Lawsuit Claims Obama not a US Citizen

The complaint is asking for declaratory (asking the court to declare Obama is not a US citizen, a “natural born” citizen and not eligible under the qualifications of the US Constitution to run for Office of President).
The law suite is asking for a temporary restraining order (TRO) prohibiting Obama from running for President until documents are provided proving he is eligible to run for POTUS.
The lawsuit was filed by a Phillip J. Berg (former chair of the PA democratic party) in Philadelphia courthouse against Barack Obama and the DNC for Obama’s ineligibility to run for President of the United States based on his not being a “natural born” citizen:
The lawsuit contends that Obama has held multiple (Kenya and Indonesia citizenships) and that he was actually born in Kenya, not Hawaii as Obama has claimed. The lawsuit has also been filed against the DNC.
The prominent Philadelphia attorney and Hillary Clinton supporter filed the suite in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against Illinois Sen. Barack Obama and the Democratic National Committee. The suite further seeks an injunction preventing the senator from continuing his candidacy and a court order enjoining the DNC from nominating him at the upcoming Demo convention. The law suite claims that Sen. Obama is constitutionally ineligible to run for and hold the office of President of the United States.
Phillip Berg, the filing attorney, is a former gubernatorial and senatorial candidate, former chair of the Democratic Party in Montgomery (PA) County, former member of the Democratic State Committee, and former Deputy Attorney General of Pennsylvania. According to Berg, he filed the suit–just days before the DNC are to hold its nominating convention in Denver–for the health of the Democratic Party.
“I filed this action at this time,” Berg stated, “to avoid the obvious problems that will occur when the Republican Party raises these issues after Obama is nominated.”
Berg cited a number of unanswered questions regarding the Illinois senator’s background, and in the lawsuit documents maintained that Sen. Obama is not a naturalized 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.
Moreover, even if Sen. Obama could have somehow been deemed “natural born,” that citizenship was lost in or around 1967 when he and his mother took up residency in Indonesia, where Stanley Ann Dunham married Lolo Soetoro, an Indonesian citizen. Berg also states that he possesses copies of Sen. Obama’s registration to Fransiskus Assisi School in Jakarta, Indonesia which clearly show that he was registered under the name “Barry Soetoro” and his citizenship listed as Indonesian.
The Hawaiian birth certificate, Berg says, is a forgery. In the suit, the attorney states that the birth certificate on record is a forgery, has been identified as such by three independent document forensic experts, and actually belonged to Maya Kasandra Soetoro, Sen. Obama’s half-sister.
“Voters donated money, goods and services to elect a nominee and were defrauded by Sen. Obama’s lies and obfuscations,” Berg stated. “If the DNC officers … had performed one ounce of due diligence we would not find ourselves in this emergency predicament, one week away from making a person the nominee who has lost their citizenship as a child and failed to even perform the basic steps of regaining citizenship as prescribed by constitutional laws.”
“It is unfair to the country,” he continued, “for candidates of either party to become the nominee when there is any question of the ability to serve if elected.”

Help answer the question about Obama
Would OBAMA be idealogically flexible enough to sign a healthcare bill that is stripped of the public option?Would OBAMA be idealogically flexible enough to sign a healthcare bill that is stripped of the public option that most voters are afraid will be morphed into a heavy-handed single-payer healthcare system.
Is Obama astute enough to recognize that he can't force people to accept a system where the government-alone controls doctor's income & patient's options.
They didn't embrace it because it was an April fool's joke with absolutely zero factual information.

"Pennsylvania Democrat Philip J. Berg, who filed a lawsuit demanding Sen. Barack Obama present proof of his American citizenship, now says that by failing to respond Obama"
http://www.fightthesmears.com/articles/5/birthcertificate
"Berg demands that the court verify the original document, which the Obama campaign has not provided."
"Now Berg cites Rule 36 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, which states that unless the accused party provides written answer or objection to charges within 30 days, the accused legally admits the matter."
So obama now has another 30 days to respond to the new charges. he complied with the original.
Ya see how this works?
Berg can drag this on forever. Obama has answered his request. he now has ANOTHER request of obama.
Let me tell ya something. Do you think the Secret service does their job? Do you think the secret service hasnt looked into whether obama was born in hawaii?
Why would the secret service be protecting a man that wasnt eligible to run for president?
Mr Berg is an unhappy man, and no amount of fulfillment by the obama camp will satisfy him. Mr berg will drag this on until the election to distract voters.

But I know I lost it to a better guy
You sir, are my hero.
I wish, maybe then we could just have two republicans run for president oh well. Oh and for all the retards saying that McCain can't run because he was born in Panama, his parents were US citizens so…..

KS1982
No he is not, even his grandmother said he was born in Kenya . This being true, all the "Bills" that Congress passed and Obama signed into Law are indeed null and void. We have no President ??? This would make the true President John McCain and Sarah Palin the true victors.
He is in control of the most highest position in U.S Government, and by our Constitutional Laws he must provide his qualifications to be an American President. I am confused as to WHY the Supreme Courts have permitted him to even run for election. All of the Obama political supporting Democrats (not the misled Democrats) need to be investigated in this crucial allegation of forged birth certificate, and electing him to run in a Presidential campaign.
ılıll|̲●|̅=̲|●̲|llılı
This Boom Box is entirely dedicated to the most hip President in the world.
President Obama
Yes. This man has yet to provide irrefutable proof of his citizenship. Those with nothing to hide, hide nothing. For reasons that defy logic, we lack the collective courage as a Supreme Court to require this of him, out of fear of minority uprising should the election be overturned.
Obama stands for everything I'm against. We need to deport all illegals and end third world immigration. We need elites, not lower class masses, as our society is becoming bottom-heavy. We need to mandate full time work for welfare recipients. If I can work 40 hours a week, so can any other able-bodied, able-minded individual. Keep welfare for those truly unable to be self-sufficient. We need to encourage capitalism and provide incentives to stimulate the economy, not outsource and attempt to jam Socialist principles down the throat of a collective Democracy.
We need a return to the American culture of a white, Anglo-Saxon, judeo-Christian nation that welcomes sub-cultures, but will never be absorbed by one. Zimbawe is a black nation and America is a white one. No need to project prejudice onto statements of fact. It is what it is. The white guilt needs to stop, and white Americans need to stop feeling the need to "apologize" for the fact that America is our country.
We're in for our darkest days, until we finally get this man out of office. The sooner, the better, but it may take a little while into his first term for the "sheeple" to wake up!
Re: “even his grandmother said he was born in Kenya .”
His Kenyan grandmother did NOT say he was born in Kenya.
His Kenyan grandmother actually said that he was born in Hawaii. This can be clearly heard if you listen to the complete recording of the tape, which is on Berg’s site. The complete recording includes a question asking “Whereabouts was he born?” And her answer was: “America, Hawaii.”
Here is the complete recording on Berg’s site. Be sure to listen for at least five minutes until the question is asked. (http://obamacrimes.com/Telephone_Interview_with_Sarah_Hussein_Obama_10-16-08.mp3)
If it is too difficult to listen to the complete tape, here is a transcript (http://www.obamaconspiracy.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/obamatranscriptlulu109.pdf).
There have been NO official documents from Kenya (numerous forgeries, however) that say that Obama was born in Kenya, and the only organization to have claimed that there are documents “sealed” in Kenya is WND. Its reports have not been confirmed by anyone. (And it would be easy to confirm because all you have to do is to find out if there are files which area sealed). There are hundreds of journalists in Kenya, and the fact that there were sealed files would be news.
Moreover, IF a child had been born in Kenya and subsequently came to the USA, there would be US documents showing that the trip took place. That is because if a child were born in Kenya, she or he would have to have either a US visa on a British passport or be issued its own US passport while in Kenya. IF either of those took place, there would still be US records in the US embassy in Kenya and in the US State Department in Washington, and they would have been found by now, and they have NOT been found.
All the allegations of Obama’s birth abroad were checked out by the McCain campaign, and they found that there were no facts. No facts at all. (http://washingtonindependent.com/52474/mccain-campaign-investigated-dismissed-obama-citizenship-rumors)
It is strange to believe that Obama’s mother even left Hawaii during pregnancy. Pregnant women rarely traveled long distances in 1961 because of the fear of stillbirths. Moreover, in 1961, to travel to Africa required a Yellow Fever shot, which is very bad during pregnancy.
There is NO proof that she left Hawaii before Obama was born. (NO one has even shown that she had a passport.) No proof that she went to Kenya, and no proof that Obama was born there.
There is an official birth certificate, whose facts were confirmed by two officials in Hawaii, that he was born in Hawaii.
He provided his birth certificate, the official birth certificate of Hawaii. (http://www.starbulletin.com/columnists/kokualine/20090606_kokua_line.html)
Obama put it on his web site, and showed the physical document to both Polifact and Factcheck. So, he has shown the physical document.
The document that he has shown is the OFFICIAL birth certificate of Hawaii. It is accepted by ALL the departments in Hawaii as proof of birth in Hawaii (Yes, including DHHL. I checked, they prefer the original, which some people have, but they accept the Certification as proof of birth in Hawaii) The US State Department and US Military also accept the Certification as proof of birth in Hawaii.
The facts on the Obama birth certificate, that he was born in Hawaii in 1961, were confirmed by the two officials of the Hawaii government who looked into his file. (http://www.swamppolitics.com/news/politics/blog/2008/11/obama_hawaaianborn_citizen_for.html)
The Wall Street Journal also notes that it is the official document. It said: “Further, if Congress were to pass the so-called birther bill, Obama would be able to comply easily. The bill would require presidential campaigns to submit “a copy of the candidate’s birth certificate” to the Federal Election Commission. The certificate Obama has released publicly would meet this requirement.”
Many states now issue only short-form birth certificates. They are legal documents, and when they have the raised seal and signature as required by the US State Department, they are accepted by the State Department. (Obama’s physical document has the seal and signature, as shown in FactCheck’s detailed photograph).
This is what the Wall Street Journal concludes: “Obama has already provided a legal birth certificate demonstrating that he was born in Hawaii. No one has produced any serious evidence to the contrary. Absent such evidence, it is unreasonable to deny that Obama has met the burden of proof. We know that he was born in Honolulu as surely as we know that Bill Clinton was born in Hope, Ark., or George W. Bush in New Haven, Conn.”
