A lawsuit filed on behalf of Ambassador Alan Keyes, a candidate for president on California 's general election ballot last year, challenging President Obama's eligibility to hold office under the requirements of the U.S. Constitution will be appealed, according to a lawyer working on the case.
WND reported earlier on the case being filed and then again when a judge dismissed it after concluding apparently anyone can run for president on the California ballot – whether or not they are eligible under the Constitution of the United States. Judge Michael P. Kenny said the secretary of state, who is responsible for elections laws in the state, has no "duty" to demand proof of eligibility from candidates. But now Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation has confirmed to WND the case will be appealed. "The judge's ruling in the case that only Congress and only on Jan. 6 of each year following a presidential election can object as to whether the nominee is eligible to serve as president of the United States is, in our opinion, completely wrong and eviscerates the [Constitutional] requirements for serving as president in the United States Constitution," Kreep said. "It has been publicly reported that Mr. Obama as far back as 2006 had a relationship to a law firm that was coincidentally researching ways to get around the Article 2 requirements of the U.S. Constitution for service as president," he said. "This appears to be an ongoing attempt by Mr. Obama to obtain the presidency while avoiding and evading all questions on his eligibility," he said. Kreep said the judge's ruling leaves open the option for any candidate, resident or not, alive or not, to run for the office of president. "California has a history of removing people from the ballot who are not qualified to run for president," Kreep said. "The most famous case being Eldridge Cleaver." "It is incumbent upon us here at the USJF to continue this fight to learn the truth," he said. In the court's decision to dismiss the case, the judge rejected concerns over the problems that could result if a president was found to be ineligible. \\ "If Mr. Obama is not constitutionally eligible to serve as president of the United States, then no act that he takes is, arguably, valid, the laws that he signs would not be valid, the protective orders that he signs would be null and void, and every act that he takes would be subject to legal challenge, both in courts of the United States of America, and in international courts, and that, therefore, it is important for the voters to know whether he, or any candidate for president in the future, is eligible to serve in that office," the case explained. http://worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=92971 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
