Obama Citizenship Eligibility Still Not Resolved, And A New Case Has Surfaced

According to World Net Daily a growing number of people are concerned over Barack Obama's citizenship eligibility to be President of the United States. In fact, a recent America Online Poll resulted in only 40 percent (when I took it) saying there is no issue to be investigated.

So far the lawsuits that have been filed, including Berg's and Donofrio's, have not done too well. Berg has no standing (but really, does anyone have standing on this case? Why does't the judicial system quit playing games and just enforce the U.S. Constitution and ensure eligibility of the President-elect?), according to his state Supreme Court (U.S. Supreme Court conferences and motions scheduled for January 9 and 16). Donofrio of New Jersey was denied a full hearing.

In Washington State, however, a new case has emerged. Attorney Stephen Pidgeon, while representing 12 plaintiffs, claims to have standing under a Washington Statute that allows "any" registered voter to challenge the eligibility of a candidate in any election. The suit intends to subpoena Hawaii for Obama's birth certificate.

Thanks to Andrea Shea King for alerting me to the information on this case.

Now, as I have said before, I don't know if Obama was born in Hawaii, Kenya, or the moon, and if he was in fact born in the United States, then great, welcome to the presidency. But there is evidence that he may not be eligible, and as a result, confirmation of his eligibility must be pursued. The fact that Obama has not simply provided the proof and put the rumors to bed adds to the questions being raised.

This is too big of an issue to be ignored.

Stay tuned, it may get interesting.
