This week 9/11 Truther, Hillary supporter, and all around nut-job Philip J. Berg filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against Barack Obama on grounds that he is constitutionally ineligible to be President of the United States due to citizenship issues. Citizen Wells has the press release Here
Berg, in pure moonbat fashion, has taken a mosaic of unsubstantiated email rumors and created one steaming pile of a lawsuit that should be stomped on and laughed out of court! See the filed action Here
Berg cited a number of unanswered questions regarding the Illinois senator's background, and in today's lawsuit maintained that Sen. Obama is not a natural born U.S. citizen or that, if he ever was, he lost his citizenship when he was adopted in Indonesia. Berg also cites what he calls "dual loyalties" due to his citizenship and ties with Kenya and Indonesia.Even if Sen. Obama can prove his U.S. citizenship, Berg stated, citing the senator's use of a birth certificate from the state of Hawaii verified as a forgery by three independent document forensic experts, the issue of "multi-citizenship with responsibilities owed to and allegiance to other countries" remains on the table.
In the lawsuit, Berg states that Sen. Obama was born in Kenya, and not in Hawaii as the senator maintains. Before giving birth, according to the lawsuit, Obama's mother traveled to Kenya with his father but was prevented from flying back to Hawaii because of the late stage of her pregnancy, "apparently a normal restriction to avoid births during a flight." As Sen. Obama's own paternal grandmother, half-brother and half-sister have also claimed, Berg maintains that Stanley Ann Dunham--Obama's mother--gave birth to little Barack in Kenya and subsequently flew to Hawaii to register the birth.
Berg cites inconsistent accounts of Sen. Obama's birth, including reports that he was born at two separate hospitals--Kapiolani Hospital and Queens Hospital--in Honolulu, as well a profound lack of birthing records for Stanley Ann Dunham, though simple "registry of birth" records for Barack Obama are available in a Hawaiian public records office.
Should Sen. Obama truly have been born in Kenya, Berg writes, the laws on the books at the time of his birth hold that U.S. citizenship may only pass to a child born overseas to a U.S. citizen parent and non-citizen parent if the former was at least 19 years of age. Sen. Obama's mother was only 18 at the time. Therefore, because U.S. citizenship could not legally be passed on to him, Obama could not be registered as a "natural born" citizen and would therefore be ineligible to seek the presidency pursuant to Article II, Section 1 of the United States Constitution.
This issue is really grasping at straws... I don't know if the guy is a citizen or not but C'mon there are so many betters issues to clobber Obama with than this. Also, factcheck has fact checked the Obama's Birth Certificate portion of this issue and maintains it's all for not. Although I agree with the Tom Maguire... they did use sloppy logic in saying:
Of course, it's distantly possible that Obama's grandparents may have planted the announcement just in case their grandson needed to prove his U.S. citizenship in order to run for president someday.
Maguire hits back hard citing:
...But it is much less distantly possible that the grandparents planted the story in order to buttress their grandchild's claim to American citizenship as protection against a day when their daughter would be trying to gain custody of a black child with a Kenyan father in a Kenyan court. Divorces do happen, even nasty ones.
Exactly!
Boo-Yeah!
