The framers of the U.S. Constitution most certainly carried intent when the document was officially adopted in 1787. A bloody war fought for independence from the British ended just four years earlier. Consider this provision excerpted from Article II Section 1 concerning the presidency:
No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, 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.
Our founding fathers considered this citizenship provision most important so as to assure the President held no divided loyalties, most notably with the British. The constitution requires that a President be a "natural" born citizen, not a "naturalized" citizen. The residency requirement serves as a guarantee that those loyalties have not been tainted.
Now, 221 years later, many have taken issue with the possibility that Barack Obama may not be a natural born citizen. The only proof offered by the Democratic Party has been a Hawaiian Certification of Live Birth reprinted in June 2007. According to Hawaiian law in 1961, this document may have been obtained for children born outside the U.S. to parents desiring to register their children in Hawaii. Mr. Obama's Kenyan grandmother has insisted that she witnessed his birth in Mombasa. Whether born in Hawaii or not, Obama's mother was an American citizen, yet his father was Kenyan leading to the issue of divided loyalties. To further complicate matters, young Obama's parents divorced when he was two years old and his mother remarried several years later to an Indonesian national, Lolo Soetoro. Mr. Soetoro moved the family to Jakarta in 1967 where he registered Barack in school under the name Barry Soetoto listing his citizenship as Indonesian and his religion as Islam. Did Lolo Soetoro adopt Barack Obama as implied? If so, as a minor, Obama would have forfeited his American citizenship since neither country recognized dual citizenship during that time. Young Obama returned to Hawaii around 1971 to live with his grandparents and to attend school in Honolulu. After graduation from high school, Obama attended Occidental College in California for two years before transferring to Columbia University in New York. The summer between colleges, Obama travelled to Indonesia on an Indonesian passport to visit his mother and sister and from there to Pakistan and India. At that time, only Indonesian citizens could obtain Indonesian passports. This becomes another case for the possibility of divided loyalties. Another question to ask is did Barack Obama ever renounce his Indonesian citizenship or take any of the steps necessary to regain his United States citizenship? If he did, he would be a "naturalized" citizen, if not, an illegal alien. Additionally, when Obama applied to the Illinois Bar and also when confirmed to the U.S. Senate, he affirmed that he had never lived under any aliases. But we know that while attending school in Jakarta, he assumed the name Barry Soetoro and while attending school in Hawaii, he used Barry Obama.
There are now at least a half dozen court cases filed throughout the country attempting to ascertain the qualifications of Barack Obama to serve as President of the United States and all are requesting to acquire the vault or long form version of his official birth certificate which he has refused to provide. Many claim that the Certification of Live Birth posted on factcheck.org and fightthesmears.com is actually a forgery.
Another provision from the Constitution In Article II Section 4 is:
The President, Vice President and all Civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.
Would perjury in the case of lying on a bar application or forgery on a birth certificate constitute "high crimes" as defined by the constitution? Here again lies another possible disqualification of Barack Obama.

Though Obama has won the election, to date he has never proven that he is eligible under the US Constitution to be president. The issue is that he may not be a natural born citizen or he also may be a dual citizen. Either way this is not allowed under US law. There are currently approximately 17 law suits (2 in the US Supreme court) against Obama regarding his citizenship. They all have asked Obama to provide a "vault copy of his actual birth certificate". To this date he has either had cases dismissed on technicalities or has just plain refused to acknowledge them. The one thing he has yet to do is produce an actual birth certificate. There is consideral evidence that claims Obama was actually born in Kenya, Africa and not Hawaii. If this is so, then Obama could well take the oath of office under perjury and be a usurper.
Go to CUSC.ORG to discover the detail. In the mean time, it would be helpful if you would write to the united states Supreme Court or ask the Judges to hear these issues. This is vital to the future of America. Enclosed is a copy of the letter I sent to each of the nine Supreme court Judges. If you agree with this please pass this on to your friends.
§ CUSC.ORG is encouraging everyone to write to the Supreme Court judges to ask them to hear and investigate Obama’s eligibility to be POTUS. It has a link that gives information and suggestions as to how to draft the letter and where to send it. Since there is so little time left, it would be helpful for any one concerned to also write a letter.

LEO C. DONOFRIO v. NINA MITCHELL WELLS, SECRETARY OF STATE OF THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY - US Supreme Court Docket # 08A407 - continues to be subjected to misconduct by the US Supreme Court Clerk’s office, particularly by Mr. Danny Bickell, the Stay Clerk.
No. 08-570 Philip J. Berg, Petitioner v. Barack Obama, et al
October 31, 2008
United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit (08-4340)
Dear Honorable David H. Souter, Associate Justice,
You are facing one of the most unique and historical challenges to protect and uphold the Constitution of the United States. Not since the Civil War of 1861 has there been an issue of such vital importance to the future safety of United States of merica.
"America is facing potentially the gravest constitutional crisis in her history. Barack Obama must either stand up in a public forum and prove, with conclusive documentary evidence, that he is “a natural born Citizen” of the United States who has not renounced his American citizenship..."
Dr. Edwin Vieira, Jr., Ph.D., J.D.
Though Berg is asking you to rule on “standing”, it is vital that the court rule in favor of Mr. Berg on “standing” so the true heart of the matter be settled once and for all. There is but one issue and only one issue to determine. Is or is not Barack Hussein Mohamed Sotoero Obama eligible to be president under the Constitution as it is written?
Right now the whole world is focusing upon you, The Supreme Court of the United States, who are the guardians of the our Beloved Constitution and the protectors of American rules of law that separate us from chaos and tyranny. The world is wondering if you will have the courage to do what is right. It fears you will crumble under the pressures of public opinion, hollow “racist” accusations, fear of race riots threats, invisible intimidators and deal makers, or accusations of failure to respect the will of the people since Obama was elected by the people. (Everyone knows only 25% of the people voted for Obama. He was elected by a minority.)
The American public has been witnessing distortion of justice in the courts for years and suspects it will soon witness one more travesty of justice. The public’s silent fear is that Obama is not eligible to president but will be become president because The supreme court will fail to hold him accountable through a technicality like “standing”. Imagine a usurper who becomes the president of the United States is permitted to remain so because no one in America has “standing” to make the man accountable in the courts of law. It this becomes so, then what good is Article II in the Constitution?
It is believed the Supreme court will conspire with those who have vested interests in Obama to manipulate or convolute the articles of the Constitution in such a way it will legitimize a usurper to the Presidency. The whole world knows beyond a shadow of a doubt Obama is not a “natural born citizen.” If Obama slips through the net of these lawsuits and takes the oath of Presidency, the whole world will know the Constitution of the United States and its holy guardians have failed the American people. Our Constitutional Guardians will have rendered our precious constitution impotent and opened the gates to the most pernicious form of tyranny-- that which disguises itself as a benefactor to its victims. The Presidency of the United States is merely a commodity. The hour of your choice is crisis of our history.
This is not about Obama. This is about the hope and future of America. This case asks far more profound questions than whether or not Obama is a citizen. This is the crisis of Constitutional history. Though issues are different, the significance is equal in challenge to Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation. When Lincoln was preparing America for the idea slavery would be abolished in all states, seven states seceded from the union. The civil war was to save the union. I often think about how painful that must have been for Mr. Lincoln. I am in awe at his courage and vision. The Emancipation Proclamation changed history for the better. Obama’s case is about upholding, protecting, defending and saving the integrity of the Constitution. This is the case that will change America as we have known once, for all, and forever. This time, if the Supreme court fails to act on the side of the Constitution, it will be a change for the worse.
Time is of the essence.
May you do right for America.
Sincerely,
Cc: to all interested people
