Court: No review of Obama's eligibility to serve (AP)

Post Reply New Topic

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.

All hail President Donofrio!...

and they think we're clueless...

Now he just has to get rid of Ron Paul and Nader...

This case would be dead anyway because the dual citizenship thing would not work because Obama's dad was more then likely an American citizen upon his birth. Thus the case was pointless. The McCain argument is dead as well since he was born on a U.S. Submarine Base thus American Soil. The guy was just not being smart with lack of evidence to prove his claim thus being irrational.

The lengths that people will got to in order to get their way never ceases to amaze me, especially when their causes are hopelessly mired in arrogance, ignorance, and self-centered emotionalism (new sig!).
