified into four groups: Black, White, Asian (mostly Indian), and Colored. Kenya fell into an area that was classified Black. So how could a supposedly real BC that has been posted reflect African as his fathers race???? That classification was not around in 1961.

The man is a piece of work! Our nation is currently very vulnerable, and he may single-handedly bring down the US. This MUST BE ADDRESSED before January 20th. Hell, I can't even get a driving license without a birth certificate. Is asking him to produce one to sit in the oval office asking too much? If it is, then
