Could BHO Birth Certificate Become a Constitutional Crisis?

The Law Suit brought by Philip Berg to challenge Barack Hussein Obama’s citizenship status to be constitutionally eligible to be elected President has not been a part of the Mainstream Media (MSM). Actually I can understand the MSM dismissal as newsworthy as to the particulars of the Law Suit.

Berg’s argument seems to be BHO has not provided a notarize Birth Certificate from the State of Hawaii. Further Berg’s argument is that BHO was born in Kenya, Africa.

So let’s presume all the above is true. Would that make Barack Hussein ineligible to be President of the USA? I mean I am no constitutional expert but I thought the qualifications was to be at least age 35 and American citizen born from at least one American parent. If I am wrong in that understanding someone point me to the constitutional law that is specific.

I am guessing Berg believes that a person has to be born on USA soil to qualify to be elected President.

So here’s the deal: Berg’s law suit was dismissed in Federal Court. Judge Surrick ruled Berg lacked standing to bring such a law suit because he was just a mere citizen of the USA. The implication a special citizen in government such as a Congressman or Executive Department are the only ones eligible to bring such a suit.

Now I think Berg’s law suit is frivolous thinking the Courts would rule anything against BHO; however Judge Surrick’s ruling restricts the typical U.S. citizen from questioning the legitimacy of a candidate for President questioning his citizenship.

THAT IS POORLY WORDED JUDICIAL HOGWASH!

If the Judge just would have did his job to rule on the law suits merits and decide to continue or not continue it is quite likely BHO would have been certified that his mommy was an American citizen. So what if it was discovered BHO was born in Kenya rather than in Hawaii. Mommy was an American citizen.

Now the dipstick Judge may have placed the election into a Constitutional Crisis if the Supreme Court rules there are indeed a “standing” for an American citizen to ask for proof of documented citizenship.

Supremes asked to halt Tuesday's vote
Constitutional crisis feared over Obama's 'qualifications'

The U.S. Supreme Court is being asked to help the nation avoid a constitutional crisis by halting Tuesday's election until Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama documents his eligibility to run for the top office in the nation.

Democratic attorney Philip Berg had filed a lawsuit alleging Obama is ineligible to be president because of possible birth in Kenya, but as WND reported, a federal judge dismissed the complaint claiming Berg lacks standing to bring the action.
The 34-page memorandum that accompanied the court order from Judge R. Barclay Surrick concluded ordinary citizens can't sue to ensure that a presidential candidate actually meets the constitutional requirements of the office.

Instead, Surrick said Congress could determine "that citizens, voters, or party members should police the Constitution's eligibility requirements for the Presidency," but that it would take new laws to grant individual citizens that ability.

"Until that time," Surrick says, "voters do not have standing to bring the sort of challenge that Plaintiff attempts to bring."

Berg has maintained that uncertainty about how the U.S. does enforce the requirements of presidency may result in a constitutional crisis should an ineligible candidate win the office.

In a statement today, Berg said he is applying to Justice David Souter for an "Immediate Injunction to Stay the Presidential Election of November 4, 2008."

"I am hopeful that the U.S. Supreme Court will grant the injunction pending a review of this case to avoid a constitutional crisis by insisting that Obama produce certified documentation that he is or is not a "natural born" citizen and if he cannot produce documentation that Obama be removed from the ballot for president," Berg said.

"We must legally prevent Obama, the unqualified candidate, from taking the office of the presidency of the United States," Berg said.

Get the book that started it all – Jerome Corsi's "The Obama Nation," personally autographed for only $4.95 – an amazing $23 discount!

The issue of Obama's eligibility first got traction among Internet bloggers and later was heightened when several campaigns were launched to determine whether a "certificate of live birth" posted on the Internet by the Obama campaign was valid.

The issue gained more attention when Berg told radio talk show icon Michael Savage he had an admission from Obama's grandmather that she was at his birth – in Kenya.

"This is a question of who has standing to stand up for our Constitution," Berg told Jeff Schreiber of America's Right blog. "If I don't have standing, if you don't have standing, if your neighbor doesn't have standing to ask whether or not the likely next president of the United States – the most powerful man in the entire world – is eligible to be in that office in the first place, then who does?"

As WND reported, Berg filed suit in U.S. District Court in August, alleging Obama is not a natural-born citizen and is thus ineligible to serve as president of the United States. Berg demanded that Obama provide documentation to the court to verify that the candidate was born in Hawaii, as Obama contends, and not in Kenya, as Berg believes.
