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.

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 birth certificate online, and saying: "Barack Obama was born in the state of Hawaii in 1961, a native citizen of the United States of America."

NBC Augusta has obtained a copy of that birth certificate.

Application (08A391) denied by Justice Souter.

The 1st one was denied..the 2nd one No. 08-570 is on the Docket

I read it as dead too, seems like the flow is writ to get the lower courts records and then denied base on receipt of those records, but IANAL (is that the right acronymn?... Where did the orginal poster get the story?

I am confused. If his Mother was an American Citizen then isn't he also an American Citizen?

Yes he is. But the requirement is to be a natural born citizen. There is speculation that he was born in Kenya while him mum was on a trip there. Since he was not around in physical body at the time of the Adoption of the constitution, he doesn't get to rely on the "or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constituion" clause. McCain is kind of, almost, in the same boat though. We know that he was born on a military base in the panama canal, but they had, back then, passed a law saying that anyone on born on the canal to us parents in the military, was considered a US Citizen.

If push come to shove, Liberty, you could get Bob Barr after all if both Obama and McCain were to be judged not Natural Born... :reddevil
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.
