As the Supreme Court discusses arguments related to President Obama's
eligibility, it may be instructive to note a recent best-seller
investigated the issue in question, finding Obama may not fit the
constitutional requirement that stipulates only "natural born" citizens
can serve as U.S. president.
The Supreme Court conferred yesterday on whether arguments should be heard
on the merits of a case entitled Kerchner v. Obama, which debates whether
the writers of the Constitution believed the term "natural-born citizen"
meant a person born in the United States to two parents who were both
American citizens.
With nearly 900 endnotes, the book, "The Manchurian President: Barack
Obama's Ties to Communists, Socialists and Other Anti-American
Extremists," investigated the issue. The tome was written by WND senior
reporter Aaron Klein and researcher Brenda J. Elliott.
An investigation by the authors found that according to correspondence
from the original framers of the Constitution as well as multiple Supreme
Court rulings and the legal writings that helped establish the principles
of the Constitution, Obama is not eligible to serve as president since his
father was not a U.S. citizen.
The authors concluded Obama may not be eligible regardless of his place of
birth. The book recommends further legislative and judicial debate.
"It is undisputed that Obama's father was not a U.S. citizen," wrote
Klein, "a fact that should have led to congressional debate about whether
Obama is eligible under the United StatesConstitution to serve as
president."
Obama was born Aug. 4, 1961, to Stanley Ann Dunham and Barack Obama Sr.
Dunham was an American of predominantly English descent from Wichita,
Kan., and was 18 years old at the time of Obama's birth. Obama Sr. was a
member of the Luo tribe from Nyang'oma Kogelo, Nyanza Province, Kenya,
which at the time was still a British colony.
Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5 of the U.S. Constitution stipulates
presidential eligibility, requiring the nation's elected chief to be a
"natural born citizen."
The clause states: "No person except a natural born citizen, or a Citizen
of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of thisConstitution ,
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."
