Another Update Nov 14
Presidential candidate Alan Keyes, AIP leaders sue in CA court to obtain Obama citizenship proof
By Online Friday, November 14, 2008
Presidential candidate Alan Keyes, vice-presidential candidate Wiley S. Drake, and the Chairman of the American Independent Party, Markham Robinson, have filed suit in California Superior Court in Sacramento seeking to bar Secretary of State Debra Bowen from certifying to Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger the names of Electors, and from transmitting to each presidential Elector a Certificate of Election, until documentary proof is produced and verified showing that Senator Obama is a “natural born” citizen of the United States, and does not hold citizenship of Indonesia, Kenya or Great Britain.
In addition, they have asked that the court issue a peremptory writ barring Senator Obama’s California Electors from signing the Certificate of Vote until such documentary proof is produced and verified.
In response to questions about why the suit was being filed, Ambassador Keyes commented, “I and others are concerned that this issue be properly investigated and decided before Senator Obama takes office. Otherwise there will be a serious doubt as to the legitimacy of his tenure. This doubt would also affect the respect people have for the Constitution as the supreme law of the land. I hope the issue can be quickly clarified so that the new President can take office under no shadow of doubt. This will be good for him and for the nation.”
Former Reagan administration official Ambassador Alan Keyes and Wiley S. Drake were the 2008 presidential and vice-presidential nominees of the American Independent Party, which is the California affiliate of the new national America’s Independent Party.
Mission Viejo, California attorney Dr. Orly Taitz and United Justice Foundation Executive Director Gary Kreep are representing the plaintiffs in this case.
Copies of the court filing, along with further information concerning developments in this case, will be made available at http://www.AIPNEWS.com, or can be obtained by contacting AIP national chairman Tom Hoefling.

Changing of the Guard"Constitutional Crisis" Looming Over Obama's Birth LocationAlan Keyes Lawsuit Warns America May See "Usurper" in Oval Office Posted: November 14, 2008By Bob Unruh© 2008 WorldNetDaily
The California secretary of state should refuse to allow the state's 55 Electoral College votes to be cast in the 2008 presidential election until President-elect Barack Obama verifies his eligibility to hold the office, alleges a California court petition filed on behalf of former presidential candidate Alan Keyes and others.
The legal action today is just the latest is a series of challenges, some of which have gone as high as the U.S. Supreme Court, over the issue of Obama's status as a "natural-born citizen," a requirement set by the U.S. Constitution.
WND senior reporter Jerome Corsi even traveled to Kenya and Hawaii prior to the election to investigate issues surrounding Obama's birth. But his research and discoveries only raised more questions.
The biggest question is why Obama, if a Hawaii birth certificate exists, simply hasn't ordered it made available to settle the rumors.
The governor's office in Hawaii said there is a valid certificate but rejected requests for access and left ambiguous its origin: Does the certificate on file with the Department of Health indicate a Hawaii birth or was it generated after the Obama family registered a Kenyan birth in Hawaii?
Obama's half-sister, Maya Soetoro, has named two different Hawaii hospitals where Obama could have been born, while a video posted on YouTube features Obama's Kenyan grandmother Sarah claiming to have witnessed Obama's birth in Kenya.
The California action was filed by Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation on behalf of Alan Keyes, the presidential candidate of the American Independent Party, along with Wiley S. Drake and Markham Robinson, both California electors.
"Should Senator Obama be discovered, after he takes office, to be ineligible for the Office of President of the United States of America and, thereby, his election declared void, Petitioners, as well as other Americans, will suffer irreparable harm in that (a) usurper will be sitting as the President of the United States, and none of the treaties, laws, or executive orders signed by him will be valid or legal," the action challenges.
The petition is a request for the Superior Court of California in Sacramento County to issue a peremptory writ barring Secretary of State Debra Bowen "from both certifying to the governor the names of the California Electors, and from transmitting to each presidential Elector a Certificate of Election, until such documentary proof is produced and verified showing that Senator Obama is a 'natural born' citizen of the United States and does not hold citizenship of Indonesia, Kenya or Great Britain."
It continues with a request for a writ barring California's electors from signing the Certificate of Vote until documentary proof is produced.

"Oh say 'kenya' see?" This is brillant and about time, being that we have kicked this issue around going on a year. Talk about stumping the news that hillary could be ob's sec of state pic. I haven't felt this good in months. We must pray that this cert (or lack of) issues stays at the forefront of every news cycle as long as it is missing. Perhaps an officail serch should be televised. Imagine a US President who doesn't know who is daddy (but he might be a communist) is or where he was born??? What the... This is why the Founding Fathers added that little clause into The Constitution that you have to be born on US soil in order to serve as president, just in case some gray day in American History when let's say for example that a muslim born in kenya with international terrorist and marxist ties steals the election and can't produce a genuine birth certificate, again, just in case this ever were to happen.

“No Person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States at the time of theadoption of this constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President;”63. Senator Barack H. Obama is a candidate for the Office of the President of the UnitedStates. However, to assume such office, Senator Obama must meet the qualifications specified for theOffice of the President of the United States, which includes that he must be a “natural born” citizen.Senator Obama has failed to demonstrate that he is a “natural born” citizen. There are other legalchallenges before various state and federal courts regarding aspects of lost or dual citizenship concerningSenator Obama. Those challenges, in and of themselves, demonstrate Petitioners’ argument thatreasonable doubt exists as to the eligibility of the Democratic Party’s nominee for President."

Unavoidable scenario: If SCOTUS disqualifies Obama BEFORE 1/20/09 inauguration, McCain is POTUS per remaining electoral college electors; if SCOTUS disqualifies Obama after 1/20/09 inauguration, Hillary likely becomes POTUS per vote of Dem controlled House of Rep. Either way, is clear Obama will NOT be or remain POTUS.
Are you certain of your scenario?
http://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/constitution.amendmentxii.html http://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/constitution.amendmentxx.html
Amendment XX Section 3.
If, at the time fixed for the beginning of the term of the President, the President elect shall have died, the Vice President elect shall become President. If a President shall not have been chosen before the time fixed for the beginning of his term, or if the President elect shall have failed to qualify, then the Vice President elect shall act as President until a President shall have qualified; and the Congress may by law provide for the case wherein neither a President elect nor a Vice President elect shall have qualified, declaring who shall then act as President, or the manner in which one who is to act shall be selected, and such person shall act accordingly until a President or Vice President shall have qualified.
WTF is wrong with you.....demanding to confirm Barack's citizenship. You "effing" moron, if this was an issue why wasn't it addressed by the countless media that has "vetted" him and his entire family. You people all should be shot in the "effing" head. Alan Keyes, you should be scalped you jackass.
I would like to personally thank the above poster for publicly displaying their intellect and character for all to see. I regret that it was done in the usual cowardly tactic of "anonymous".
Name calling and hyperbole are the tools of those who have no facts or logic.
