A person is unequivocally required by the U.S. Constitution to be a Natural Born Citizen in order to legally occupy the Office of the President of The United States (POTUS).  Usurper Barack Hussein Obama continues to refuse to produce any such evidence that he actually is a Natural Born Citizen.      -Jefferson Paine

Why Obama wants to hide birth certificate

By Joseph Farah, WorldNetDaily

Since I began my quixotic campaign to uncover Barack Obama’s birth certificate, many have asked me about the president’s possible motives for hiding it with such tenacity and diligence.

I think there are many plausible motives:

• Perhaps something in that birth certificate, if it indeed exists, would contradict assertions Obama has made about his life’s story. These might even involve his true parental heritage. Without a real birth certificate, no one really knows who his parents were. So it is ridiculous even to speculate about whether citizenship could be conferred upon him by his mother, when we don’t know for sure who his mother is.
• Perhaps it reveals a foreign birth, as Hawaii allowed for in 1961 while still issuing the “certification of live birth” we have seen posted on his website.
• Or perhaps it will show just what Obama has claimed all along – a birth in Hawaii to two officially non-citizen parents, for the purpose of establishing “natural born citizenship” under the Constitution.

What do I mean by that last possibility?

Well, as you know, in 2008, the Senate of the United States held hearings to determine if one of the presidential candidates fulfilled the requirement of being a “natural born citizen.” It wasn’t Barack Obama. It was John McCain, who was born on a U.S. military base overseas to two U.S. citizens.

Start your own eligibility billboard campaign in your neighborhood with WND’s new yard signs, asking: “Where’s the Birth Certificate?”

On April 10 of last year, two senators, both Democrats, Patrick Leahy of Vermont and Claire McCaskill of Missouri, introduced a resolution into upper house expressing a sense of the Senate that McCain was indeed a “natural born citizen.”

It’s interesting what Leahy had to say on the subject: “Because he was born to American citizens (emphasis added), there is no doubt in my mind that Senator McCain is a natural born citizen. I expect that this will be a unanimous resolution of the U.S. Senate.”

And, indeed it was. It was also, interestingly, the only such hearing held by the Congress on the subject of “natural born citizenship” and its application to the 2008 presidential race. Why was that interesting? Because everyone involved in this process knew – or should have known – that the life story told by Barack Obama would raise far more doubts about his eligibility than McCain’s.

Notice Leahy did not say one parent citizen would qualify a child for “natural born citizenship.” He indicted it would take two to tango.

He did so again at a Judiciary Committee hearing April 3, when he asked then-Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, a former federal judge, if he had any doubts about McCain’s eligibility to serve as president.

“My assumption and my understanding is that if you are born of American parents, you are naturally a natural-born American citizen,” Chertoff responded – again underlining the fact that both parents would need to be citizens.

And what did Leahy say to that? “That is mine, too.”

By the way, Obama voted for this resolution, so he obviously agrees with the definition of what constitutes a “natural born citizen” – the offspring of two U.S. citizens.

Can We Resuscitate our Flat-lined Constitution?

Now, I don’t know who Barack Obama’s parents are, because I have never seen his birth certificate. All I’ve seen is a facsimile of a “certification of live birth” on the Internet. That document, even if genuine, proves nothing about Obama’s birth in Hawaii or who his parents were. Hawaii had a very slipshod practice in 1961 of issuing these documents to babies born outside the country and listing parents who may not have been the parents at all.

But I do know who Barack Obama claims his parents were. According to him, neither one of them was an American citizen able to confer natural born citizenship on a child. One, Barack Obama Sr., was a foreign national from Kenya, and the other, Stanley Ann Dunham, was too young to have qualified under the law for bestowing that privilege on her son, even if the father had been a citizen and even in the unlikely event Obama was actually born in Hawaii!

So, if we are to take Obama at his word, he is not a natural born citizen and not eligible to serve as president.

If he is to be judged by the same standard as his opponent in the race, there is no way he qualifies. That’s what Leahy said. That’s what Chertoff said. That’s what the law says.

A logical question naturally follows: Why didn’t the Congress of the United States hold hearings on Obama’s eligibility when they did so on McCain’s eligibility?

I’m still trying to figure that one out. Maybe the answer is this simple: Because there’s no way Obama would have qualified.

Another logical question follows: Why is this man still serving in the White House and turning the country upside down when he is not even constitutionally eligible?

That’s the heart and soul of the campaign I’ve been running.

By the way, further establishing that it was impossible for Obama to have been a “natural born citizen” are some astonishing words found on his own campaign website. They indicate that Obama was “at birth” a citizen of Kenya and a subject of Great Britain.Why did the founders insist upon a “natural born citizen” clause in the Constitution? To avoid questions of divided loyalties. (Just scroll down the webpage and read the FactCheck.org excerpt to see this amazing admission for yourself.)

So, again, I ask: Why doesn’t Obama want to reveal his real birth certificate? Because he wants this discussion of eligibility to go away – once and for all. It is a vulnerability he cannot explain away. So he would rather not discuss it at all.

But let me remind you all, in case you hadn’t considered this: Obama plans to run for re-election in 2012. And that’s why we can never, ever let this matter rest.

‘I told your Gestapo goons we had nothing to talk about’

Pantheon of 'Hope'

A Washington, D.C., man who believes Barack Obama probably isn’t eligible to be president – and colorfully stated as much to a federal judge who dismissed a case challenging Obama’s residency in the White House – says he got a visit from U.S. marshals for his exercise of free speech.

Jesse Merrell told WND he was reacting to Judge James Robertson’s decision to throw out a case challenging Obama’s eligibility because the issue had been thoroughly “twittered.”

Merrell sarcastically gave the judge a “good-for-you.”

“How dare people use a flimsy thing like the Constitution to darken your sanctimonious door!” he wrote to the judge. “The insane idea that a blue-gum baboon slashing our Constitution has to prove U.S. citizenship – as our silly old Constitution demands – is too absurd to consider in the sacred chambers of the tiny tin gods of the Potomac, adorning the royal purple and sipping Jim Jones Kool-Aid.

“Thanks to smug, slimy shysters like you, Obama gets a free ride – snootily stomping on our foolish Constitution, which supercilious idiots like you have long ago shredded for their own stupid opinions!” Merrell continued in the letter, a copy of which he provided to WND.

He finished with his speculation on what “ought” to happen to the judge, a physical act not appropriate for a family-oriented report.

A short time later, he said he found two U.S. marshals on his doorstep.

“After reading your story about Federal Judge James Robertson dismissing a suit challenging Obama’s natural born citizenship, and suggesting sanctions, I wrote him a very critical letter,” Merrell told WND. “Two U.S. marshals came to visit me, making threats to silence me.

“I told them unless the First Amendment had been repealed, or they had a warrant for my arrest, we had nothing to discuss,” he continued. “But they insisted on coming in, and making further threats.

“I responded with another letter, with firm language, but nothing I haven’t used for 30 years, and quoting Thomas Jefferson’s warning to bind judges with the ‘chains of the Constitution’ to prevent mischief.”

WND called the U.S. marshals service for comment, but there was no comment on the specific case. A WND message left for one of the officers involved also was not returned.

A media office spokeswoman who took the message did confirm that “anyone who may write a letter referencing a judge or put something in a letter causing the marshals to be concerned about the well-being of a judge, they would look into it.”

Merrell told WND his particular dislike of “government tyranny” has existed “since my fourth-great-grandfather, Captain Benjamin Merrell, was hanged – hanged, drawn and quartered – by the British Royal Governor of North Carolina in 1771 for protesting high and unjust taxes.”

Where’s the proof Barack Obama was born in the U.S. or that he fulfills the “natural-born American” clause in the Constitution? If you still want to see it, join more than 335,000 others and sign up now!

In his followup letter to the judge, Merrell’s language was a little more salty.

“I told your Gestapo goons, of course, that unless the First Amendment had been repealed, or they were there to arrest me, that we had nothing to talk about.,” Merrell’s letter said .”One of your Brown-Shirt Nazi bullies, however, could not resist threatening me with some obscure law – one he didn’t know where it was, or when it was created – which he said made it a crime to say something that caused a federal judge ‘emotional distress.’

“Emotional distress? What unbelievably unadulterated horses—!” Merrell wrote. “What about the repulsive, stomach-turning ‘emotional distress’ you black-robed baboons speciously dish out to the American people daily – haughtily spitting on our precious Constitution with your nauseating, decency-stomping, judicial-jack— slobber!

“If it is illegal for a Constitution-loving citizen to chastise a Constitution-scorning judge, who has spitefully spat on America’s consecrated moral bedrock, then the slimy, steel-laden tentacles of unspeakable tyranny are already wrapped tightly around helpless citizens – awaiting the final hideous strangulation.

“But not as long as one end of my red-blooded tongue is loose!” Merrell’s letter said.

He put the challenge directly to the judge:

“The Constitution clearly states, with no possible ambiguity – in Article 2, Section 1 – that ‘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,’” he wrote.

“America is going down the drain – economically and Constitutionally, with terrorists and illegal aliens pouring across our borders like invading armies practically unopposed – but our insufferable, over-bloated, dictatorial government, while turning a blind eye to all that, has time and money to send two high-paid federal marshals – probably $130,000.00 each – to harass a citizen daring to exercise his precious First Amendment rights, which you want to destroy,” he wrote.

“When you solemnly swear to uphold and defend the Constitution – then loathsomely lacerate and despicably desecrate that hallowed document – perhaps you should fear for your safety, for you have stopped being a dutiful servant of the people, and started arrogating unto yourself the venomous trappings of their tyrannical slave-master,” he wrote.

“Oh, and my ancestor, Captain Benjamin Merrell, wasn’t just hanged – but hanged, drawn and quartered: which means he was hanged, but taken down while yet alive, his abdomen violently sliced open and his entrails cruelly cut out and brutally thrown in his face and set afire…and then his body barbarically slashed into four quarters,” Merrell wrote. “So, naturally, I’m more than a little suspicious of dictatorial power such as you brandish. And I’m not alone.”

Obama Oath Redo - Where's the Holy Book?

A California attorney lobbying the U.S. Supreme Court for a review of Barack Obama’s qualifications to be president confronted the chief justice yesterday with legal briefs and a WND petition bearing names of over 325,000 people asking the court to rule on whether or not the sitting president fulfills the Constitution’s “natural-born citizen” clause.

According to Orly Taitz, the attorney who confronted Chief Justice John Roberts at a lecture at the University of Idaho, the judge promised before the gathered crowd that he would, indeed, read and review the briefs and petition.

“I addressed him in front of 800 people in the audience,” Taitz told WND, “including university officials, the president of the Idaho State Bar and the chief justice of the Supreme Court of Idaho, and in front of all them, [Roberts] promised to read my papers.”

Roberts was lecturing on Abraham Lincoln to approximately 1,200 attendees of the annual Bellwood Memorial Lecture Series at the Moscow, Idaho, university. Roberts has been chief justice of the Supreme Court since his nomination by President George W. Bush and subsequent confirmation in 2005.

Earlier in the week, Taitz confronted Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, who told her the issue of Obama’s eligibility, which has been raised before the Supreme Court at least four times but has yet to be given a single hearing, still lacked the votes of the required four justices in conference before it would be officially heard.

Taitz said, “I told Scalia that I was an attorney that filed Lightfoot v. Bowen that Chief Justice Roberts distributed for conference on Jan. 23 and now I represent nine state reps and 120 military officers, many of them high ranked, and I want to know if they will hear Quo Warranto and if they would hear it on original jurisdiction, if I bring Hawaii as an additional defendant to unseal the records and ascertain Obama’s legitimacy for presidency.”

The legal phrase Quo Warranto essentially means an explanation is being demanded for what authority Obama is using to act as president. An online constitutional resource says Quo Warranto “affords the only judicial remedy for violations of the Constitution by public officials and agents.”

Where’s the proof Barack Obama was born in the U.S. or that he fulfills the “natural-born American” clause in the Constitution? If you still want to see it, join more than 325,000 others and sign up now!

“Tell me what to do, what can I do?” Taitz reports asking Scalia. “Those soldiers [her plaintiffs] can be court-martialed for asking a legitimate question, who is the president, is he legitimate?”

She says Scalia responded, “Bring the case, I’ll hear it, I don’t know about others.”

In Idaho, Taitz obtained the promise of one of the others, the chief justice, that he would read through the eligibility challenge, including the petition brought by WND readers.

As WND reported, Taitz is submitting a motion to the Supreme Court for re-hearing of Lightfoot v. Bowen, a case she is working on through her foundation Defend Our Freedoms, alleging some of her documentation may have been withheld from the justices by a court clerk.

She asserts docketing information about her case “was erased from the docket of the Supreme Court on January 21st, one day after the inauguration and two days before [the case was to be heard].”

Heroic Attorney, Dr. Orly Taitz

At the lecture in Idaho, Taitz grabbed the attention of Justice Roberts by boldly addressing her allegation that a clerk had buried the case.

Taitz told WND that the forum rules required that those questioning Roberts announce their relationship to the University of Idaho and refrain from talking about cases currently before or likely to appear before the court.

“I said, ‘Justice Roberts, my name is Orly Taitz. I’m an attorney from California, and I got up at 3 o’clock in the middle of the night, flew and drove thousands of miles just to ask you a question. So please give me some leeway,’” Taitz told WND. “My question is, do you know there is illegal activity going on in the Supreme Court of the United States?”

According to Taitz, the room was stunned silent as she continued, “I have presented my case to you, and you personally agreed to hear this case in conference. But your clerk refused to forward a supplemental brief to you. He has hidden this brief from you. He refused to put it on the docket. Additionally, my case was erased from the docket one day after the Inauguration, two days before my case was to be heard.

“Outraged citizens and members of the media and state representatives are calling the Supreme Court, demanding to have the case reentered on the docket,” Taitz told Roberts.

Then she held up the WND petition and continued, “Moreover, here are the names of U.S. citizens who signed this petition and who sent individual letters to individual justices, including you, Justice Roberts, all of them demanding the same thing – that you hear my case in regards to Barack Hussein Obama’s eligibility for presidency.”

According to Taitz, Roberts approached the microphone and said, “I see you have papers. I promise you I will read all your papers, I will review them. Please give them to my Secret Service and I will review all of them.”

Shortly thereafter, Taitz told WND, a Secret Service agent identified by his badge as Gilbert Shaw accepted two suitcases of documents and pledged to deliver them to Roberts.

Taitz reports the documents included four major sections:

• A motion for reconsideration of Lightfoot v. Bowen with all its supplemental briefs.
• The Quo Warranto Easterling et al v. Obama et al case.
• The WND petition, consisting of 3,300 pages of names – over 325,000 in all – of people demanding the Supreme Court hear the Obama eligibility case.
• A copy of a 164-page dossier sent to Attorney General Eric Holder detailing suspected criminal activity surrounding Obama and his supporters, also available on the Defend Our Freedoms website.

WND has reported on dozens of legal challenges to Obama’s status as a “natural born citizen.” The Constitution, Article 2, Section 1, 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.”

Some of the lawsuits question whether he was actually born in Hawaii, as he insists. If he was born out of the country, Obama’s American mother, some suits contend, was too young at the time of his birth to confer American citizenship to her son under the law at the time.

Other challenges have focused on Obama’s citizenship through his father, a Kenyan subject to the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom at the time of his birth, thus making him a dual citizen. The cases contend the framers of the Constitution excluded dual citizens from qualifying as natural born.

Implore your Justices to Hear This Case!

And why does he continue to hide any and all information about his origins and his true allegiances?!  We may never know – but his attempt to usurp the Presidency of The United States (POTUS) via a massive fraud upon the American People is nearing its completion as of January 9^th, 2009.

The question of our time, and whether this American Nation will continue to endure, is whether our Supreme Court of The United States (SCOTUS) will even entertain hearing the merits of this case, Lightfoot vs. Bowen, intervening against his fraudulent claim upon the U.S. Presidency?

Is it at this point a fait accompli, or will our SCTOUS perform their Constitutional DUTY to the American People, and determine WHO THIS MAN IS – Barack Hussein Obama II ?!

The question that We the People demand to be answered, is a fairly simple one; per Article II of the U.S. Constitution, it 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.“

There are three components here that require satisfactory proof, ALL of which must be met in order to be eligible to occupy the Office of POTUS.  Let’s review them:

• I. He must have resided within the U.S. for a minimum of fourteen (14) years – This requirement would undoubtedly be the easiest to prove in the affirmative, at least by affidavits by contemporaneous colleagues and associates. Because he has offered no proof as such, he receives his First Strike against his claim upon the U.S. Presidency.
• II. Second, he must have attained the minimum age of thirty-five (35) years. This, too, would ostensibly be easy for him to prove via multiple affidavits and perhaps contemporaneous documents of his dating before Jan. 20^th, 1974, but again, no such proof has been offered by the usurper-elect. Second Strike. (Again, we recognize that this requirement may be easily proven, if not for his continued secrecy of all originating documentation – such as producing his real Birth Certificate! – see requirement III.)
• III. Third, Barack Hussein Obama II must show sufficient proof that he is a “natural born Citizen” of the United States. This has two parts which both must be met: a.) He must have been a “Natural Born” citizen, and b.) He must now be a Citizen of the United States.
• a. Being “natural born” has two components which both must be met: 1.) He must have been born to parents (plural) who are U.S. Citizens. His mother was ostensibly a U.S. Citizen although no proof has been offered. His Muslim father, Barack Hussein Obama I, undisputedly, was an African national, native-born in British-colonial Kenya, and was therefore then a Kenyan and British colonial subject at the time of the alleged birth of his son. This constitutes, clearly a Third Strike, for his father at no time was a U.S. Citizen. And, 2.) He must show that he was born on U.S. Soil. He has yet to produce, to the public, any proof of a real Birth Certificate showing that he was actually born in Hawaii. There are blood relatives in Kenya (including BHO I’s own mother) who swear that they witnessed the birth of BHO II while his parents visited them in Kenya. If it cannot be proven that BHO was born upon U.S. soil, this not only proves that he is not “natural born”, and thus alone constitutes a Third Strike, but also highlights the independent query of general Citizenship, b.), below.
• b. Which brings us to the question of whether BHO is even a United States Citizen as of January 9^th, 2009? Regardless of where he was actually born, he could have dual, or multiple citizenship statuses, or be of singular foreign citizenship status if such status of his could ever be proven. In other words, technically legally, BHO may be any of the following: i.) a native-born citizen of Kenya, ii.) a native-born citizen of Hawaii and a citizen of Kenya, iii.) a Citizen of Indonesia after his second Muslim father stripped his U.S. Citizenship for that of Indonesian Citizenship, and iv.) several other scenarios including one that BHO II may technically be an “illegal alien” having never been properly naturalized as a U.S. Citizen. Regardless of which of the foregoing categories BHO II falls into, his status as anything other than purely a U.S. Citizen would also independently achieve a Third Strike in this case, whether he were “natural born” or not.

Remember, since all three requirements must be proven, in order to be eligible for the Presidency, this makes it a ONE Strike and you’re disqualified situation.

In fact, if you had any trouble parsing the foregoing logic consider this:  Since BHO II’s father BHO I was indisputably not a U.S. Citizen, then BHO II cannot be natural born, and therefore, is not qualified to be POTUS – regardless of any other requirement or status!  Do you realize, that if WE allow a Usurper to occupy the Oval Office, not only will we have an Impostor issuing commands to our U.S. Military and have his finger on the red “Button”, but every piece of legislation he signs will be passed into law illegally and will be illegitimate?  Who wants to live under that Tyranny?!

Please send a letter to the Supreme Court of the United States and demand that they immediately subpoena all information from Barack Hussein Obama, and hear oral arguments on the merits of this case – Lightfoot vs. Bowen.  Time is of the essence!
