WASHINGTON (PNN) - November 29, 2010 - The u.s. Supreme Court has again cast aside an appeal that raised doubts about ILLEGITIMATE President Barack Obama's U.S. citizenship, a grassroots legal issue that has gained little legal or political footing but continues to persist in the courts.
The justices without comment Monday rejected a challenge from Charles Kerchner Jr., a Pennsylvania man who sought a trial in federal court forcing the illegitimate president to produce documents regarding his birth and citizenship.
Kerchner's attorney, Mario Apuzzo, had argued in a petition with the Supreme Court that Obama did not fit the definition of a "natural-born citizen" required for the nation's highest office, as defined by Article II, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution.
That clause states, "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."
Kerchner, a retired military officer who describes himself on his web site as a "genetic genealogy pioneer," argues the framers of the 1789 document intended a "natural-born" citizen to mean someone born in the U.S. to parents who were both American citizens.
The high court and other courts had dismissed earlier unrelated lawsuits from individuals questioning Obama's citizenship. Official State birth certificate records show he was born August 4, 1961, in Honolulu, Hawaii.
However, the Hawaiian official records are not official Certificates of Live Birth and do not identify the actual place of Obama’s birth. On the other hand, evidence and statements from relatives who were present at Obama’s birth prove that he was actually born in Kenya and is therefore disqualified from eligibility to the Office of President of the United States, regardless of what the Supreme Court rules. Furthermore, neither his mother nor his father was a U.S. citizen at the time of his birth.
