The Supreme Court turns down a lawsuit that claims Barack Obama is ineligible to be President.

WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court has turned down an emergency appeal from a New Jersey man who says President-elect Barack Obama is ineligible to be president because he was a British subject at birth. The court did not comment on its order Monday rejecting the call by Leo Donofrio of East Brunswick, N.J., to intervene in the presidential election.

Donofrio says that since Obama had dual nationality at birth — his mother was American and his Kenyan father at the time was a British subject — he cannot possibly be a "natural born citizen," one of the requirements the Constitution lists for eligibility to be president.

Donofrio also contends that two other candidates, Republican John McCain and Socialist Workers candidate Roger Calero, also are not natural-born citizens and thus ineligible to be president.

At least one other appeal over Obama's citizenship remains at the court. Philip J. Berg of Lafayette Hill, Pa., argues that Obama was born in Kenya, not Hawaii as Obama says and Hawaii officials have confirmed.

Berg says Obama also may be a citizen of Indonesia, where he lived as a boy. Federal courts in Pennsylvania have dismissed Berg's lawsuit. Federal courts in Ohio and Washington state have rejected similar lawsuits.

Allegations raised on the Internet say the birth certificate, showing that Obama was born in Hawaii on Aug. 4, 1961, is a fake.

But Hawaii Health Department Director Dr. Chiyome Fukino and the state's registrar of vital statistics, Alvin Onaka, say they checked health department records and have determined there's no doubt Obama was born in Hawaii.

The nonpartisan Web site Factcheck.org examined the original document and said it does have a raised seal and the usual evidence of a genuine document.

In addition, Factcheck.org reproduced an announcement of Obama's birth, including his parents' address in Honolulu, that was published in the Honolulu Advertiser on Aug. 13, 1961.

(This version CORRECTS that Hawaii officials, not secretary of state, confirmed Obama birth certificate.)

[Hmm-kay, so there are people out there that tried REALLY, REALLY hard to get Barack Obama out of the deck to become President. It's almost like Obama getting elected was a personal thing for them. Like, I don't think there's really a Republican out there who thinks Obama's Presidency will END THE WORLD. Maybe some Stormfront retards will think so, but not much outside of that group of nuts.]

That's insane. Talk about clutching at straws. Some people are just bad losers.

Nobama is just Clinton, part Duex. That means in ten years, we'll be screwed again when all his policies come to fruiation and we have to deal with all the effects.

Whatever though. I will be in Germany or the Phillipines by then, so it won't matter to me anymore. LOL

That's the most relevant post I've ever seen. Good thing we weren't in a deficit when Clinton was in office. Enjoy your recession. In Germany.

...Hahaha.
Pretty much, ily.

Oh my god, that man lives ten minutes from me.

These people are such idiots. Why bother with such ridiculous notions?

The real trick is to impeach the president once in office, for violating the Constitution, which people seem to forget about. You know, the whole, "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

W should have been impeached under these terms -- after all, it's the oath they must swear to before taking office. If Obama contradicts the Constitution (and I have a feeling he will), no one will raise the alarm. This is symptomatic of a failing nation, when the fundamental rules no longer apply, sad, but seemingly inevitable.

Bush, Sr. and Clinton both should have been impeached, but never were. Bush the younger, however, has racked up the most violations by far. Too bad Dennis Kucinich wasn't taken seriously.

what a retard, if he hates obama that much he can move the hell outa here ! some people try so hard... what a sore loser

This is just Alan Keyes trying to get his name in the papers again. The fellow from NJ is probably no different.
