Another
very salient fact to consider at this time is that, despite all
of the
pronouncements of the print and broadcast media, Barack Obama is not
yet
the President-elect of the United States. Barack Obama can only become
the
President-elect after the Electoral College convenes on 15 DECEMBER
2008
in their respective state capitals around the nation and casts their
votes
to elect the President and the Vice President. As you can see this
election day
occurs two weeks after the required response to the Supreme
Court granted Writ
of Certiorari.
The bottom line is this: the
presidential election of 2008 remains an
ongoing process, the outcome of
which remains undetermined, and all talk about a
potential Constitutional
crisis in the United States are at least 36
days
premature.
The
inevitable constitutional crisis regarding President-elect Obama,
of
course, revolves around his inability (or unwillingness) to produce an
authentic
Hawaiian birth certificate with the raised certificate stamp that
the
Federal Elections Commission can independently verify.
Here are
some of the unanswered issues hanging over the head of
President-elect
Barack Obama and the question of his American citizenship:
· The
allegation that Obama was born in Kenya to parents unable to
automatically
grant him American citizenship;
· The allegation that Obama was made a
citizen of Indonesia as a child
and that he retained foreign citizenship
into adulthood without recording an oath
of allegiance to regain any
theoretical American citizenship;
· The allegation that Obama's birth
certificate was a forgery and that
he may not be an eligible, natural-born
citizen;
· The allegation that Obama was not born an American citizen;
lost any
hypothetical American citizenship he had as a child; that Obama
may not
now be an American citizen and even if he is, may hold dual
citizenships with
other countries. If any, much less all, of these
allegations are true, the suit
claims, Obama cannot constitutionally serve
as president.
· The allegations that "Obama's grandmother on his
father's side, half
brother and half sister claim Obama was born in Kenya,"
the suit states."
Reports reflect Obama's mother went to Kenya during her
pregnancy; however, she
was prevented from boarding a flight from Kenya to
Hawaii at her late stage
of pregnancy, which apparently was a normal
restriction to avoid births
during a flight. Stanley Ann Dunham (Obama)
gave birth to Obama in Kenya, after
which she flew to Hawaii and registered
Obama's birth."
· The claim could not be verified by inquiries to
Hawaiian hospitals,
since state law bars the hospitals from releasing
medical records to the
public;
Even if Obama produced authenticated
proof of his birth in Hawaii,
however, the suit claims that the U.S.
Nationality Act of 1940 provided that minors
lose their American
citizenship when their parents expatriate. Since Obama's
mother married an
Indonesian citizen and moved to Indonesia, the suit claims,
she forfeited
both her and Barack's American citizenship
