Keyes adds his "standing" to Obama citizenship challenge

A 'Constitutional crisis' is looming over Barack Hussein Obama's unwillingness to prove his birth location and thus his US "natural born" citizenship.

That is the warning of Alan Keyes, a political activist and media commentator widely regarded as a beacon of moral clarity, whose lawsuit in California warns that America may have a 'usurper' in Oval Office unless something is done to stop him.

A California court petition filed on behalf of former presidential candidate Alan Keyes and others, including California electors, calls on the California secretary of state to prevent the state's 55 Electoral College votes from being cast in the 2008 presidential election until President-elect Barack Obama verifies his eligibility to hold the office.

The legal action today is just the latest is a series of challenges which challenge Obama's status as a "natural-born citizen," a requirement set by the U.S. Constitution for the President. The suit of Philadelphia attorney Philip Berg was rejected prior to the election by a Federal Circuit Court judge on the grounds that Berg lacked "standing" to bring the suit because he was just an ordinary citizen. He is appealing the case to the Supreme Court of the United States, and Associate Justice Souter has schedule the date of December 3 for filings on the matter. However, because Keyes ran for President on a third-party ticket this year and another plaintiff is an actually elector, it appears that the "standing" issue will not apply here. Clearly these men do have a personal standing in the case and potential injury.

The biggest question -- asked by virtually all who address this issue -- is why Obama, if as he claims a Hawaii birth certificate exists, simply hasn't ordered it to be made available to settle the issue and dispel the rumors or, as his campaign called them, the "smears." While Hawaiian health officials do say that there is a birth record on file, they did not comment on the contents of the record, which leaves open the questions of where he was really born. "Hawaii Revised Statute 338-178 allows registration of birth in Hawaii for a child that was born outside of Hawaii to parents who, for a year preceding the childʼs birth, claimed Hawaii as their place of residence," the document said. "The only way to know where Senator Obama was actually born is to view Senator Obama's original birth certificate from 1961 that shows the name of the hospital and the name and signature of the doctor that delivered him."

The stakes, the suit claims, are enormous. "Should Senator Obama be discovered, after he takes office, to be ineligible for the Office of President of the United States of America and, thereby, his election declared void, Petitioners, as well as other Americans, will suffer irreparable harm in that (a) usurper will be sitting as the President of the United States, and none of the treaties, laws, or executive orders signed by him will be valid or legal," the action challenges.

The petition is a request for the Superior Court of California in Sacramento County to issue a peremptory writ barring Secretary of State Debra Bowen "from both certifying to the governor the names of the California Electors, and from transmitting to each presidential Elector a Certificate of Election, until such documentary proof is produced and verified showing that Senator Obama is a 'natural born' citizen of the United States and does not hold citizenship of Indonesia, Kenya or Great Britain." It requests a writ barring California's electors from signing the Certificate of Vote until documentary proof is produced.

Citing the constitutional requirement that a president be a "natural born" citizen, the case discusses other state and federal court cases regarding "aspects of lost or dual citizenship concerning Senator Obama. Those challenges, in and of themselves, demonstrate Petitioners' argument that reasonable doubt exists as to the eligibility of the Democratic Party’s nominee for President," the case said.

Reuven, Yesterday in the UK SUN, an article about al-Zawahiri's new terror tape, quotes the alqaida chief addressing Sen. Obama as "son of Malik Al Shabaz (Malcolm X). " Tony Wells' article is a very interesting read! This CANNOT be construed as the ramblings of "some right wing conspiracy nut"! Again, I am forced to ponder, WHY hasn't Obama displayed his documents and scuttled this undercurrent, especially since the US Supreme Court is holding a "conference" on the matter on December 5. I am compelled to consider a combination of the two primary theories that are in seeming conflict, as perhaps simply "both being true, and validating each other!"
1) He was born of Ann Dunham and Obama Sr in Kenya and the President elect is covering up his consequent illegal status re:eligibility.
2) He is the illigimate son of Malcolm X.
I deduct from these a synthesis. He was born the son of Macolm X and Mrs(Ms) "Unamed to date", legally and is a US Citizen. Fearing for his life his was surrepetitiosly scurried out of the country (Moses in the basket?, will probably become the theme), given secretly to Dunham to raise with help (which would explain the picture of Dunham on the beach in a bikini at the time of 3rd trimester of the purported pregnancy). The registration of birth in Hawaii therefor, is not actually going to reveal an "illegal citizenship", but instead an elaborate contrivance, gone bad in the details...after all...who would believe the son of Macolm X could be President?
So the plot thickens of course. If true, when did Obama find out? Will he claim he is only finding out since the "search of records he asumed were accurate, about a life story he believed was accurate, all left him believing he was actually a Sotero/Obama baby? But, since I have been elected, and I am actually legal,
I'll just learn to live with newly rendered self image-which is strictly a personal matter, and America will just have to understand...Fantastic, but maybe closer to the truth than we dare to imagine...sure makes good movie script...Everyone should have fun with this one...or should they? It would certainly put Malcolm's close friend, confidant, and "mentor to his son"...Weathermen-US TERROR leader, William Ayers...in a new and different perspective for the public eye...as well as Rev. Jeremiah Wright...also mentor/friend/pastor/who shares a dual citizenship problem, albeit spirtual...Christian in name/Muslim in view of Jesus...and the list goes on...enter stage left..."the Obamatrons"...like the planet they have chosen their man to guide: they are: slighly out of sync with true magnetic north and spin on different axis; they think they're hot, when really its just normal cycles in motion and the earth corrects itself and cares not for the opinion of man, while politics corrects itself with the shifting whims of the masses; they talk about "the prevailing winds" while ignoring the fact that the direction the earth spins causes the wind-not the spinning of the wind that causes rotation; and most important of all, no matter how large the majority that consents to their rule, neither G-d's truth nor his plan will ever bend to their opinions or programs... however this drama obout Sen. Obama's origins plays out, it is his future that now rules the balance of racial peace, economic stability, Constitutional law, and The Bill of Rights...If either or both of these scenarios has any legitimacy at all,
we and therefore the world are facing terrible consequences as a result...

The above posted abstract is meaningless. First, several professionals have stated that it is false. Second, it is an abstract. You can't get a U.S. passport with an abstract. The abstract fails to prove the supporting evidence regarding timely registration, name of hospital, name of doctor or nurse, etc. Third, if his dad is Barack Sr. and he was born in the U.S. he is a U.S. citizen but not a natural born as defined in the constitution.

That is not a birth certificate
JMKC Comment by JMKC on November 18, 2008 at 8:08am
On other Certificates of Live Birth for persons of race that have been posted on the internet, from the same period of time, their race has been listed. Blacks were listed from that period of time as "negro", not African.
A point that most Obamamaniacs are missing.

On the COLB copy that was posted on this thread, you can just vaguely make out in the lower left, toward the middle of the lower portion of the document, the year stamped on the back,,,,,2007.
Again, why post a COLB, and not his REAL birth certificate which Obama mentions that he is in possession of.
Why would Obama have his website, FightTheSmears, state that this is Obama's real "birth certificate", when it was only a suspect Certificate of Live Birth, and try to convince people to go out and convince others that it is all a vast right wing conspiracy to discredit him?
Many more questions go unanswered.

And, contrary to popular belief, the F.B.I. does not run background checks on Congressional (Senate) or Presidential candidates. I hope that changes.

http://conservativepolitics.today.com/2008/06/25/proven-barack-obama-presented-forged-certificate-of-live-birth/
"The FBI does NOT run background checks on congressional candidates. The FBI can only “run a background check” if they receive a request from a bona fide law enforcement official, and then only in an identifiable context (priors, national warrents, gun permit requests and some others).

If fact, the FBI doesn’t do “background checks” at all (they will send information found in their criminal database, but unless they are actually working on a case, they won’t do any other investigation).

Full scale background checks are handled as part of a request for a security clearance, but that’s handled by the Defense Security Service (DSS) for DoD personel or Defense Industrial Security Clearance Office (DISCO) for defense contractors.

Congress is VERY protective of its perogatives, and would NOT allow the executive branch (FBI, DoD) to determine who could or could not become a congressman.

The President, as CIC (Commander In Chief) and head of the executive, has access to classified information without the need for a security clearance. (Hillary, though, as first spouse, did NOT have a security clearance and therefore was NOT (or should not have been) allowed to view classified material)."

How come that birth certificate does not state 'place of birth'? Is this normal?

Obama is such a fraud and a liar and I do not know why people think he is so great. I just don't get it.

"Did Next Commander-in-Chief Falsify Selective Service Registration?
Never Actually Register?
Obama's Draft Registration Raises Serious Questions"

http://www.debbieschlussel.com/archives/2008/11/exclusive_did_n.html

"Did President-elect Barack Hussein Obama commit a federal crime in September of this year? Or did he never actually register and, instead, did friends of his in the Chicago federal records center, which maintains the official copy of his alleged Selective Service registration commit the crime for him?

It's either one or the other, as indicated by the release of Barack Obama's official Selective Service registration for the draft. A friend of mine, who is a retired federal agent, spent almost a year trying to obtain this document through a Freedom of Information Act request, and, after much stonewalling, finally received it and released it to me.

But the release of Obama's draft registration and an accompanying document, posted below, raises more questions than it answers. And it shows many signs of fraud, not to mention putting the lie to Obama's claim that he registered for the draft in June 1979, before it was required by law."

Form Shows Barack Obama didn't have ID

Has Obama ever shown I.D.????

"where is the other page, and what's on it?
A lot of questions here. And a lot of huge hints that this government-released, official Barack Obama Selective Service registration was faked.
Either he signed the fake backdated document, or someone else faked his signature and he never registered for the draft (and lied about it).

Which is it?

It's incredible that our impending Commander-in-Chief either didn't register for the draft or did so belatedly and fraudulently.

The documents indicate it's one or the other."
JMKC Comment by JMKC on November 17, 2008 at 7:05am
Obama was born to Anne Dunham when she was 18.
According to U.S. law, in the case of a child born of a foreign citizen and a U.S. citizen,
the U.S. citizen would have to have fulfilled five years in the U.S. past the age of 16.
You do the math.

FightTheSmears, Obama's own website admitted that Obama was a Kenyan citizen, and, therefore, held British citizenship.
http://newsbusters.org/node/24749/print
Here is the startling admission published in Fight the Smears (emphasis mine):

“When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom’s dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children.
A minor (Berg) lawsuit that seemed to be just a small irritant has now caused the Obama website to respond by admitting that he was once a Kenyan citizen. Where is the MSM (main stream media) on this? Which brave reporter will quote Obama's own website to him? Until now, there has been absolutely no mention in the mainstream media that we have a presidential candidate that once held citizenship with another country.

"Since Sen. Obama has neither renounced his U.S. citizenship nor sworn an oath of allegiance to Kenya, his Kenyan citizenship automatically expired on Aug. 4, 1982.”

But, now that story has disappeared even from the FightTheSmears archives.
If you do a Google search for; fightthesmears obama born kenya
it brings up this page;
http://www.google.com/search?q=fightthesmears+obama+born+kenya&rls=com.microsoft:*:IE-SearchBox&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=ie7&rlz=1I7DKUS_enUS291
The cached (archived) webpage has been "scrubbed". Hmmmmmm.
Time to go searching for it.

http://www.factcheck.org/askfactcheck/does_barack_obama_have_kenyan_citizenship.html

"When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom's dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.'s children:

British Nationality Act of 1948 (Part II, Section 5): Subject to the provisions of this section, a person born after the commencement of this Act shall be a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies by descent if his father is a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies (in this case Kenya) at the time of the birth.

In other words, at the time of his birth, Barack Obama Jr. was both a U.S. citizen (by virtue of being born in Hawaii) and a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies (or the UKC) by virtue of being born to a father who was a citizen of the UKC.

Obama's British citizenship was short-lived. On Dec. 12, 1963, Kenya formally gained its independence from the United Kingdom. Chapter VI, Section 87 of the Kenyan Constitution specifies that:


1. Every person who, having been born in Kenya, is on 11th December, 1963 a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies or a British protected person shall become a citizen of Kenya on 12th December, 1963...

2. Every person who, having been born outside Kenya, is on 11th December, 1963 a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies or a British protected person shall, if his father becomes, or would but for his death have become, a citizen of Kenya by virtue of subsection (1), become a citizen of Kenya on 12th December, 1963.

As a citizen of the UKC who was born in Kenya, Obama's father automatically received Kenyan citizenship via subsection (1). So given that Obama qualified for citizen of the UKC status at birth and given that Obama's father became a Kenyan citizen via subsection (1), it follows that Obama did in fact have Kenyan citizenship after 1963. So The Rocky Mountain News was at least partially correct.

But the paper failed to note that the Kenyan Constitution prohibits dual citizenship for adults. Kenya recognizes dual citizenship for children, but Kenya's Constitution specifies that at age 21, Kenyan citizens who possesses citizenship in more than one country automatically lose their Kenyan citizenship unless they formally renounce any non-Kenyan citizenship and swear an oath of allegiance to Kenya.

Since Sen. Obama has neither renounced his U.S. citizenship nor sworn an oath of allegiance to Kenya, his Kenyan citizenship automatically expired on Aug. 4,1982."

"FactCheck.org Has New (Obama) Birth Certificate Story"

We are in the midst of a maelstrom.
This is treason on the part of all who had knowledge of this conspiracy.
We should demand who knew what, and exactly when they knew it.
JMKC Comment by JMKC on November 17, 2008 at 5:49am
A key point is that Certificate of Live Birth, when compared with other Certificates of Live Birth that are posted on the internet from that same time period, under "race" it lists the person's race, not "nationality" as on this document.
There are other glaring discrepancies.
