because th is s ta tu te d i rec ts that the CA SOS must p lace on the ba l lo t the names o f the

the Petition for Prerogative Writ of Mandate in the present case is virtually identical to the
Petition Keves v. Bowen , as the Petition herein is both timely and laches does not apply;
and therefore does not suffer from the same fatal defects of a case filed after the general
election as was done in Keves v. Bow en.

The ability to receive United States citizeiship is one oflhe core pillars in our greatdemocracy. It is outlined in thc Fourteenth Amendment ofthe U.S. Constitution and Section301(a) ofthe Immigration and NatioDality Act (INA) (8 U.S.C. Section 1401(:i)), thai a personwho is bom in the United States, subject to its jurisdiction, is a citizen ofihe United Suitesregardless of the race, ethnicity, or alienage of the parents. Additionally, according to the U.S.Constitution, only a natural bom citizen or a citizen of tlie United States of, at minimum, ihirty-five years ofage and fourteen years of United States residency, is eligible to run for the Presidentof the United States.
Ln regard to Senator Obaina, there is a federal lawsuit pending in Penasj'lvania addressinglliis matter. However,as a United States Senator, I cannot intervene in the legal piTxess andmust defer to the courts to make the appropriate decision about this case.

The word ing o f th is c lause caused much cont roversy a t the t ime i t was f i rs t used. WhenWi l l iam Henry Harr ison d ied in o f f ice , a debate arose over whether the V ice Pres ident wou ld
become Pres ident , o r i f he wou ld just inher i t the powers, thus becoming an Act ing Pres ident .Harr ison 's V ice Pres ident , John Tv ler , be l ieved tha t he had the r igh t to become Pres ident . However,many Senators argued tha t he on ly had the r igh t to assume the powers o f the pres idency long
enough to ca l l fo r a new e lect ion . Because the word ing o f the c lause is so vague, i t was imposs ib lefor e i ther s ide to prove i ts po in t . Ty ler ended up tak ing the Oath o f Of f ice and became Pres ident ,se t t ing a precedent tha t is fo l lowed to th is day. Ty ler 's p recedent made i t poss ib le fo r V icePres idents Mi l la rd F i l lmore , Andrew Johnson, Chester Ar thur , Theodore Rooseve l t , Ca lv in Coo l idge.Harry Truman, and Lyndon Johnson to ascend to the pres idency (Gera ld Ford took o f f ice a f te r thep a ss a ge o f t h e T w e n t y - f i f t h A me n d m e n t ) .
Ty ler 's p recedent estab l ished tha t i f the Pres ident 's o f f ice becomes vacant due to death ,res ignat ion or d isqua l i f ica t ion , the V ice Pres ident becomes Pres ident . The Congress may prov ide fo ra l ine of succession beyond the Vice President. The President ia l Succession Act establ ishes theorder as: the Speaker o f the House o f Representa t ives, the Pres ident p ro tempore o f the Senateand then the f i f teen Cab inet Secre tar ies in order o f tha t Department 's estab l ishment .
The Twen ty - f i f t h A me ndm en t exp l i c i t ly s ta tes tha t when the P res idency i s vacan t , then theVice Pres ident becomes Pres ident . Th is prov is ion app l ied a t the t ime Gera ld Ford succeeded to the
Pres idency. In case o f a V ice Pres ident ia l vaca ncy, the Am en dm ent perm i ts the Pres ident toappo in t , wi th the approva l o f bo th Houses o f Congress, a new Vice Pres ident . Fur thermore, theAmendment prov ides tha t the Pres ident , o r the V ice Pres ident and Cab inet , can dec lare thePres ident unab le to d ischarge h is dut ies, in wh ich case the V ice Pres ident becomes Act ingPres ident .

Maricopa County SherifTs Office
Joe Arpaio, Sheriff

O B A M A B I R T H C E R T I F I C A T E
Armio msmcts fomm
March 1,2012
(Phoenix, AZ) Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio in a press conference today toldreporters, "A six month long investigation conducted by my cold case posse has lead
me to believe there is probable cause to believe that President Barack Obama's long-
form birth certificate released by the White House on April 27, 2011, is a computer-
generated forgery. I do not believe that it is a scan of an original 1961 paper
document, as represented by the White House when the long-formbirth certificate
was made public."
This is the principle preliminary fmding of a six-month on-going Sheriffs Cold Case
Posse law enforcement investigation into the authenticity of Obama's birth certificateand his eligibility to be president.
Investigators advised Sheriff Arpaio that the forgers committed two crimes: first, in
creating a fraudulent document which the White House characterized, knowingly or
unknowingly, as an officially produced govemmental birth record; and second, in
fraudulently presenting that document to the residents of Maricopa County and to the
American public at large as "proof positive" of President Obama's authentic 1961
Hawaii long-formbirth certificate.
During the six-month-long investigation and after having developed probable cause tobelieve the long-formbirth certificate is a computer-generated forgery, investigators
began examining other evidence of President Obama's life history including:.

• President Obama's Selective Service card is most likely also a forgery, revealed
by an examination of the postal date stamp on the document;
• To quell the popular idea that Obama was actually bom outside the United
States, we examined the Records of Immigration and Naturalization Service
cards routinely filled out by airplane passengers arriving on intemational flights
that originated outside the United States in the month of August 1961. Those
records are housed at the National Archives in Washington, D.C. Interestingly,
records from the days surrounding Obama's birth, August 1, 1961 to August 7,
1961 are missing. This is the only week in 1961 were these immigration cards
cannot be found.
When and Why SherifTs investisators became involved
In August 2011, 250 members of the Surprise Arizona Tea Party, residents of
Maricopa County, presented a signed petition asking Sheriff Arpaio to undertake this
investigation.
The Tea Party members petitioned under the premise that i f a forged birth certificate
was utilized to obtain a position for Barack Obama on the 2012 Arizona presidential
ballot, their rights as Maricopa County voters could be compromised.
Sheriff Arpaio agreed to accept the investigation and assigned it to his "Cold Case
Posse" at no expense to the tax payers for a thorough examination. The Sheriffs Cold
Case Posse, consisting of former law enforcement officers and lawyers with law
enforcement experienced, spoke to dozens of witness and examined hundreds of
documents, and took numerous swom statements from witnesses around the world.

Suspecting that the long forni birth certificate is a computer generated forgery, they
now say they have identified persons of interest in the case.
Sheriffs Investigator Mike Zullo says, "We have also determined during the course ofour investigation that the Hawaii Department of Health engaged in what we believe is
a systematic effort to hide any original 1961 birth records that they may have in their
possession."
Sheriff Arpaio added, "A continuing investigation is needed to not only understand
more about the creation ofthe alleged birth certificate forgery, but also to detemiine
who, i f anyone, in the White House or the state of Hawaii may have authorized it."
The Matter of the Selective Service Resistration Card
Sheriffs Investigators were then led to investigate President's Obama selective
service registration card allegedly filled out in Hawaii in 1980.
Investigators compared Obama's card to others filled out in same year and to at least
two cards filled out in the same local.
The year stamp that is used on selective sei'vice registration cards should include all
four digits of the year, for example 1980, the year Obama may have registered with
selective service. However, investigators note that Obama's registration card is highlyunusual having a year stamp including only two digits, "80" which appears to be an
inverted number. Additionally, those numbers are offset by a significant amount
suggesting that the stamp was somehow manually manipulated.
Investisators use video presentations to back up the evidence
The Cold Case Posse produced six technical videos to demonstrate why the Obama
long-form birth certificate is suspected to be a computer-generated forgery. The
videos were designed to display the testing used by the investigators to examine

various claims made when the April 27 document was posted on the White House
website for public dissemination. The videos consisted of step-by-step computer
demonstrations using a control document.
They also illustrate point-by-point the investigators conclusion that the features and
anomalies observed on the Obama long-form birth certificatewere inconsistent with
features produced when a paper document is scanned, even i f the scan ofthe paper
document had been enhanced by Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and optimized.
Additionally, the videos demonstrated that the Hawaii Department of Health
Registrar's name stamp and the Registrar's date stamp were computer-generated
images imported from an unknown source into an electronic document, as opposed to
actual rubber stamp imprints inked by hand or machine onto a paper document.
"The fact that we were able to cast reasonable suspicion on the authenticity of the
Registrar stamps is especially disturbing, since these stamp imprints are designed to
provide govemment authentication to the document itself," Zullo said." I f the
Registrar stamps are forgeries, then the document itself is a forgery."
"As I said at the beginning of the investigation," Arpaio said, "the President can easily
put all of this to rest. All he has to do is demand the Hawaii Department of Health
release to the American public and to a panel of certified court-authorized forensic
examiners all original 1961 paper, microfilm, and computer birth records the HawaiiDepartment of Health has."
Arpaio further stressed the Hawaii Department of Health needs to provide, as part of
the full disclosure, evidence regarding the chain of custody of all Obama birth records,
including paper, microfilm, and electronic records, in order to eliminate the possibility
that a forger or forgers may have tampered with the birth records.
"Absent the authentic Hawaii Department of Health 1961 birth records for Barack
Obama, there is no other credible proof supporting the idea or belief that this President
was bom in Hawaii, or in the United States for that matter, as he and the White House
have consistently asserted," Arpaio said.

Conclusive remarks
Sheriff Arpaio stresses that these are preliminary findings and concluded by
suggesfing a Congressional investigation might be warranted. Arpaio asked that any
other law enforcement agency with information referencing this investigafion beforwarded to his office.
" I want to make this perfectlyclear. I am not accusing the sitting President of the
United States of committing a crime. But there remain a lot of questions which beg for
answers and we intend to move forward with this investigafion in pursuit of those
answers, hopefully with the cooperafion of all parties involved," Arpaio said.

ig ur e 2: A pr intou t was given to AP which they scanned
I, Mara Zebest, am prep aring this re port a t the request of
Maricopa County Sheriff's Office in support of the Cold Case Pos
investigation.
The PDF birth cert i f icate doc um en t released by the White Hous
(shown in Figure 1) is a completely manufactured and fabricate
com pute r gene rated image. The same source f i le was used toprint a copy hande d to the AP (shown in Fig ure 2), in which the
AP scanned in the version handed to them . A th i rd photog raph
version (Figure 3) was touted by Savannah Guthrie who claime
to have held and felt the seal on the doc um ent, b ut the o riginal
Internet posted images have been scrubbed.
The Wh ite House wants us to bel ieve the PDF doc um ent started
out in printed form on securi ty paper retrieved from Hawaii—b
this is not possible. All thre e versions m anifest itself as a pr inted
docum ent only when the PRINT but to n is pressed f rom wi th in
the or ig inal manufactured docu men t fi le . This wo uld account
for the t ransformat ion o f a document contain ing di f ferent color
backgrounds, and the abi l i ty to print with or without safety pap
pattern (by turn ing a layer on or off) .
There is no doubt in my mind that this computer generated ima
never started out as a paper source document and was never
scanned in as described by the White House— it was digitally
created and manufactured.
The bulk of this report wi l l explain the evidence to support this,
which wi l l inc lude the fo l lowing po ints:
3 Inconsistencies wi th in text characters: All anti-aliased tex t (
a color scan), or al l bi tma ppe d text ( in a black & white scan)
not a mixture of bo th wh ich is impossible in a legit imate
document. Image noise should also be consistent througho
3 Chroma tic aberration absent: A color scanned docum entwo uld display chromatic abe rration.This is physics and occu
in all color scans but is absent in Obama's PDF document.
3 Layers: A nor ma l scan is a flat fi le and does not contain m ult

clipping mask layer.

gu re 10 : Bi tmap edges are jagged v smo oth ant i-a liased edge
Let's briefly examine three terms related to graphic programs:
Noise, Anti-aliasing, and Bitmap
N o i s e V N o N o i s e
Scanned images wi l l have a consistent noise. Any inconsistencie
in noise wou ld be a strong tel l tale sign of tam pe ring . Whe n lookat an image at a norma l zoom level (100%) colors m ay appear as
one color of any part icular area of an image. Zoom ing in closer
the area, consistent no ise is easi ly app arent in the sl ight variat io
of color from neighboring pixels that make up each color (show
in F igure 8) . This is the natural noise level for this image . Note th
i t is consistent thro ug ho ut th e im age; variat ions can be seen for
neig hbo ring pixels of each color area in the original image.
In contrast. Figure 8 also shows an exa mple of no noise as a res
of digi tal ma nipula t ion. Two pixels were sampled to ma tch color
within the image. Using a paint brush tool in Adobe Photoshop
a streak of each sam pled color is drawn across the image area.
Clearly the lack of noise in the digital brush strokes is inconsistewi th natural no ise o f the image. Components added d ig i ta lly to
image do nof conro/n noise. Al l neighbo ring pixels for the sam p
paint strokes in Figure 8 are sol id in color with no variat ion—no
even thes//g/ i tesf of variat ions. In order to avoid dete ct ion wh en
edit ing an image, an experienced professional wi l l need to mim
the no ise to m atch the docume nt . One com mo n m ethod used i

This was no t do ne in the Obam a PDF f ile. I f this was a legi t im ate

in digi tal images by averaging the colors oft h e pixels at the
boundary edges.
Also notice the transit ion of pixel colors that occur in Fig ure 8

transit ion (averaging of color pixels) makes the l ines appear

Figure are al l al iased or bi tm ap pe d, and the 1 is anti-a l ias ed as

A color scan wo uld produc e anti-aliased results universally. Whi
i t is possible to use a bi tm ap sett ing w he n sca nning, the results
wo uld create a b lack and wh i te ima ge— no co lor present. A b i tm

bi tm ap s ett ing was used in a scan, then there sh ouldn 't be a co
background, a long wi th v arying co lors in the text outside the
grayscale range? Al l text color values have green tone values —black or grayscale.

What ischrom atic aberration? This occurs whe n d ifferent
wavelengths of l ight are refracted differently as it goes through
a lens or pr ism dur in g the scanning process. Light is refracted
differently as the scanner encoun ters one side of a contrast ing
color (part icularly with text) compared to theopposi te s ide of t
contrasting color.
In simpler terms. Figure 11 is an example of C hromo t / c / l be r ro
in which thescanner produced w arm red-ish color values at
the bo t tom andleft edges ofthe text, and similarly the scanner
produced cool blue-ish color values around the top and r ight
edges of text transit ions. Chrom atic Aberra tion can beseen at a
high zoom level in color scans such as theAP version of Obama'
BC—but this chromatic aberration isNOT present in Obama's PD
released by the White House.
Because theAP version displays chromatic aberra tion, this is an
indicator that theAP did receive a printe d hard copy o ft h e BC f
the Wh ite House and scanned whateve r was presented to t hem
did not do anything w rong . They s imply scanned what was han
to them.
It 's important to note that theAP version does NOT have a secu
safety paper background pattern, but rather a baby blue c olore
background.This sudden difference in background color/pat te
is anothe r inconsistency that cou ld NOT happen if the docume
was simply scanned wi th nofur ther manipulat ion andreleased
the Whi te House— but th is inconsistency would on ly happen if
White House documen t isa man ufacture d f ile.

Figure 13displays text color inconsistencies in dates, along w it

it may be argued that themisspel l ing ismerely a funct ion of th

ig u re 1 7: AP layers and l inks after optim ization is appl ied
Attem pts to suggest o ptim izatio n explains the presence of layers
the Obama PDF is simply not true. While i t is true tha t optim izati
can cause layers, it is not true that optimization explains the laye
displaye d in Obam a's PDF.The layers in Obam a's PDF clearly disp
a decision-making process that would be present with image
manipu la t ion .
A simple defin i t ion for op tim iza tio n is a process that appl ies
suitable compression settings to reduce file size.
As state d— optim ization can cause layers— but in the case
of op timiz ation ; the process of how the docum ent is layered
is completely computer-generated based on p rogram ming
algori thms.Thus, there are certain predictable patterns.
Before examining the Figures, it mig ht help to explain th at there
two types of graphic program s: ffasfer-basedand Vector-ba sed.
Raster-based is a fancy w or d for p;xe/-bosec/which is the stre ngt h
of a program like Adobe Photoshop. Whereas Adobe Illustrator
is a vector-based pro gram —m ean ing i t relies on mathe matical
interpretations. I l lustrator operates differently than Photoshop inthat lines or shapes drawn in Illustrator are referred to as p a t h s —
mathe matical e quations tha t define the l ine, l ine segment, or sh
With this in min d, when a pixel-based image is ope ned in I l lustra
a path is generated to define the outer boundary border of that
object.Th is is why you w il l see sub-layers in the screen capture
Figures with a Path t i t le that corresponds to th e visible blue (def
color) rectangle-shaped border edges of an object ( in the display
image).
The AP file version of Obama's PDF in Figu re 15 will serve t o
represent a scanned document and when opened in I l lustrator,
there is only on e l ink, and one layer; the layer breaks dow n to
display the fol lo win g sub-layers:3 A boundary edge Path—the blue border surrounding the im
3 And the flattened Image
Figu re 16 shows a crucial di fference in the nu mbe r of layers
displayed in Obama's PDF file (compared to the AP file): Obama's
PDF has nine links and nine sub -layers (NOTE: The paths are activ
displayed in the image). In addit ion to the nine sub-layer objects
a cl ippin g pa th is at the top of th e sub-layer l ist. The cl ipping pat
groups al l the remaining sub-layers below. Note the location oft
cl ipping path in the image, which wil l be explained further on th
next page. It's presence with in th e f i le and a ppl ied in a mann er t
hide portions of the image also reflects image manipulation.
Anoth er crucial di fference in the num ber o f layers occurs wh en
optim ization is appl ied to the AP scanned image in Figu re 17 .
There is an unreasonable am oun t of layers generated . Note desp
resizing the Links and Layers panels, ther e is stil l a scroW box wh i
scrol ls the leng th of the em pty sc rol l in g bar area (to offer a sens
how many layers extend beyond the current view).
Examine how th e layers divide the im age in to pieces. It is analog
to taking a scissor and cut t ing th e image into rand om rectangles
Final ly, notice that Figu re 17 cal ls out the top layer as a bitmap la
(which means i t contains one color value only), wh i le al l rem aini
layers are color layers (contains m ult iple color values). One bitm a
layer and mult ip le color layers are typical optim izatio n behavior;
but t he reverse is true in Obama's PDF in whic h i t contains mu lt ip
bitmap layers and only one color layer.

can be used as a cl ipping path — in this case the rectangle path
shape seen in Figu re 18 defines an area that acts like a wind ow
Any thing with in the shape borde r is visible, and any thing th at f
outside i ts boun dary is not visible. A benefi t de rived from using
cl ipping mask is it al lows the m ask to be reposit ion at any t ime
show or h ide di fferent parts of th e a rtwork. A c l ipping mask tha

to ma nipulated a docum ent. I f a cl ipping mask is genera ted in a
optimized f i le—it wi l l never hide information.
Figure 18 displays the clipping mask as the only visible path
when the Obama PDF is first opened— all other path objects
behave as a group a ttached to the clipping path.To move and s
these objects separately—the clipping mask group needs to be
released—or ungrouped.

Tom Harrison, a software d esigner, publ ished a report th at
examines the top two sub-layer objects. Without a doubt, the
implications of these two sub-layers are clear indications of ima
manipulation. This cannot happen in a normal document. At f i r
glance these layers appear to be em pt y— bu t this is not th e cas
These layers contain odd random white pixel information, whi le
the pixels under the white dots show no disturbance of safety
paper pat tern (on the bo t tom layer). This is simply n ot p ossible
normal scan and can only happen in image manipulation.
Tom Harrison offers the fol low ing a nalogy in his report:Try to h
someon e take a picture of a person holding a footbal l h idd en
beh ind the ir back, not visible to the camera. Wil l you ever be ab
to extract the person from the photograph and sti l l see the foo
revealed? Of course not. However, ifa picture is taken of a footb
and a separate picture is taken o ft h e person, layers can be used
to" hid e" th e pic ture of the footbal l behind the person (us ing a
progra m l ike Photoshop ). By placing the picture o f a person on
layer " in f ront of"— or on top — of the layer contain ing the footbin the docu me nt— the foo tbal l would not be v isib le to the casu
viewer unless the layer of the person is turned off.
Using the foo tbal l analogy, look closely at Figu re 20— a close-u
view to reveal numerous w hite pixels in the to p layer object.
Addit iona l ly, these pixels are bitm app ed rather than displaying
sof t b lending qua l i ty to t ransit ion into the background p at tern
another indication that the white pixels are not a normal part o
the background pat tern.
Figure 21 shows the white dot layer turned off to expose the
undisturbed safety pattern in the background (under the white
pixel dots).To paraphrase Mr. Harrison, no scanner in the wo rld
has x-ray vision that can detect unin terru pted safety paper pattunder another object (such as the ran dom whi te dots) .

The main p urpose and s trength o f layers is they al low parts
of an image to be isolated to make i t easy to re posit ione d, or
adjust visibi l i ty (on or off) independently of surrounding image
layered parts—thus layers are a powerful image manipulat ion
t oo l . I t makes sense to have a date and a cert i f icat ion stam p o nseparate layers—to mov e, rotate, or reposit ion for the purpose
of manipu la t ion and a l tera t ion. F igures 22 -2 4 dem onstra te ho

wha t happens when opt im izat ion is appl ied. Af ter the o pt imiza

Most of the black text extracts onto one bi tmap layer at the top

the tex t does not separate cleanly onto one layer. Remnants of

the top text layer contains a large port ion of al l document text

The white halo effect presents two common questions; why is
there a white halo, and wh at caused i t? Before answering the
forme r qu estion, let 's address the latter.
The wh ite halo could simply be a fun ction of a selection created
aroun d al l the text— before f il ling the backg round layer wit h a
green safety pattern.
The green safety pattern cou ld have easi ly been a ppl ied to the
backg round layer i /v/fhoutany selection —thu s a sol id patte rn
wou ld have covered the ent i re background layer— without a wh
halo. But for some reason, a wh ite halo effect was gene rate d—
ei ther through an active select ion wh en creat ing the backg roun
or throu gh an enhanc eme nt process, or a combinat ion o f bo th .
As might be expected, the creation ofa background using a tex
selection is easily dem onstra ted w ith step-by-step Figures.
Figure 27 shows the demonstration f i le set-up. The stamp text
from the Obam a PDF fi le was copied (from Il lustrator) and paste
into a new Photosho p f i le o n a layer that is above a sol id wh ite
backg round layer. Note the t wo layers in the Layers panel: Stam
Text layer and the Background layer (currently f i lled w ith w hite)
When work ing in a graphic program, i fyo u wan t to apply any
changes to an image, you have a choice to use a selection for t h
target area, or to m ake changes wit ho ut a selection. If there is n
select ion, then any changes can be appl ied to the entire image
wit ho ut any restrictions. Ifa selection is created, the changes ar
l imited to the selection area only. Analogous to se lecting text in
a Word program to apply a change, such as bold form att ing; the
text is fi rst selected, and the bold for ma tting is the n appl ied to
selection of7/y.
In this example, a selection wil l be created a round the text as th
next step shown in Figure 28. Any obje ct separated on a layer
can easi ly be used to create a selection of tha t ob ject. Simply ho
do wn th e Ctrl key and click on the layer thu mb na il— in this cas
click on the Stamp Text layer. A selection tha t resembles ma rchi
ants appears around th e text.The next step is to expan d th e
selection to include a l i t tle extra space surrou nding the text. Th
can be accompl ished f rom the Select menu , us ing M od i fy , and
then choosing the Expand option (also seen in Figure 28).
The Expand Selection dialog box displays in Figure 29 which allo
a user to specify how many pixels to expand the selection. Sinc
the idea is to surround the text by a small area, the amo unt ente
in this example will be 2pixels.
The expanded selection in Figure 30 currently surrounds the
text. However, the curre nt selection area needs to remain wh ite
since the ult imate g oal is to app ly a pattern f il l to the surro und i
background area—not the surrounding fexf area. Therefore, the
selection needs to be reversed—also kn ow n as inve rse— to ens
the pa ttern wil l f i ll everyth ing on the backg round layer except t
text area.
Go to the Select menu show n in Figure 30 . The Inverse opt ion
chosen. The selection is now ready to f i ll w ith a color, or a patte
or even another scanned image (such as a scan of security safet
paper). Everything b ut the te xt area is now selected. For purpos
ofthis demonstration, the next step wil l define a safety paper
pattern an d f i ll the back ground layer using the current activeselect ion.

In a program such as Photoshop, a select ion can be f il led w ith a
sol id color o f choice, an image, or a pattern can also be defined a
f il l op t ion . I t shou ld be no ted tha t a ful l sheet of safety paper co u
have been scanned and used wi thou t go ing thro ugh steps to de
it as a pat tern — but a pattern can be easily defined fro m an exist i
image as an al ternative m etho d. Most l ikely, there was access to
a sample of safety paper wh en creating the Obama PDF. I t's notnecessary to reinvent the w hee l— the cu rrent Obama PDF f ile wi l
used as the source pattern for the purpose of this demonstrat ion
The Obama PDF is tem porar i ly ope ned in Figure 3 1 and a square
select ion is made to isolate a por t ion o ft h e p attern tha t wi l l t/7e
easi ly— which means that wh en the selected area is f il led repe at
next to each other, the pattern continues seamlessly—without a
noticeable disruptions in the pattern. With the select ion act ive, t
Def in e Pat te rn opt ion is se lected f rom the Edi t me nu.The Obam
PDF f i le is closed and no long er ne eded.
Back to the demo nstra t ion f i le show n in Figu re 32; w ith th e
Background selected as the ac t ive layer, the Fi l l op t ion is chosen
f rom the Ed i t menu .In the Fi ll dialog box, the Pa tte rn o ptio n fro m the Content l ist is

The safety paper pattern defined earlier in Figure 31 is also chosen

The results in Figu re 35 show a sl ight wh ite halo outside th e text
In Figure 3 6— the Stamp Text layer's visibi l i ty is turn ed o ff , and t
ma rching ants are deselected (C tr l+D).Th e wh ite halo effect was
easily man ufacture d in less than a minute, in less t ime tha n i t too
read the exp lanat ion.
In summation, the securi ty paper background layer was added
as the last step to create the i l lusion of an imag e in wh ich text
was imp rinted on securi ty paper. However, the text had in fact
been placed and arranged on a sol id white ba ckgrou nd.This last
appl icat ion gives a created image th e false appearance of being

The previous exercise demonstrated how the white halo could b

The exercise was presented as a possible solut ion to the que stio
How did the white halo get into the document? But actual ly, the o
quest ion that mat ters is: wh y is the whi te h a lo the re a t a l l? Any
off icial document obtained by legi t imate procedures and scann

As previously stated, every anoma ly can be easi ly explained as a

meant by a mas ter fi le? A mas ter fi le is a fi le in wh ich a ll the obje

inform ation than seen in the Obam a PDF sub-layers).
For exam ple, in the O bama PDF, the bottom layer contains the
background pat tern wi th some text e lements merged o nto
tha t layer. In the m aster fi le ve rsion , the te xt sti l l rem ains on a
separate layer—NOT m erged w ith th e bac kgrou nd layer. I t is
highly proba ble that this master f i le also contains the sh ort form
cert i f icate layers {which w ou ld exp lain the problem s seen in the

MR. CARNEY: Good morning, everybody. You can read the paperwork we just handed out in a minute. Let me
just get started. Thanl< you for coming this morning. I have with me today Dan Pteiffer, the President's Director of
Communications, as well asBob Bauer, the President's White House Counsel, who will have a few things tosay
about the documents we handed toyou today. And then we'll take your questions. I remind you this isoff camera
and only pen and pad, not for audio. And I give you Dan Pfeiffer.
MR. PFEIFFER: Thanks, Jay. What you have infront ofyou now is apacket of papers that includes the
President's long-form birth certificate from the state of Hawaii, the original birth certificate that the President
requested and we posted online in 2008, and then the correspondence between the President's counsel and the
Hawaii State Department of Health that led to the release ofthose documents.
If you would just give me aminute to -- indulge me a second to walk through a liltle of the history here, since all
of you weren't around in 2008 when we originally released the President's birth certificate, I will do that. And then
Bob Bauer will walk through the timeline ofhow we acquired these documents.
In 2008, inresponse tomedia inquiries, the President's campaign requested his birth certificate from the state of

Hawaii. We received that document; weposted it on the website. That document was then inspected by
independent fact checkers, who came to the campaign headquarters and inspected the document -- independent
fact checkers did, and declared that itwas proof positive that the President was born inHawaii.
A look back at the U.S. response tothe devastating
earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan inMarch of
2011.
To be clear, thedocument wepresented on the President's website in2008 ishis birlh certificate. It is thepiece
of paper that every Hawaiian receives when they contact the state to request abirth ceriificate. It is thebirth
certificate Ihey take to the Department of Motor Vehicles to get their driver's license and that they take to the federal
government to get their passport. It is the legally recognized document.
That essentially -- for those of you who followed the campaign closely know that solved the issue. We didn't
spend any time talking about this after that. There may have been some very fringe discussion out there, but as a
campaign issue itwas settled and itwa s --

Weekly Address: Investing in a Clean
Energy Future
Speaking from a factory inVirginia, President
Obama talks about how companies arecreating
more jobs in the United States, making better
products than ever before, and how many are
developing new technologies that are reducing our
dependence on foreign oil and saving families
money at the pump.
MR. PFEIFFER: Yes. VIEW ALL RELATED B LOG POSTS
Q Because it is not here and that's been an issue.
MR. PFEIFFER: We posted both sides and when itwas looked at it was looked at by -- the fact checkers came
to headquarters and actually examined the document we had.
That settled the issue. In recent w eeks, the issue has risen again assome folks have begun raising aquestion
about the original -- about the long-form birth certificate you nowhave in front of you. And Bob will explain why -
the extraordinary steps we had lo take to receive that and the legal restraints that are inplace there.
But it became an issue again. And itwent to - essentially the discussion transcended from the nether regions of
the Internet into mainstream political debate in this country. It became something that when both Republicans and
Democrats were talking to the media they were asked about. It was aconstant discussion onmainstream news
organizations. And the President believed that itwas becoming adistraction from the major issues we're having in
this country.

And he was particularly struck bythe fact that right afler the Republicans released their budget framework and
the Presidenl released his, wewere prepared tohave avery important, very vigorous debate in this country about
the future of the country, the direction we're going totake, how we're doing todeal with very important issues like
education. Medicare, how we're going todeal with taxes in this country. And that should - that's the debate we
should behaving yet.
8/2/2019 Barnett ExParte Mar15_12
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/barnett-exparte-mar1512 57/186
Whal was really dominating a lot of discussion was this fake controversy, essentially, a sideshow, that was
distracting from this real issue. And an example of that would be when major Democrats and Republicans went o nto
mainstream news organizations to lalk about their budget plans - including the President - they were asked about
this. They were asked about what they thought about the controversy. They were asked if they believed the
President was born in the United States. And it was really a distraction .
That really struck the President, led him to ask his counsel to look into whether we could ask the state of Hawaii
lo release the long-form certificate, which is nol something they generally do. And he did that despite the fact that it
probably was not in his long-term - it would have been in his ~ probably in his long-term political interests to allow
this birther debate to dominate discussion in the Republican Party for months to come. But he thought even though
it might have been good politics, he thought it was bad for the country. And so he asked counsel to look into this.
And now I'll have Bob explain that, and then we'll take your questions.
MR. CARNEY: I just want to - sorry, I meant to mention at the top, as some of you may have seen, the
President will be coming to the briefing room at 9:45 a.m., making a brief statement aboul this - not taking
questions, but just wanted to let you know.
MR. PFEIFFER : And he will use this as an opportunity to make a larger point aboul what this debate says about
our politics.
Go ahead. Bob.
MR. BAUER : Early last week the decision wa s made to review the legal basis for seeking a waiver from the
longstanding prohibition in the state Department of Health on releasing the long-form birth certificate. And so we
undertook a legal analysis and determined a waiver request could be made that we had the grounds upon which to
make that request.
And by Thursday of last week, I spoke to private counsel to the President and asked her to contact the State
Department of Health and to have a conversation about any requirements, further requirements, that they thought
we had to satisfy to lodge that waiver request. She had that conversation with the state Department of Health on
Thursday ~ counsel in question is Judy Corley at the law firm of Perkins Coie, and you have a copy of the letter she
subsequently sent to the department with the President's written request.
The department outlined the requirements for the President to make this request. He signed a letter making that
request on Friday afternoon upon returning from the West Coast. And private counsel forwarded his written request
~ writte n, signed request - along with a letter from counsel, to the state Department of Health on Friday.
8/2/2019 Barnett ExParte Mar15_12
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/barnett-exparte-mar1512 58/186
The department, as I understood it, afler reviewing the law and reviewing the grounds asserted in the request,
came to the conclusion that a waiver c ould be appropriately granted. We were advised that the long-form birth
certificale could be copied and made available to us as early as Monday, April 25th - the day before yesterday. And
we made arrangements for counsel to travel to Honolulu to pick it up and it was returned to the White House
yesterday afternoon.
Let me emphasize again, there is a specific statute that governs access to and inspection of vital records in the
state of Hawaii. The b irth certificate that we posted online is, in fact, and always has been, and remains, the legal
birth certificate of the President that would be used for all legal purposes that any resident of Hawaii would want to
use a birth certificate for.
However, there is legal authority in the department to make exceptions to the general policy on not releasing thelong-form birth certificate. The policy in question, by the way, on non-release has been in effect since the
mid-1980s, I understan d. So while I cannot tell you what the entire history of exceptions has been, it is a limited
one. This is one of very few that I understand have been granted for the reasons set out in private counsel's letter.
MR. PFEIFFER: We ll be happy to take some questions.
Q I guess I just want to make sure that we're clear on this. Even though this one says "certificate of live birth"
on here, this is different than the other certificate of live birth that we've seen?
MR. PFEIFFER : Yes. The secon d page there is the one that was posted on the Internet.
0 Okay.
MR. PFEIFF ER: And that is a copy of the one that has been kept at the Hawaii Department of Health.
Q Okay. And this is the one that would be referred to - that people have been asking for that is the birth
certificate?
MR. PFEIFFE R: They a re both ~ the second one is the birth certificate. The one on the top is whal is referred
to as the long-form birth certificate. As you can see - and Bob can walk you through it ~ it contains some additional
informalion that is not on the second page, which was the birth certificate which was released during the campaign.
If you could just explain the difference.
8/2/2019 Barnett ExParte Mar15_12
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/barnett-exparte-mar1512 59/186
MR. BAUER: There's a difference between a certificate and a certification. The certification is simply a
verification of certain information that's in the original birth certificate. The birth certificate, as you can see, has
signatures at the bottom from the attending physician, the local registrar, who essentially oversees the maintenance
of the records. It contains some add itional information also - that is to say, the original birth certificate - it contains
some additional information like the ages of the parents, birthplaces, residence, street address, the name of the
hospital.
The core information that's required for legal purposes and that is put into the actual certification that's a
computer-generated document, which we posted in 2008, that information is abstracted, if you will, from the original
birth certificate, put into the computerized short-form certification, and made available to Hawaiian residents at their
request.
So the long form, which is a certificate, has more information, but the short form has the information that's legally
sufficient for all the relevant purposes.
Q This first one has never been released publicly, correct?
MR. BAUER: That's co rrect. It is in a bound volume in the records at the state Department of Health in Hawaii.
Q Bob, can you explain why President Obama let this drag on for four years? Was it Donald Trump that
prompted you to issue this?
MR. BAUER: I'l l let Da n -
MR. PFEIFFER: Sure.
Q I know you expected that questio n, right? (Laughter.)
MR. PFEIFFER: He even said you would be the one who would ask it. (Laughter.)
I don't think this dragged on for four years because this was a resolved ~ for those of you who remember the
campaign, this issue was resolved in 2008. And it has not been an issue, none of you have asked about it, called
about it, reported on it until the last few weeks.
And as I said earlier, it probably would have been - a lot of the pundits out there have ta lked about the fact that
this whole birther debate has been really bad for the Republican Party and would probably be good for the
President politically. But despite that, the President, as I said, was struck by how this was crowding out the debate.
8/2/2019 Barnett ExParte Mar15_12
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/barnett-exparte-mar1512 60/186
particularly around the budget, on important issues, and was an example of the sort of sideshows that our politics
focuses on instead of the real challenges that we have to confront as a country.
And so that's why he made this decision now, because it became an issue that transcended sort of this ~ it
essentially was something that was talked about, as I said, from the nether regions of the Internet onto mainstream
network news casts. In fact. Jay has been asked about this just yesterday in this room.
Q So I guess the implication is that you did get political advantage by having not released this until today, over
the course of the last four years?
MR. PFEIFFER: There has been - no one that I can recall actually asked us to - we were asked lo release the
President's birth ceriificate in 2008. We did that. And then no one - it never ~ up until a few weeks ago, there wasnever an issue about that that wasn't the birth certificate from any credible individual or media outlet. And it hasn't
been unlil - I mean. Jay was asked about this yesterday -
0 When you say that, you mean certification - y ou released the certification?
MR. PFEIFFE R: When any Hawaiian wants - requests their birth certificate because they want to get a driver's
license, they want to get a passport, they do exactly what the President did in 2008. And that's what that is. And we
released that. And that's what any Haw aiian would do to release their birth certificate. And that was good enough
for everyone until very recently this became a question aga in. And so the President made this decision. He'll talk to
you more about his thinking on that.
Q And this is going to sound - I mean, you can just anticipate what people are going to - remain
unconv inced. They're going to say that this is just a photocopy of a piece of paper, you could have typed an ything
in there. Will the actual certificate be on display or viewable at any - (laughter.)
Q Will the President be holding it?
MR. PFEIFFER: He will not, and I will not leave it here for him to do so. But it will - the State Department of
Health in Hawaii will obviously attest that that is a - what they have on file. As Bob said, it's in a book in Hawaii.
MR. BAUER : And you'll see the letter from the director of the Health Department that states that she oversaw
the copy and is attesting to -
Q But do you understand that this could quiet the conspiracy theorists?
8/2/2019 Barnett ExParte Mar15_12
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/barnett-exparte-mar1512 61/186
MR. PFE IFFER: There will always be some selection of people who will believe something, and that's not the
issue. The issue is that this is not a discussion that is just happening among con spiracy theorists . It's happening
here in this room; it's happening on all of the network s. And it's something that, as I said, every major political figure
of both parties who's actually ou l trying to talk about real issues is asked about this by the media. And so the
President decided to release this. And I'll leave it to others to decide whelher there 's still - there will be some who
still have a different - have a conspiracy about this.
Q You've got two certified copies, according to this study. You have these physical -
MR. PFEIFFER: Yes. I showed you one. Just one.
0 You showed us a photocopy of one.
MR. PFEIFFER: N o, I showed you -
0 Does that have a stamp?
MR. PFE IFFER: It has a seal on it.
0 Why does this rise to the level of a presidential statement?
MR. PFEIFFE R: The President ~ this in itself - when you hear the President I think you'll understand the point
he's making. That will be in not too long.
0 Did the President change his own mind about this? In other words, was he advocating during the campaign
let's just put it out there and get it over with, or was this an internal shift in thinking based ~ in other words, was it
the President who steadfastly during the campaign said this is ridiculous, I don't want to give this any more ground,
and has now changed his mind? Or is this the -
MR. PFEIFFE R: Let's be very clear. You were there for the campaign. There was never a question about the
original birth certificate during the campaign. It was a settled issue. I was there for the original decision to release
the birth certificate. I was there when we posted it online. I'm not sure I even knew there was an original one that
was different than the one we posted online because it wasn't an issue. So it wasn't like - let's be very clear. We
were asked for the President's birth certificate In 2008; we released the President's birth certificate; and it was
done. That was it.
8/2/2019 Barnett ExParte Mar15_12
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/barnett-exparte-mar1512 62/186
And so there hasn't been a discussion about this other document for years. It's only been in the last few weeks.
And so to your second qu estion, the President decided to do this and he'll talk about this when he gets here -
decided to do it at the timeline that Bob laid out because it was a - this was a sideshow that was distracting from
the real challenges that we're facing.
It's not just a sideshow for him; it's a sideshow for our entire politics that have become focused on this.
0 Not to give Donald Trump more publicity than he has, but is he the person who sort of - sort of that bridge
between what you're calling a fringe and the mainstream? Do you think that he's the reason why this tripped the
switch to a level where you now have to deal with something you thought was dealt with?
MR. PFEIFF ER: It's not for me to say why mainstream media organizations began to cover this debate. They 'llhave to answer that for themselves.
0 How concerned were you about running against Donald Trump in a general election?
MR. PFEIF FER: I'd refer any questions on the election to the campaign.
0 Can you address the reports of Petraeus to the CIA and DOD -
MR. PFEIFFER : You get points for that, Carol. (Laughter.)
MR. CARNEY: Yes. I don't have - but you'll be disappointed to learn that I don't have a personnel
announcement for you. The President will be addressing this - questions about personnel tomorrow.
Q Dan, was there a debate about whether or not this deserved being discussed by the White House, whether
or not ~ and I'm going back to the birth certificate. I lose points, I undersiand. But was there debate about whelher
or not this was worthy of the White House?
MR. PF EIFFER: The point I'd make is that we weren't the ones who ~ w e're not the first ones to bring this up in
this room. Jay has been asked questions about this; the President has been asked about it in media interviews.
And so that wasn't a decision that we made, and the President made the decision to do this and he made the
decision to - and when he comes dow n here this morning he'll talk to you about why he thinks there's an important
point to be made here.
Q Getting back to the personnel announcements, does the President understand that these announceme nts
have been made and sourced satisfactorily for most news organizations before he speaks up and he's not letting his
8/2/2019 Barnett ExParte Mar15_12
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/barnett-exparte-mar1512 63/186
White House corroborate?
MR. CARNEY: I don't have a comment on that for you. Bill. (Laughter.)
Q I mean, this is such BS. It's all out there and you guys are ~ okay, the President is going to talk about this
tomorrow so we can't say anything.
MR. CARNEY: Bill, you're free to make phone calls everywhere you can. I'm just saying that we don't have a
personnel announcement for you today.
0 And he'll tomorrow, he'll cover all the aforementioned switches?
MR. CARNEY: We'll have a personnel announcement tomorrow.
0 Jay, yesterday you talked about failsafe triggers as sort of a posilive alternative to spending cuts. I'm
wondering if the White House has any openness to including that, because it's a White House proposal, including
that in any legislation that would raise the debt ceiling limit.
MR. CARNEY: We ll, what we've said very clearly, and I think Secretary Geithner said it eloquently yesterday, it
is a dangerous, risky idea to hold hostage any other - hold hostage, rather, raising the debt ceiling, a vote on
raising the debt ceiling, to any other piece of legislation. The com mitment this President has to moving aggressively
towards a comprehensive de ficit reduction plan is clear. It will be clear again when the Vice President convenes a
meeting, bipartisan, bicameral meeting, next week. And he hopes that progress will be made on that very quickly.
In terms of negotiating what that would look like, I think the negotiators should do that, led by the Vice President,
Republicans and Dem ocrats together. But again, explicitly linking or holding hostage the absolute necessity of
raising the debt ceiling lo any olher piece of legislation and declaring that we'll tank the U.S. economy and perhaps
the global economy if we don't get this specific thing that we want, I think is a dangerous and unprecedented thing to
do .
And we're confident, remain confident, that the leaders of both parties in Congress, as well as the President, will
agree with the President, as I have said many times, that we do not have an alternative to raising the debt ceiling
because, as many have said, outside observers, economists and businessmen and women, the impact of that would
be calamitous at best.
Q So even though it's your own proposal that you guys endorsed you do nl want to see it as part of the final
8/2/2019 Barnett ExParte Mar15_12
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/barnett-exparte-mar1512 64/186
package?
MR. CARNEY: I'm not negotiating individual pieces of a package that we hope Republicans and D emocrats can
come together around from this podium. But again, we believe it's essential to - the President believes - that's one
of the reasons why we're doing this right now - we believe that these are big debates that need to be had. They
can be contentious, argumentative, serious, comprehensive, detailed, because they're important; they're all about
America's future. And they're about visions of this country and where we're going that need to be debated. And this
debate was being crowded out in many ways by a sideshow.
And he looks forward lo having a debate on the real issues that Americans want us to talk about - long-term
economic plans, deficit reduction, investments in the kinds of things that will help this economy grow and create
jobs, dealing with our energy needs, a long-term energy plan. These are all issues that have been sidetracked at
least in the public debate by some of the issues that we're talking about this morning.
0 Is there a concern that more and more people were actually starting to believe its sideshow - I mean,
people have been asking about ~
MR. CARNEY: I will let the President speak for himself, but what Dan was saying and I think is importanl is that
the issue here is that the President feels that this was bad for the country; that it's not healthy for our political
debate, when we have so many important issues that Americans care about, that affect their lives, to be drawn inlo
sideshows aboul fallacies that have been disproven with the full weight of a legal document for several years.
So , again, as Dan said, and a lot of political pundits have said, you could say that il would be good politics,
smart politics, for the President to let this play out. He cares more about what's good for the country. He wants the
debate on the issues. He wants the focus on the issues that Americans care about.
Q Jay, the President yesterday said that he had been talking to oil exporters about increasing output. Whospecifically has he been talking -
MR. CARNEY: Well, I said - I want to clarify. I said several times I believe from this podium when asked
questions about our overall handling of the issue of high gas prices that we've had conversations wilh oil-producing
states and allies and those conversations continue. I don't have specific "the President spoke with this leader or
other government officials spoke with others," but those are ongoing conversations that, of course, we would be
having in a situation like this.
Q Do you guys have any comment on the NATO soldiers that were killed in Afghanistan and any confirmation
on whether there were Americans?
8/2/2019 Barnett ExParte Mar15_12
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/barnett-exparte-mar1512 65/186
MR. CARNEY: I don't have anything for you on that this morning.
Q Just quickly, back on the birth certificate, yesterday you said this was a settled issue. So ~
MR. CARNEY: Well, as Dan said, again, it has been a settled issue.
MR. PFEIFFER: From a factual point of view, it's absolutely a settled issue. But the fact that it was a settled:
issue did not keep it from becoming a major part of the political discussion in this town for the last several weeks;
;here." So there's absolutely no question that what the Presidenl released in 2008 w as his birth certificate and;
answered that question, and many of your organizations have done excellent reporting which proved that to be the
case. Bul it conlinued; the President thought it was a sideshow and chose to take this step today for the reasons!,
Bob laid out;
Q Aside from the policy distractions that was presented, did you have some concern because it was sort of
reaching back into the mainstream news coverage that this could become a factor in the 2012 election with centrist
voters?
MR. PFEIFFER: No.
Q Just to clarify what this document is -
MR. PFEIFFER : This is the - the letter first and the two certified copies - this is one of those. This is the same
thing you have a copy of as the first page of your packet.
Q How did it get here?
MR. PFEIFFER: As Bob said, it arrived by plane - the President's personal counse l went to Hawaii and brought
it back and we got it last night.
Q Last night?
MR. PFEIFFER: Last night.
0 What time?
MR. PFEIFFER: Between 4:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m.
8/2/2019 Barnett ExParte Mar15_12
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/barnett-exparte-mar1512 66/186
Q When did you decide to do this gaggle?
MR. PFEIFFER: What's that?
0 When was this gaggle put on - w hen was this planned?
MR. PFEIFFER: Whatever time you received your guidance suggesting that it would be "this time tomorrow
morning."
Q Are these letters supposed to demonstrate the legal steps that were involved in releasing it to the While
House counsel?
MR. BAUER: The letters that you have, the personal request from the President, along with the accom panying
letter from private counsel, is merely meant to document the legal path to getting the waiver of that policy so we
could get the long-form certificate.
0 The waiver of Hawaii state government policy?
MR. BAUER: Right. The non-release of the long-form certificate, which has been in effect since the 1980s - a
natural question would have been, well, what did you do to obtain the waiver, and those letters represent the
request.
Q Well, isn't it true that anybody who was born in Hawaii can write this letter? I mean, that's all there is to the
waiver process?
MR. BAUER : No. Let me just explain once again because I also noticed, by the way, in one report already the
wrong certificate was actually posted on the webs ite. The certificate with the signatures at the bottom - and that's a
key difference between the short form and the long form - the long form has signatures at the bottom from the
attending physician, the local registrar, and the mother, is the original birth certificate, which sits in a bound volume
in the State Department of Health.
The short from is a computerized abstract, and that's the legal birth certificate we requested in 2008 and that
Hawaiians are entilled to. Since the mid-1980s, the State Department of Health, for administrative reasons, only
provides to people who request their birth certificate the short form. They do not provide the long form.
So in order for us to obtain the long form, we had to have a waiver. We had to actually determine that there was
8/2/2019 Barnett ExParte Mar15_12
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/barnett-exparte-mar1512 67/186
a legal basis for providing it, and then ask them to exercise their authority to provide us with the long form. The
steps required to accomplish that were a letter from the person with the direct and vital interest - the President ~ so
you have a letter from the President, and then there was an accompanying letter from counsel basically formalizing
the request. So the reason we included that is that those were legal steps we took to obtain the long form by way of
this waiver.
Q Do we have the letter from the President -
MR. BAUER : It's in the packet.
0 And you went to Hawaii?
;MR. BAUER: I did not go to Hawaii. The counsel, Judy Corley, who signed the ~ the President's personal;
counsel at Perkins Co ie, Judy Corley, whose letter - signed letter of request is in your packet, traveled to Honolulu;
;and picked up the birth certificate^
0 A question on the situation regarding the Defense of Marriage Act. Yesterday Attorney General Eric Holder
rejected attacks on Paul Clement, who is taking up defense of the statute on behalf of the U.S. H ouse. Paul
Clement has taken a lot of heat from the LGBT community for volunteering to take up defense of DO MA Eric
Holder said, "Paul Clement is a great lawyer and has done a lot of really great things for this nation. In taking on the
representation - representing Congress in connection with DOM A I think he is doing that which lawyers do when
we're at our best. That criticism I think was very misplaced ." And Holder went on to compare the criticism of
Clement to attacks on the Justice D epartment lawyers for their past for detainees at Guantanamo Bay. Does the
President share Eric Holder's views on this?
MR. CARNEY: We do share Eric Holder's views on this. We think - as we said from the beginning when we
talked about ~ wh en I did from this podium - about the decision no longer from the administration to defend theDefense of Marriage Act, that we would support efforts by Congress if they so chose to defend it. And so I have
nothing to add to the Attorney General's comments.
Q Following Monday's Af-Pak Situation Room meeting, what is the President's assessment of the situation in
Afghanistan and Pakistan? And does he think that July drawdow n is still on?
MR. CARNEY: The Pres ident's policy, which included the beginning of a transition - beginning of a drawdown
of American troops, is absolutely still on track. I don't have anything additionally from the meeting yesterday beyond
what we've said. But the policy remains as it was.

MR. EARNE ST: Jay, we should wrap it up here.
MR. CARNEY: Yes. Lasl one, yes.
Q Given the comments of the Pakistani official quoted in the Wall Street Journal, is Pakistan still a U.S. ally,
and to what extent?
MR. CARN EY: Pakistan is still a U.S. ally.
Thanks.

Born in the U.S.A.The truth about Obama's birth certif icate.
Posted on August 21, 2008 , LIpdated on N ove mb erl, 2008; April 27, 2011
f3 SHBRE n^.S_]
S u m m a r y
In June, the Obama campaign released a digitally scanned image of his birth certificate to quell speculative charges that
he might not be a natural-born citizen. But the image prompted more blog-based skepticism about the document's
authenticity. And recently, author Jerome Corsi, whose book attacks Obama, said in a TV interview that the birth
certificate the campaign has is "fake."
We beg to differ. FactCheck.org staffers have now seen, touched, examined and photographed the original birth
certificate. We conclude that it meets all of the requirements from the State Department for proving U.S. citizenship.
Claims that the document lacks a raised seal or a signature are false. We have posted high-resolution photographs of
the document as "supporting documents" to this article. Our conclusion: Obama was born in the U.S.A. just as he has
always said.
Update, Nov. 1: The director of Hawaii's D epartment of Health confirmed Oct. 31 that O bama was born in Honolulu.
A n a l y s i s
Update Nov. 1: The Associated Press quoted Ch iyome Fukino as saying that both she and the registrar of vital
statistics, Alvin O naka, have persona lly verified that the health dep artment ho lds Oba ma's original birth certificate.
Fukino also was quoted by several other news organizations. The Honolulu Advertiser quoted Fukino as saying the
agency had been bombarded by requests, and that the registrar of statistics had even been called in at home in the
middle of the night.
; Honolulu Advertiser, Nov. 1 2008: "This has gotten ridiculous," state health director Dr. Chiyome Fukino said yesterday.
"There OTQ plenty of olher, imponani things to focus on, like the economy, taxes, energy.". . . Will this be enough to quiet
the doubters? "1 hope so," Fukino said. "We need to get some work done."
Fukino said she has "personally seen and verified that the Hawaii State Department of Health has Sen. Obama's
original birth certificate on record in accordan ce with state policies a nd procedure s."
Update, April 27, 2011: The White House released the long-form version of President Barack Obama's birth
certificate, confirming (yet again) that he wa s born in the U nited States. Th e Haw aii Departmen t of Health m ade an
exception in Obam a's case and issued cop ies of the "C ertificate of Live Birth."
Since we first wrote about Obama's birth certificate on June 16, speculation on his citizenship has continued apace.
Some claim that Obama posted a fake birth certificate to his Web page. That charge leaped from the blogosphere to
the mainstream media earlier this week when Jerome Corsi, author of a book attacking Obama, repeated the claim in
an Aug. 15 interview with Steve Doocy on Fox News.
Corsi: Well, what would be really helpful is if .Senator Obama would release primary documents like his birth certificate.
The campaign has a false, fake birth ceriificateposted on their websile. How is anybody supposed to really piece together
his life?
Doocy: What do you mean they have a "false birth ceriificate" on iheir Web site?
Corsi: The original birlh certificate of Obama has never been released, and the campaign refuses lo release i l .
8/2/2019 Barnett ExParte Mar15_12
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/barnett-exparte-mar1512 73/186
Doocy: Well, couldn't i l just be a State of Hawaii-produced duplicate?
Corsi: No, it's a — there's been good analysis of i l on the Internet, and it's been shown to have watermarks from
Photoshop. It's a fake document that's on the Web sile righl now, and the original birth certificate the campaign refuses lo
produce.
Corsi isn't theonly skeptic claiming that thedocument is a forgery. Among the most frequent ob jections wesaw on
forums, blogs ande-mails are:
• Thebirth certificate doesn't have a raised seal.
• It isn't signed.
• Nocreases from folding areevident in the scanned version.
• In the zoomed-in view, there's astrange halo around the letters.
• Thecertificate number isblacked out.
• Thedate bleeding through from theback seems to say "2007," but thedocument wasn't released until 2008.
• Thedocument is a "certification of birth," not a "certificate of birth."
Recently FactCheck representatives got achance tospend some time with the birth certificate, and wecan attest to the
fact that it is real and three-dimensional and resides at theObama headquarters inChicago. We can assure readers
that the certificate does bear a raised seal, and that it's stamped on the back by Hawaii state registrar Alvin T. Onaka
(who uses a signature stamp rather than signing individual birth certificates). Weeven brought home a few
photographs.

The raised seal
HQimBlowup of text
You can click on the photos to get full-size versions, which haven't been edited in any way, except that some have been
rotated 90 degrees for viewing pu rposes.
The certificate has all the elements the State Department requires for proving citizenship to obtain a U.S. passport:
"your full name, the full name of your parent(s), date and place of birth, sex, date the birth record was filed, and the seal
or other certification of the official custodian of such records." The names, date and place of birth, and filing date are all
evident on the scanned version, and you can see the seal above.
The document is a "certification of birth," also known as a short-form birth certificate. The long form is drawn up by the
hospital and includes ad ditional information such as birth w eight and parents' hometown s. The short form is printed by
the state and draws from a database with fewer details. The Hawaii Department of Health's birth record request form
does not give the option to request a photocopy of your long-form birth certificate, but their short form has enough
information to be acceptable to the State Department. We tried to ask the Hawaii DOH why they only offer the short
form, among other questions, but they have not given a response.
The scan released by the camp aign shows halos around the black text, making it look (to some) as though the text
might have been pasted on top of an image of security paper. But the docu ment itself has no such h alos, nor do the
close-up photos we took of it. We conclude that the halo seen in the image produced by the campaign is a digital
artifact from the scanning process.
We asked the O bam a campaign about the date stamp and the b lacked-out certificate number. The certificate is
stamped Ju ne 2 007 , because that's when Hawaii officials produced it for the cam paign, which requested that d ocumen t
and "all the records we could get our hands on" according to spokesperson S hauna Daly. The campa ign didn't release
its copy until 200 8, after speculation began to appear on the Internet questioning O bama's citizenship. The cam paign
then rushed to release the docum ent, and the rush is responsible for the blacked-out certificate n umber. Says Shaun a:
"[We] couldn't get someone on the phone in Hawaii to tell us whether the num ber represented some secret information,
and we erred on the side of blacking it out. Since then we've found out it's pretty irrelevant for the outside world." The
document we looked at did have a certificate number; it is 151 1961 - 010641.

Blowup of certificate number
Some of the conspiracy theories that have circulated about Obama are quite imaginative. One conservative blogger
suggested that the campaign might have obtained a valid Hawaii birth certificate, soaked it in solvent, then reprinted it
with Obama's information. Of course, this anonymous blogger didn't have access to the actual document and presentsthis as just one possible "scenario" without any evidence that such a thing actually happened or is even feasible.
We also note that so far none of those questioning the authenticity of the document have produced a shred of evidence
that the information on it is incorrect. Instead, some speculate that somehow, maybe, he was born in another country
and doesn't meet the Constitution's requirement that the president be a "natural-born citizen."
We think our colleagues at PolitiFact.com, who also dug into some of these loopy theories put it pretty well: "It is
possible that Obama conspired his way to the precipice of the world's biggest job, involving a vast network of people
and government agencies over decades of lies. Anything's possible. But step back and look at the overwhelming
evidence to the contrary and your sense of what's reasonable has to take over."
In fact, the conspiracy w ould need to be even deeper th an our c olleagues rea lized. In late July, a researcher looking todig up dirt on Obama instead found a birth announcement that had been published in the Honolulu Advertiser on
Sunday, A ug. 13, 196 1:
Kalapu St., Ewa De.ich, Bvit]davg hter, Al>9. ;S.
.Mr. and W rj .. Barack: H. O bjm a.a m Ka l jn l jn jol c H\v> ,, icn . Au( i .

Mr. ond f.Kri. Andrew. A. A\.'
Obama's birth announcem ent
A lli<
, SI
Fr^
The announcement was posted by a pro-Hillary Clinton blogger who grudgingly concluded that Obama "likely" was
born Aug . 4, 1961 in Honolulu.Of course, it's distantly possible that Obama's grandparents may have planted the announcement just in case their
grandson needed to prove his U.S. citizenship in order to run for president someday. We suggest that those who
choose to go down that path should first equip themselves with a high-quality tinfoil hat. The evidence is clear: Barack
Obam a was born in the U.S.A.
Update, August 26: We received responses to some of our questions from the Hawaii Department of Health. They
couldn t tell us anything a bout their security paper, bu t they did answe r another frequently-raised question: why is
Obam a's father's race listed as "African"? Kurt Tsue at the DOH told us that father's race and mother^ race are
supplied b y the parents, and that "we accept wha t the parents self identify them selves to be." W e consider it
8/2/2019 Barnett ExParte Mar15_12
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/barnett-exparte-mar1512 76/186
reasona ble to believe that Barack Ob ama , Sr, wou ld have thoug ht of and reported him self as "African." It's certainly
not the slam dunk some readers have m ade it out to be.
When we as ked about the security borders, which look different from some other examples of H awaii certifications of
live birth, Kurt said "The borders are gen erated eac h time a certified copy is printed. A citation loca ted on the b ottom
left hand corner of the certificate indicates which date the form was re vised ." He also confirmed that the information
in the short form birth certificate is sufficient to prove citizenship for "all reasonable purp oses ."

Eligibility Update: FactCheck.org Doesn't Do Forensics; N HSoS andCertificates; British Policeman on Eligibility
Submitted by Phil on Tue, Nov 24, 2009472 Comments
TheObamaFile reports on what readers here have seen me promulgate all along regarding the
FactCheck.org blog's credentials on making any sort of forensic document detemiination R.E: Mr.
Obama's Hawaiian Certification of Live Birth — they don't have the right background (update: see
bios here):
FactCheck.org identifies their anal-ists as Jess Henig and Joe Miller. OK, that's fine, but
who and what are Jess Henig and Joe Miller? Are they qualified to perform an analysis
of ANY document, or are they just a couple of guys hanging around FactCheck.org's
office, or are they political operators? What are their bona fides? FactCheck.org doesn't
say. Wonder why?
Well, I found out. The two FactCheck.org employees who were granted access to
Obama's bogus Certification of Live Birth (COLB) are NOT document examiners or
experts. Joe Miller has a Ph. D. in Political Philosophy — so he's a political operative —
while Jess Henig has an M.A. in English Literature — I'm not sure her dye-job is a
political or esthetic statement.
They are a couple of partisan Obots —just what you'd expect — Jess took the photos
presented on their webpage and did all of the writing, while Bob basically held the COLB
open for Jess to photograph — suitable work for a Ph. D.
8/2/2019 Barnett ExParte Mar15_12
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/barnett-exparte-mar1512 78/186
Those two are completely unqualified to perform any kind of forensic examination ofany
document, and FactCheck.org knows it — and so do Henig and Miller.
FactCheck does say their, "representatives got a chance to spend some time with the
'birth certificate,' and we can attest to the fact that it is real and three-dimensional and
resides at the Obama headquarters in Chicago." In my mind, that clearly shows they
were working with and for the Obama Campaign and that Obama and his people are
involved in this lie.
Again, as I've said before, these individuals may be very well credentialed in their chosen fields, but
it hardly seems fitting that individuals who are not trained in the science of document forensics —
like four otherwise credentialed examiners have been — could possibly have a trained opinion of the
document's legitimacy.
Further, as certain opposition commenters have pointed out many times over, the page that allegedly
speaks to the authenticity of the document can lead the casual observer to believe that quotes from the
HI Department of Health are directly related to the certification allegedly on hand withFactCheck.org. This is very much of a conclusory lead, as the HI DoH has never made any direct
connection between what they have on file versus what FactCheck.org claims to have on hand. There
is no receipt ofany such transaction ever having occurred back in 2007 and nobody but the above two
individuals have come forward to actually physically handle the document (regardless of
FactCheck.org's supposed willingness to allow such an inspection).
Remember — this is the only direct evidence that has ever been claimed to be originally sourced to
speak on anything regarding Mr. Obama's background. And even this is hardly a direct source; it is a
"short-form" version of a "long-form" birth certificatethat could verywell indicate a birth registration
of an immigrant (see Sun Yat-sen for such an example).
Following up on a story conceming New Hampshire State Rep. Lawrence Rappaport inquiring withthe Secretary of State regarding Mr. Obama's legitimate candidacy on the ballot in the State, The Post
& Email reports on some additional details:
In an email to supporters, Rappaport reports what transpired:
"Well, here's the sad news. Representative Vita, her husband and I met with
New Hampshire Attomey General Michael Delaney and his assistant
yesterday
(Friday) at 10 am. We wanted an investigation for potential fraud on either
Obama or the Democratic Partly based mostly on our contention that since
Obama ran for President in New Hampshire when we believe he was not
eligible, we believe fraudwas committed on the citizens of New Hampshire.
We based our suspicions and allegations on:

The following is in response to your request to the Department of
State dated January 2, 2009, requesting the release of material under the
provisions of the Freedom of Infonnation Act (5 U.S .C . § 552).
We have completed a search for records responsive to your request.
The search resulted in the retrieval of six documents that are responsive to
your request. After careful review of these documents, we have determined
that that all six documents may be released in full.
We did not locate a 1965 passport application referenced in anapplication for amendment of passport that is included in the released
documents. Many passport applications and other non-vital records from
that period were destroyed during the 1980s in accordance with guidance
from the General Services Administration.
Passport records typically consist of applications for United States
passports and supporting evidence of United Statescitizenship. Passport
records do not include evidence of travel such as entrance/exit stamps, visas,
residence permits, etc. since this information is entered into the passport
book after issuance.

The following Chapter provides very strong evidence that Barack Hussein
Obama has NEVER had any of his official records viewed by anyone in any official
position in the U.S. federal government or state governments regarding his birthplace, citizenship, and possible criminal activ ity. The reason why Obam a's records
have not been viewed by Congress or a federal govern me nt agency is that th e re
is n o e n f o r c e a b l e C o n g r e s s i o n a l r e q u i r e m e n t f o r v e t t i n g t h e C o n s t i t u t i o n a l
q u a l i f i c a t i o n s o f P r e s i d e n t / V i c e P r e s i d e n t E l e c t s o r a n d n o d i r e c t e d
pu nis hm en t for n ot ve t t i ng a Pre s ide nt E lec t . My evidence was proven to be
true by a report leaked in the Fall of 2010 from the Congressional Research.
If Congress does not do its job to vet a President Elect, the only way to obtain
justice for the Constitution is to go to the branch of government not involved with
the election of the President elect - the Judicial Branch - federal court or theSuprem e Court or possibly a state court. Some states have rem oved not
constitutionally qualif ied candidates from the Presidential ballot in the past
(California) but failed to investigate Obama's records even though complaints and
even lawsuits were fi led by concerned citizens. The failed results of this avenue are
addressed in my Obstruction of Justice chapter and include Obama's Supreme Court
nominees Justices Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor who did not recuse
themselves on 3 cases challenging the eligibil i ty of Obama and ultimately their
judgeship legality .
The hypothesis supported by my research and the Congressional Research XXX,
is that Not one mem ber of Congress, E lector of the Electoral College, any
state Democratic of Republican party, federal government agency
employee including the FBI, Secretary of State, state election board
official, judge or state attorney general across the country has ever seen
Obama 's original birth certificate or other Pres idential qua lifying
docum entation regarding Obam a. In addition, no state or federal agency
while he was Illinois State Senator, U.S. Senator and now President of the
United States required Obam a to provide proof that he is able to work
legally in the country.
Theoretically, Obam a could be an illegal alien.

The electoral college has never formally vetted a President elect's Constitutional
qua lifications befo re. Electors are appointed by a party w ith the intent and by state
law, for them to vote the party l ine regardless of the candidate's legal
qua lif ications . Tw en ty-fo ur states have laws tha t require the elector to vote the
party l ine. When an elector does not vote for the ir party's candidate they are
referred to as a "faith less " elector. According to research done by Saint Leo
University there have only been 156 faithless votes in our cou ntry's histo ry. A
Supreme Court ruling allowing states to empower polit ical parties to require formal
pledges from Presidential Electors (Ray v Blair, 343 US 214) further takes away any
discretion of the elector to vote his conscience. For exa m ple, even if an elector
believed his party's candidate may be ineligible, he would feel pressured to vote the
party l ine or be replaced.
An effort was made by a group called Democrat Disaster to inform every Democrat
elector in the county that there was a potential problem with Obama's eligibil i ty.
The letter asked the m to take action on inves tigating the m atte r furth er. All letters
were sent certif ied mail and not one Democrat elector called for an investigation.
You can read more about this effort in the Citizen Activism chapter.
As demonstrated by the first document from the Office of Personnel
Management, responsibil i ty for vetting a President-Elect l ies with Congress.
However, California has in the distant past removed a Presidential candidate fromthe ballot for not mee ting the age requirem ent. California did fail to vet Obama for
the 200 8 ba llot as did all of the othe r secretaries of state . This is said with 10 0%
confidence because not one SOS has claimed to have seen Obama's long form birth
certif icate . This web site also has letters/e ma ils from all of the Secretaries of State
that confirm they are not responsible for vetting Presidential or other federal
candidates. ht tp: / /saveourr iqhts.wik ia.com/wik i /Vet t inq Candidates

Many Secre tar ies o f S ta te were sued to vet Obama, but they a l l sa id they had
no duty to ve t a Pres ident ia l cand idate - some sa id that i t was the par ty 's

THE SIMPLE FACT IS THAT NO ONE IN THE ILLINOIS STATE OF FEDERAL

THE TIME HE WAS BORN UNTIL CURRENT TIMES.
OBAMA COULD NOT BE LEGALLY QUALIFIED TO WORK IN THE UNITED STATES.

The interests of national security require that all persons privileged to be employed in the departmentsand agencies ofthe govenunent shall be reliable, tnistworthy, of good conduct and character, and of
complete and luiswerving loyalry to the United States. This nieans that fhe appointment of each civihan
employee in any department or agency of the govemment is subject to investigation. The scope oftheinvestigation will vary, depending on the nauue ofthe position ajid the degree of hann that an individual
in diat position could cause.
The requirement to be investigated applies whether or not tlie position requires a security clearance (in
order to have access to classified national secmity infonnation).
I am being considered fo r a Federal job and have been given a personnel security' questionnaire.
It's very long and usks a lot of personal questions. Do 1 have to answer all the questions on thc
form? Much of that information is already on my resume.
Yes. The resume is part ofthe application process. Tlie Security Questionnaire is part ofthe
investigation process. A ll of tlie security questionnaire questions should be answered fully, accurately,
and honestly.
What will happen i f l refuse to give you some ofthis personal inforniation?
The investigation is a job requirement. Providing the infomiation is vohuitaiy, but if you choose not topi ovide the required infonnation, you will not meet the requiienieiits of the job and will tlierefore not be
considered fiulher. If you are aheady employed by the Federal govenimeut, your appointment will betenninated. The courts have upheld this principle.
What should I do i f l remember something later, after I've filled out thc f o rm and returned il?
Imniediately notify the secmity officials towhom you submitted the questionnaire.
I don't want everj'body reading my personal inforniation; who sees this information?
The only persons authoiized to see your personal infonnation are Personnel Seciunty, Suitability, andInvestigations professionals who have been investigated at the appropriate level and who have a genuine
and demonstiated need for access to the infonnation.
I' m not a criminal. Why do you want my fingerprints?
So that we can verif y yoiu- claim that you're not a criminal by checking the FBI's fingeipriiit files.

Doesn't the FB I conduct all Federal background investigations'
Notice that POTUS, VicePOTUS,Senators and Representatives arenot includedon this list that requiresFederal Background Investigations.This causedme tosendaFOIA to
the OfficeofPersonnelManagementfor verification.
Tlie U.S. Office of Personnel Management, the Department of Defen.se. and a few other agencies share
this responsibility. Tlie FBI mostly conducts investigations on the following: Hiah level Presidential
appointees, cabinet officers, agency heads and staff who may work at the White House directly for the
President.
Many contractors say that a security clearance is needed to apply for their jobs. How can I get a
clearance in advance so I can apply for these jobs? Can I pay for it myself?
The Office of Personnel Management has no procedure for an individual to independently apply for an
investigation, positions maiutauied by conhactor, or security clearance. Clearances are based on
investigations requestedby Federal agencies, appropriate to specific positions and tbeir duties. Until a
person is offered such a position, the govenunent will not request or pay for an investigation for a
clearance. Once a person has been offered a job (contingent upon satisfactoiy coiupletion of auinvestigation), the govemment will require the person to complete a Standard Fomi 86, Questionuaue
for National Security Positions, initiate the investigation, adjudicate die resulls, and issue the appropriate
clearance.
We know that some Defense Department contractors requue applicants to aheadyhave a clearance, and
they have the right to administer their personnel hiring proceduies Ihe way they want as long as they
don't discriminate based on prohibited factors (such as race or religion). Persons who already have
clearancesare those who are already employed by a government conU actor (or by the government itself)
and are looking for other job opportimities.
How long does a background investigntion take?
The timeliness of a background investigation depends on the type of investigation conducted. Depending
on die type of backgiound uivesligation, the scope ofthe investigation may require coverage for specificitems.
Tlie need for a secmity clearance may affect the time period in which an investigation is completed.
Each backgioimd investigation requires that certain areas are covered before an investigation is
completed.

Can you please be more specific on what type of documentation Rep. TomMcClintock had to provide toprove his identity to receive hispay and benefits?Was it the documentation that is required on the Federal Form 1-9?
Did anyone inany official federal capacity vet Rep. McClintock's Constitutionalqualifications?
Is there a requirement that Federally elected officials - Senators,Representatives, and the POTUS have their Constitutional qualifications verifiedby a federal entity other than Congress?
You didn't mention an employment process that Rep. McClintock had to undergoonce elected, so I am assuming there wasn't a "new hire" employment process orbackground check. Is this correct?

Dear Mr. Barnett:
Thank youfor writing regarding President Barack Obama's qualifications to be President.I appreciate hearing from you and 1 apologize for the delay in my response.
Anicle 11. Section 1 of theU.S. Constitution specifies the qualifications for this executive

Thank you for contacting me regarding a perspn's eligibility to run fo r the President o fthe United States. It is good to hear from you.
The abilitN' lo receive United States citizenship is one ofthe core pillars in cur great
democracy. It is outlined in the Fourteenth Amendment ofthe U.S. Constitution and Section
301(a) ofthe Immigration and Nationahty Act (INA ) (8 U.S.C. Section 1401(a)), that a person
who is bom in the United States, subject to its jurisdiction, is a citizen ofthe United States
regardless of the race, ethnicity, or alienage of the parents. Additionally, according to the U.S.Constitution, only a natural bom citizen or a citizen of the United States of, at minimum, thirty-five years of age and fourteen years of United States residency, is eligible to run for die President
of the United States.
Ln regard to Senator Obama, tiiere is a federal lawsuit pending in Pennsylvania addressing
tliis matter. However, as a United States Senator, 1 camiot intervene in the legal process and
must defer to the courts to make the appropriate decision about this case.
Thanks again fo r contacting nie. I hope diis information was helpful. Plea.sc feel free tocontact me in the fiitu re.

Thank you for contacting me about President-Elect Barack Obama's citizenship. I appreciate
knowing o f your concems. . . . • .
The Fourteenth Amendment ofthe U.S Constitution states that "all persons bom or naturalized inthe United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and o f
the state wherein they reside." Hawaii became a territory of theUnited States in 1898 and was
officially admitted as a State in 1959.
It is myunderstanding that President-Elect Obama has released an ofFicial copy of his birthcertificate, Since he was bom in 1961 in Hawaii, he is eligible under the Constitution to run for
and hold the office of President of the United States. In addition, President-Elect Obama's birthrecords have been certified and validated by the Hawaii Department of Health as well as by
experts from the University of Pennsylvania. The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear the caseand agreed with the lower courts' rulings that the plaintiffs lacked standing to bring the legal
challenges questioning President-Elect Obama's citizetiship,
Again, thank you for contacling me. Shouldyouhave any additional questions or comments,please do not hesitate to let meknow or visit mywebsite at http://burr.senate.gov.

Thank you for contacting meregardi'ng your concern with President-Elect BarackObama's citizenship; I appreciate theoppo'rtunity to respond.
Article Two of the Constitution stat'as: "Noperson except a natural born Citizen,or a Citizen of the U nited States, at the t ime of the Adoption of this Constitution shall be
eligible to theOffice of President; neither shall anyPerson beeligible to that Office who
shall not have attained to theAge of thirt>/-five Years , andbeen fourteen Years a
Resident within the United States."
Numerous claims have been ma de that Senator Obama does not rfieet thesequalifications because he is not a natu ral bom citizen. InJune, theObama campaignreleased a copy of his birth certificate confirming that he was born inHawaii in 1961,after it became a state onAugust 2 1 , 1959. Senator O bama therefore became a citizenat birth under the first section of the •'i4th Amendment which states that "all personsbo m or naturalized in theUnited Sta tes, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are
citizens ofthe United States and of theState wherein they reside."
I hope this information is rr^sponsive to your inquiry and please let me know if I
can be of any assistance to you or your family in the future.With kind regards, I am
Sincerely,

Thank you forcontacting mc about thc qualifications of Barack Obam a to be elected
President of the United Slates, i appreciate hearing your views and welcome theopportunity to
respond.
As you may be aware. President Obama was bom at the Kapi'olani Medical Cenler for
Women & Children onA ug . 4, 1961 inHonolulu, Hawai i . At this time, Hawaii had been aU.S. state
for two years. TheFourteenth Amendment ofthe U.S. Constiiuiion slates, "Al l persons born or
naturalized in the United States, and subject to the juris dictio n thereof, are citizens of the United
States and of the State whe rein they reside ." President Oba ma's birth inHawaii alone conferred
upon him natural bom citizenship to thc Unilcd Slates.
On October 31,2008, the Director of Hawaii's Department of Health confirmed thatPresident Obama was in fact bom in Honolu lu . TheHeallh Dircctor personally verified that Hawaii's
Health Depanment holds the President's original binh certif icate. The existence and accuracy of th ebirth certif icale also was verified bythe non-partisan organization FaciChcck.org wh ich senl a
representaiive to Hawaii toanalyze thc birth c ertif icate inperson. Additionally, nine days after
President Obama's birth, abirth announcement was published in theHonolulu Advert iser on Sunday,
Aug. 13, 1961.
I appreciate your taking your limc tocontact me about this important issue. I trust that you
wi l l cont inue toshare your thoughts wi th me onother malters of concern. I f lmaybe of any further
assistance toyou, please do not hesitate tocall on me.
With warmest regards, I remain

And I thought that Congress was supposed to vet the President elect? Senator
Kyi seems to think that a married couple from California with no access to Obama'srecords is capable of vetting Obama. The site does have a disclaimer that you

Dear Mrs. Storm:
Thank you for your recent letter regarding President Barack Obama.
As you are aware, stories have circulated that call into question President Obama's
citizenship. Additionally, various lawsuits have been filed alleging that Obama is not a natural
bom citizen of the United States, and therefore is constitutionally ineligible for the officeof
president. However, in June 2008, President Obama released a digitally scanned image o f his
birth certificate,and Hawaii's Director of the State Department o f Health, Chiyome Fukimo, has
verified its authenticity.
As you may know, on January 8, 2009, Congress certified and tallied the Electoral
College results that verified President Obama's election as the next president of theUnited
States.
The office ofthepresidency should be held in high regard and the president treated with
respect, no matter who occupies the position. As we move forward, Americans should expect
Congress and the president to work together to find substantive solutions to the pressing issues
that our nation faces today.
Thank you again for writing. Please do not hesitate to contact me or a member of mystaff
i f we may ever be o f assistance to you.
Very truly yours.

Dear Ms.
Thank you for your recent letter regarding President-elect Barack Obama. I appreciateyour comments and welcome the opportunity to respond.
The Constiiuiion ofthe United States requires that all caiididales for the office of
President must beat least 35 years ofag e, natural born citizens, and residents in the UnitedStates for the previous 14 years. As you k now , stories have circulated that call into questionPresident-elect Obama's citizenship. To this end, lawsuits have been filed alleging that Obnma is
not a natural born citizen of the United States, and therefore is constitutionally ineligible for theoffice of Presidenl.
One of th e most highly publicized suits was filed by Philip B erg on August 21 , 2008, in
the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. This suit was dismissed onOctober 24, 2008 , and Berg subsequently filed an appeal. The decision tohear the case is st illpending before the United States Supreme Court. A related suit, filed byLeo Do nofrio. wasrecently submitted tothe Supreme Court. On December S, 2008, the court declined to hearDono frio's suit.
Senate ethics rules preclude me from becoming personally involved inpending litigation.1 sincerely hope this matter can be fiilly and promptly resolved by the courts, in the meantime,please do not hesitate to contact me in the fiature should you have a question regarding an issueover which I have jurisdiction.
Thank you again fo r w riting . Your comments and suggestions are always welcome.

With all of the evidence uncovered regarding the lack of vetting of Federal
candiates on the ballot, I then thought that the states would be the same way and
my assumptions proved to be correct. The next emails and docume nts prove tha t
no one in the State of Il l inois in any official capacity was required to view a birth
certifcate for Barack Hussein Obama in his bid and election for the Illinois State
Sen ate. Obama w as also not required to com plete a Federal 1-9 Form to be able to
receive pay and benefits. Conse quently, again Obama could have been a non -
citizen or i l legal alien or non-citizen when serving as an Il l inois Senator which is
against the Il l inois Constitution and Il l inois election laws.

Dear Ms. Barnett:
The Illinois Office of the Comptroller (IOC) is in receipt ofyour Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)request concerning state legislators.
First, you may not realize that the Illinois FOIA does not require agencies toanswer questions.Rather, the FOIA requires agencies to make available non-exempt public records for inspection
and/or copying. The Il linois Courts have made this clear: "The Act does not compel theagency toprovide answers to questions posed bythe inquirer." (Kenvon v. Garrells. 540N.E.2d 11,1 3 (III.App. Ct 1989) Thenewly am ended Illinois FOIA also clarifies this: "Each public body sh all makeavailable to anyperson for inspection orcopying ail public records, except asotherwise provided inSection 7 ofth is Act..." (5 ILCS 140/3(a)) and "This Act is not intended to compel public bodies tointerpret oradvise requesters as to the meaning or significance of the public records." (5 ILCS140/3.3)
However, In the interests of a greater understanding of the IOC and itsoperations, please know that1) the IOC does not have any role indetermining the eligibility of elected members of the Illinoislegislature and 2)elected members of the Illinois legislature docomplete a nd file IRS form W-4withthe IOC in order to process the State Officers payroll. Please beadvised that the individual IRS W-4 forms filed by Illinois legislators areexempt from disclosure under Section 7(1)(a) of the FOIA.
I am an attorney, but I am nof your attorney. I cannot give you legal advice in response to yourinquiry. If you wish tohave a better understanding of Illinois elecfion law, I suggest fhat you retain

The Secretaries of State in each state are ultimately responsible for the electionsIn the ir respective state. None of the states in the cou ntry ve tted O bama's
Con stitutional qualif ications because they do not normally do tha t. Most SOS's
stated it was the polit ical p arty's job and a few said cited election officials. The
Il l iniois Secretary of State's Office states that "The Secretary of State does not
perfo rm any type of backgroun d investigation on candida tes. The Secretary of
State does not verify identity, age, residency, and citizenship of candidates."

Finally, instead of our Department of Justice assuring the American
people that Obama is who he says he is, they represent or assist him in
court to continue to block access to his vital records - more on this in the
Ob struction of Justice Cha pter. Millions of Am erican s, including sold iers.
Ai rmen, Marines and Coastguardsmen, have doubts as well as evidenced by
the many polls regarding Obam a's birth place. A m ajo rity does not know
where he was born or if he's a legal President.
The DOJ fails to state tha t Obama had been vetted by the go vern m en t;
they instead agree and site the unlawful ruling made by Judge James
Robertson which states the citizenry (who has absolutely no access to any of
Obam a's records) had vetted Obama throug h blogs and Tw itter. See DOJ
citation below.

Strunk v. Depar tment of State and Depar tment of Homeland SecurityCase No. l:08-CV-02234 (RJL)
' Stmnk's allegations appear to be grounded in a widely discredited conspiracy theoiy
asserting that the President was not bom in die United States and/or is otherwise not a United
States citizen. As recently obsei-ved by Judge James Robertson, this theory was "raised, vetted,
blogged, texted, twittered, and othewise massaged by America's vigilant citizemy diuing Mr.Obama's two-year-campaign fo r the presidency," Hollister v. Soetoro, 601 F. Supp. 2d 179, 180
The DOJ states that they are not responsible for vetting alleged fraud crimes
relating to Obam a's Con stitutional qua lifications even thou gh they are. look
at the DOJ's website for crimes they investigate. The DOJ instead states the
Federal Election Commission is responsible for investigating which is untrue.
See next page for letter that will also be filed under the Obstruction Chapter.
See below for list of crimes that the FB I, which is under the DOJ,
investigates.

General Counsel's OJpce Wa.Mngton. D.C. 20530
FEB -4 2009
This responds to your January 13, 2009 faxed letters to President George W. Bush andPatrick Fitzgerald at the Office of Special Counsel in which you ask bolh men to investigate
President Barack Obama for treason, forgery, and campaign finance fraud. Because of the nature
ofyour request, your letter vvas forwarded lo the Executive OfTice for United Stales Attorneys,
Department of Justice, for a response.
Your letter conlains many allegations questioning the nationality and citizenship status of
President Barack Obama, and therefore, the potential illegality of his presidency. The crimes
which you directly or indirectly accusePresidenl Obama of committing include forgery of his
Hawaii birth certificate, using a campaign operative to forge his passportdocumenls, and the
illegal acceptance of campaign funds from foreign contributors.
While these allegations warrant an investigation, they have been directed lo the wrong
agency. You may wish to report these allegations of campaign finance fraud to the Federal
Election Commission. You can find their telephone number online or you may write to the FEC
at the following address:
Federal Election Commission
999 E Slreel N.W.

Weappreciate the involvement of citizens such as yourself who lake an active interest in

I f the FBI would have done a background invest igat ion on Obama, just
on public records alone, they would have found a highly suspect background

money laundering and other fraud crime s. Autho r includes full list of names
and address of the following report so that other researchers may be able toshed some light on this report that closely mirrors the report given by Neil

previously, as it appears to also be associated with someone bomin the year 1890.

Secretary of State List of Presidential Candidates
Called "Unlawful"

Posted on February8, 2011 by the Sate Centra Commice
The following press release and slalemeni were issued by the State Central Committee ol (he
California Peace and Freedom Party on February 8, 2011.
IVIEDIA RELEASE
February 8, 2012
For further information: CT. Weber (916) 422-5395 or (916) 320-9186
SECRETARY OF STATE UST OF PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES
CALLED "UNLAWFUL" AFTER PARTY'S CANDIDATES
LEFT OFF JUNE 5 PRIMARY BALLOT
SACRAtwlENTO - The Sec retary of State's office has omitted two of the four Presidential
candidates on the Peace and Freedom Party's primary ballot - and the independent party is
demanding to know why.
A NEWS CONFERENCE is scheduled at 10 a.m. Thursday (2-9-12) al the SOS oftice (11th
& 0 Streets) to provide details. Peace and Freedom Party State Chairperson C. T. Weber will
be present.
SOS Debra Bowen has yet to respond, and in a statemenl issued today, Weber cites Elections
Code sections that specify how presidential primary candidates are supposed to be selected by
the Secretary of State, and suggests that code sections covering other parties may have
improperly been applied to the Peace and Freedom Party candidates.
"No Secretary of State has ever overmled our party's report listing our primary candida tes," says
Weber, "until this mistaken decision by Secretary B owen." He also cites a failure by the
Secretary of State to consult party county chairs, as specifically required in the Elections Code,
and accuses Bowen of failing to consider as required by law the letter submitted to her by
Weber on behalf of the Peace and Freedom Party State Executive Committee that listed all four
candidates for inclusion.
In the list announced Monday night, Bowen included Stewart Alexander and Rocky Anderson on
the ballot, but omitted Peta Lindsay and Stephen Durham. Weber was unable to get an
explanation when he went to the Secretary of State's Sacramento office the next morning, and
reports that officials in the office refused to divulge what criteria Bowen used to make her
choices, who was present at the meeiing, where the criteria were developed, and whether
Bowen herself was present at the meeting.
Richard Becker of San Francisco, a spokesman for the Peta Lindsay campaign, calls the
omission of her name "absolutely unjustifiable under the law."
Candidate Stephen Durham of New York City says "I strongly object to the attempt by the
California Secretary of State to steal away the rights of those who want to vote for a bona (ide
socialist feminist candidate for president."
"Our voters are seriously considering four candidates, and they deserve to have the Secretary
of State follow the law a nd list all four on the primary ballot," Weber said.

WHO'S O NLINE
We have 68 guests online
President of the United States who would appear on the primary election ballots of the various
parties in the presidential preference section. Breaking the precedent of the previous 36 years,
this list for the first time omits many or most of the candidates reported to her by the state chairs
of some of the political parties, including two of the four candidates that I reported to her were
found by our State Executive Committee to be serious seekers of the Peace and Freedom Party
nomination. (While Stewart Alexander and Rocky Anderson were listed, Stephan Durham and
Peta Lindsay were omitted.)
Visiting her office yesterday, I found that her staff was determined to keep secret the criteria
used by the Secretary of State in selecting her choices for the ballot, refused to tell me who
attended the meeting at which the criteria were determined, refused to tell me whether Bowen
was present at that meeting, and refused to justify in any way her omission of candidates who
are clearly serious about obtaining the Peace and Freedom Party nomination, and generally
considered serious candidates by party activists (and by their opponents). I was told, to my
astonishment, that Bowen could list any names she pleased without any logical criteria at all.
This is not what it says in the elections code.
In fact, the Elections Code (section 6720) states that the Secretary of State shall include the
names of candidates recognized throughout California as active candidates for the Peace and
Freedom Party nom ination for President. All four of the names subm itted are in fact Ihose of
candidates who are recognized, and have some support, from all areas of California, as well as
various other parts of the country. This may not be apparent from reports in the commercial
media, but Peace and Freedom Party activists have never depended on the commercial media
for their information about presidential candidacies, as the commercial media rarely mention our
candidates at all. The publications of various groups on the left, the blogs and websites and
e-mail lists used by those on the left to communicate with each other, and communication at
meetings and rallies through word-of-mouth and leaflets, are the "media" used by Peace andFreedom members to learn about the various candidates who seek our presidential nomination.
It appears possible that the Secretary of State may have unlawfully developed a list of criteria for
selecting recognized candidates that is the same for candidates in all parties. In fact, the criteria
in the election code differ for each party. For example, coverage in the news media is a legal
criterion in the American Independent Party (EC sec tion 6520), but is purposely omitted in the
Peace and Freedom Party section of the code. Qualifying for funding under the Federal
Elections Campaign Act is included in the criteria for the Democratic Party (EC seclion 6041),
but is purposely omitted in the Peace and Freedom Party section of the code. The unjustifiable
secrecy being maintained around Ihe Secretary of State's list of criteria may conceal the
mistaken and unlawful developme nt of a common list of criteria for all p arties, and if this is the
case, the Secretary of State should come clean, and admit the mistake, while adding the
improperly omitted candidates to the list for the ballot.
The Elections Code (section 6721) provides that the Secretary of State shall ask the Stato Chair
and the County Chairs of the Peace and Freedom Party for information regarding presidential
candidates, and states that any information they wish to submit "will be considered by the
Secretary of State." In fact, in 2012, the Secretary of State failed to make this request of the
various County Chairs, although their names and contact information are available to her, and
obviously failed to consider the information submitted by the State Chair on behalf of the State
Executive Committee of the party. This is not a choice available to the Secretary of State under
the law, but is a lapse and a failure to follow the law.
While those omitted may circulate petitions among Peace and Freedom Party voters to have
their names added, this is a serious burden that is not supposed to be imposed on generally
recognized candidates . It is highly unfair to list two of the recognized cand idates, but force the
other two of them to put in substantial work and money to obtain the primary ballot access the
first two have without this work and expenditure.
The Elections Code (section 6722) states that the Secretary of State may add to her announced
selections after the announcement is made. I strongly urge Secretary of State Bowen toconsider the information now being submitted to her office to demonstrate that all four of the
candidates reported to her by our party as serious candidates are indeed serious candidates,
and announce at the earliest possible date the addition of the two omitted candidates to the list
of those who will appear on the ballot.
I further urge Secretary of State Bowen, who was elected and re-elected as the candidate who
would make the functioning of her office more transparent, to release her criteria for selecting
candidates for the presidential preference primary, the names of those present when those
criteria were developed, and how those criteria were used to select two but omit two others on
the list submitted by the Peace and Freedom Party's elected leadership.-C.T. Weber, California

VOTER REGISTRATION RECENT ADDITIONS TO THE PEACE AN D FREEDOM PARTY WEBSITE
In California, voter registration is
very important to political parties.
The very existence of a political
party as "ballot-qualified" is
determined by the number of
votes its statewide candidates
receive or by the number of
voters registered with the party.
As the only feminist socialist
political party on the C aliforniaballot, it is imperative that the
Peace and Freedom Party
continues as a qualified party.
Quite simply, the Peace and
Freedom Party will not be able to
provide Californians with
candidates that will represent us
unless we register and vote

From: [email protected]: [email protected]: Presidential candidates: Your office's strange law-defying response to Toni MendocinoDate: Sun, 19 Feb 2012 23:17:42 -0800
Dear anonymous person from Legislative and Con stituent Affairs.I have received a much-forwarded copy of the e-mail below. I am a mem ber of the Peace and FreedomParty California Executive Com mittee (and Chair of our National Organizing C om mittee ), and have servedthree term s as State Chair. I am apparen tly more fam iliar with the Peace and Freedom Party sections ofthe Elections Code than w hoever w rote this astonishing response to Ms. Mendocino.
I am even more astonished by some ofthe oral responses we have received from various people in your
office. For example, Charlene Castaneda (I think I got her name right) told one caller that the Secretaryof State's decision on whom to include was "irreversible." This is clearly contrary to th e plain language ofthe Elections Code: (EC6722) "Following this announceme nt, the Secretary of State m ay add to her orhis selection, but she or he may not delete any candidate whose name appears on the announced list."What part of this sentence does your office not understand? The code says names may be added , but
your office says they may not.
It appears to have esraped your office's attention that different standards are found in the code sectionfor each political party as to w hat nam es should be included. "Being referred to in the news m edia" is infact included in a section of th e Elections Code, but it is the section governing the Am erican Independe ntParty (EC6520 ). This was inten tiona lly n ot included in the Peace and Freedom Party section (EC672 0).So holding a candidate for the Peace and Freedom Party nom ination to the standard set for the
American Independe nt Party's candidates is clearly improper and u nlawful. Federal Election Comm ission
filings are mentioned - but not in the PFP section of the code. Several of our low-budget presidentialnominees have not in fact had a campaign office, but in the past this did not keep them off the ballot -presumably because the Secretary of State's staff read the Elections Code, and noted that this is not arequirement for PFP randidates.
I am going to leave aside for the mom ent the question of Peta Lindsay. Let me take up StephenDurham.At the tim e your anno uncement was m ade, he was a generally-recognized candidate for the PFPnomination throu ghout California (as you were correctly advised by State Chair CT . Weber). This is theONLY hurdle he was supposed to clear, according to our se ction of the code. But by dragging in c riteriafrom oth er parties' sections of the cod e, and doing a really sloppy job of research, you invented reasonsto omit him.While he only filed w ith the FEC some hours before your announcement was m ade, he had in fact filed at
the time the announcement was made. However, this was not really a requireme nt.At the time your announcement was made, he already had two premises (both the standard storefrontsusually used in campaigns, one in Los Angeles and one in San Francisco ) that served as campaignoffices. (He has others around the country as well.) But apparentiy no one in your office thought to callup his campaign and ask. I am sure they w ould have been happy to give you the addresses.Stephen Durham has a campaign website (though this is clearly not a legal requirement, as this codesection was adopted in 1975, when no one at all had a web site). You may find its address, and a link toit , on the Peace and Freedom Party website, along with links to the other three campaign websites.Could it actually be true that no one looked on our party website in their wonderfully exhaustive
research?

No debates among Peace and Freedom Party candidates have yet taken place, and this has almostalways been the case at this point on the presidential election year calendar. I am afraid you haveconfused us with the Republican Party. This is one reason why our code section does not mentionparticipation in debates as a criterion. Several debates are now scheduled (three in April, for example),and it is understood tha t Stehen Durham w ill participate in some oftho se.I have already demonstrated that media coverage is not a requirement in our code section. But in fact,
of course, Stephen Durham is mentioned in many media reports, and was from the date he announcedhis candidacy. Do your office computers not have a connection to Google? Mine does, and I can find anamazing number of reports, mentions, and even extensive articles. They are generally not in thebillionnaires' newspapers, but that is not where Peace and Freedom Party members look for informationabout their presidential candidates.
Whoever flubbed the job so shamefully in researching the legal criteria fo r Peace and Freedom Partypresidential preference primary candidates also seems to have overlooked the most important part ofthis section of the code (EC6721, "Secretary of State to send letter to central committees." It says thatthe SoS is to send a letter by first-class mail to each Peace and Freedom Party County Central Committee(addresses easily available both from the various Registrars of Voters, and through various links on ourwebs ite), by the 150th day before the primary e lection, "informing them that, while a response is not
required, any information they w ish to submit will be considered by the Secretary of State in thedeterm ination of candidates to be placed on the Peace and Freedom Party presidential preferenceprimary ballot pursuant to Section 6720." Now that, I think , is as clear as anyone could make it. As ithappens, I have been the County Chair o fthe Peace and Freedom Party in Riverside County for manyyears (though I hope to turn that over to someone else soon), and over the years I have received anumber of such letters from previous Secretaries of State. But not this year. I didn't get such a letter,and none of my fellow county chairs around the s tate got such a letter. That is because the presentSecretary of State either was ignorant of this code section, or decided to de f/ it. No such letter was sent.Absent input from the various county central committees, the office of the Secretary of State apparently
decided to just w ing it - and crashed. Most of the county central committees would have advised theSecretary of State tha t there are four recognized candidates for our presidential nomination, and giventheir names. A few county central committees might have omitted one or another name, but the patternwould have been clear
Let me just make a point about Peta Lindsay, the presidential candidate (who certainly has a very activecampaign!) who is reportedly 27 years old. Her age is of course a factor in whether she is likely to ga inthe nomination, but that should be up to the voters and State Central Committee members who willmake the decision. In actual fac t, the very first p residential nominee of Ca lifornia's Peace and FreedomParty, back in 1968, was not yet 35 years of age. The Secretary of State at tha t time had the ballotsprinted without his name, and only the name ofthe Vice-Presidential candidate was on the ballot overthe Peace and Freedom Party name to represent our slate of electors. But the Secretary of State d id notput his heavy thumb on the scales in our intra-party consideration of whom to nominate. He acceptedthe slate of candidates for elector, and the Party's name went on the ballot.
I understand tha t the Secretary of State won a lawsu it a while back (brought by some AmericanIndependent Party leaders) seeking to force her to review the actual constitutional qualifications of
various parties' nominees. She won, on the basis that it is up to the parties to select their nominees anddo their own consideration of constitutional eligibility, and no business of the Secretary of State. Now theSecretary of State has taken the opposite tack, which I would think would open up this whole questionagain. I have already received reports that the AIP is delighted tha t the SoS has been so foolish as toreveal, in w riting, that she does in fact look at constitutional e ligibility - when it suits her You may besure that next time the birthers in the AIP bring suit, they w ill be armed with full information about thePeta Lindsay case, proving that the SoS only takes that position when she likes. You would be far wiserto accept the fact tha t Peta Lindsay is a serious and generally recognized candidate for our nomination,and go ahead and list her.
As your response to Ms. Mendocino was (rather strangely) anonymous, I do not know who wrote or sent

it . So I am sending this e-mail to the same address from which i t came, and also sending blind copies toat least a dozen other people who work in the Secretary of State's office, in hopes that someone w illread it and respond to me.
I would truly appreciate being advised that someone has, at las t, read the relevant sections of theElections Code, and recognized that the Secretary of State may add to the list of presidential preference
candidates she is putting on the ballot. While the campaigns are preparing to demand ballot placementthrough petition, this is a big burden that they don't need. It should be perfectly clear by now, to any butthe most wrong-headed and stubborn, that all four candidates are in fact recognized throughoutCalifornia as candidates for the Peace and Freedom Party nom ination. This is the only requirement in theElections Code, and the two omitted candidates should be added.
I would appreciate a response. -Kevin Akin , member of the Peace and Freedom Party CaliforniaExecutive Committee

Dear Ms. Mendicino:
Thank you for co ntacting the Secretary of State about th e in dividua ls in the Peace and Freedom
Party who were not included in the Secretary of State's Generally Recognized Presidential
Candidates List for th e June 5, 2012, Presidential Primary E lection.
To determine whe ther a person is "generally recognized" as actively runn ing for president, th e
Secretary of State's office looks at whether a candidate is actively running a presidential
campaign, such as having a campaign office, a campaign web site, making Federal Election
Commission filings, partcipating in debates, and being referred to in the news media. Absentemb arking on or com pleting any of these basic tasks, a person certainly could not be considered
a "generally recognized" candidate.
In addition, the Secretary of State's office reviewed Peta Lindsay's website where the
can dida te states she is 27 years ol d. Since the Unite d States Co nstitu tion states "...n eith er shall
any Person be eligible to tha t Office who shall not have attained to th e Age of thi rty five
Years...", Peta Lindsay does not qualify as a presidential candidate forthe June 5, 2012,
Presidential Primary Election.

A ll That Is Wrong vvith Georgia State Judge Michael M . IVlalihi's Decision that Putative President
Obama Is a "Natural Born Citizen"
All That Is Wrong with Georgia State Judge Michael M . iVlalihi's Decision that Putative President
Obama Is a "Natural Bom Citizen" By iVlario Apuzzo, Esq. February 3, 2012
Georgia State Administrative Law Judge, Michael M. Malihi, issued his decision on Friday, February 3,
2012, finding that putative President, Barack Obama, is eligible as a candidate for the presidential primary
election under O.C.G.A. Sec. 21-2-5(b). The decision can be read here,
http://obamareleasevourrecords.blogspot.com/2012/02/iudge-malihi-niles-against-plaintiffs.html. 1 must
enter my objection to this decision which is not supported by either fact or law.
The Court held: "For purposes of this analysis, this Court considered that President Barack Obama was
bom in thc United States. Therefore, as discussed in Arkeny [sic meant Ankeny], he became a citizen at
birth and is a natural bom citizen."
But there is no evidence before the Court that Obama was bom in the United States. The court can only
rest its findingof fact on evidence that is part of the court record. The judge tells us that he decided the
merits of the plaintiffs' claims. But he does not tell us in his decision what evidence he relied upon to
"consider[]" that Obama was bom in the United States. The judge "considered" that Obama was born in
the United States. What does "considered" mean? Clearly, it is not enough for a court to consider
evidence or law. It must make a finding after having considered facts and law. The judge simply does not
commit to any finding as to where Obama was born. Using the word "considered" is a cop out fromactually addressing the issue. Additionally, we know from his decision that neither Obama nor his
attorney appeared at the hearing let alone introduced any evidence of Obama's place of birth. We also
know frorn the decision that the judge ruled that plaintiffs' documents introduced into evidence were "o f
little, i f any, probative value, and thus wholly insufficient to support Plaintiffs allegations." Surely, the
court did not use those "insufficient" documents as evidence of Obama's place of birth. Nordoes the
judge tell us that he used those documents for any such purpose. The judge also does not tell us that the
court took any judicial notice ofany evidence (not to imply that it could). The judge did find that Obama
has been certifiedby the state executive committee of a political party. But with the mies of evidence of
superior court applying, this finding does not establish anyone's place of birth. Hence, what evidence did
the judge have to rule that Obama is bom in the United States? The answer is none.
The court did not engage in its own thoughtful and reasoned analysis of the meaning of an Article 11
"natural bom Citizen," but rather relied only upon Ankeny v. Govemor of the State of Indiana, 916
N.E.2d 678 (Ind. Ct.App. 2009), transfer denied, 929 N.E.2d 789 (2010), a state-court decision which
erred in how it defined a "natural born Citizen."
The court says that Ankeny is persuasive. The court does not show us why Ankeny is persuasive other
than to just provide some quotations from the decision. On the contrary, upon close analysis, we can see
that Ankeny is far from persuasive on the definition of a "natural born Citizen." The court's decision can
only be as sound as the Ankeny decision may be. But an analysis of that decision shows that it was
incorrectly decided as to its definition of an Article I I "natural born Citizen."
Presidendal eligibility is a national issue. Under our Constitution, like the States do not have power to
naturalize citizens, they also do not have power to change, add, or diminish the meaning of an Article I I
"natural born Citizen." See U.S. Tenn Limits, Inc. v. Thomton, 514 U.S. 779 (1995) (states have no

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/barnett-exparte-mar1512 164/186
authority to change, add, or diminish the eligibility requirements for members of Congress). Moreover, as
naturalization needs uniformity, so does the citizenship standard needed to be met by those wishing to be
eligible to be President. Hence, any state court decision on the meaning ofa "natural born Citizen" is not
binding on the nation in determining who is eligible to be President. Such a decision can only be
ultimately made by the U.S. Supreme Court which would make its decision the law of the entire nation.
The Ankeny case is a decision of the Indiana state court and not by the U.S. Supreme Court. For this
reason, the Ankeny decision is not binding on any court deciding the question of what is a "natural born
Citizen." But not only is the decision not binding, it also needs to be rejected for diminishing the meaning
of an Article I I "natural bom Citizen."
Apart from the Ankeny decision not being binding on the national issue of what is a "natural born
Citizen," the decision itself should be rejected on its merits.
The Constitution's text does not define a "natural bom Citizen." Yet, Ankeny did not even discuss what
the Founders' and Framers" original intent was in including the "natural born" Citizen clause in the
Constitution. It is a rule of constitutional constmction that we can leam what the Founders and Framers
intended by a certain term they included in the Constitution by discovering what their purpose was for
including the term in that document. But the Ankeny court told us what an Article I I "natural born
Citizen" is without examining the purpose for which the Founders and Framers included that clause in
Article I I , Section I . No where in the decision do we see that the court examined what the Founders' and
Framers' intent was for inserting the clause in the Constitution. The court conducted no independent
historical research or analysis regarding what the Founders and Framers iniended when they wrote the
"natural bom Citizen" clause in the Constitution in 1787. In fact, no where in the decision did the court
even raise the issue of the Founders' and Framers' intent when they wrote the clause in Article I I . It
provided no sources from the Founding period which in any way supports its holding. It discussed no
historical records or declarations of historical figures. So its decision as to what a "natural born" Citizen is
has no historical or legal support.
The Founders and Framers placed their tmst in "the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God." The
Declaration of Independence, para. 1. They came to learn what natural law was from studying ancient
history and its influence in the then modem world. They knew from studying this histoi7 and the greatpublicists, including Emer de Vattel who was the Founders' and Framers' favorite, that natural law
became the law of nations. And Vattel in Section 212 of his The Law o f Nations (London 1797) (Ist ed.
Neuchatel 1758) defined what a "natural bom Citizen" is. There he said that the "natives, or natural-born
citizens, are those bom in the country, of parents who are citizens." The Indiana state court in Ankeny did
not even discuss natural law and the law of nations. The Ankeny court just barely acknowledged Emer de
Vattel. It refers to Vattel's highly influential work, The Law of Nations, as "an eighteenth century treatise"
and discusses neither Vattel nor his work. Hence, it fails to understand the importance of the law of
nations and Vattel to the Founders and Framers and in the founding of our nation and their draftingo f our
Constitution in which they included the law of nations and not the English common law as part of Article
I I I "Laws ofthe United States." The court hardly knew who Emer de Vattel was. This should be an
indication to anyone who has seriously studied the Obama eligibility issue of how much reliance we can
place on the court's mling as to what a "natural born Citizen" is.
Judge Malihi also did not discuss the early naturalization statutes passed by our early Congresses. These
acts are critical in understanding the definition of a "natural born Citizen" because so many members of
the early Congresses were Founders and Framers. "The significance of such a statute passed by the firstCongress was, of course, the fact that many of the framers of the Constitution were Members of that firstCongress, as well as the fact that the first Congress's understanding of the meaning of the terms of the
Constitution was most contemporaneous in time with the document's adoption. One author has noted that
of the "Committee of Eleven," which first proposed to the Convention of 1787 the eligibility requirement

o f being a "natural bom" citizen, 8 of the 11 committee members were in that first Congress, and none
stated objections to or disagreement with the characterization of the term "natural bom" by statute by the
Congress." Christina Lohman, Presidential Eligibility: The Meaning of the Natural-Bom Citizen Clause,
36 Gonzaga Law Review 349, 371 (2000/2001). The Naturalization Acts of 1790, 1795, and 1802, prove
that only a child bom in the United States to U.S. citizen parents can be an Article I I "natural bom
Citizen." These acts treated children bora in the United States to alien parents as aliens themselves. These
acts also naturalized children bom abroad to U.S. citizen parents to be in 1790 "natural born citizens" and
then in 1795 and thereafter "citizens of theUnitedStates." By analyzing these acts, we can see that the
only child over whom Congress did not exercise its naturalization power was a child bom in the United
States to citizen parents. Hence, that child was the "natural bom citizen."
Ankeny misread Minor v. Happersett, 88 U.S. 162 (1875), saying that the Minor Court read Article I I and
the Fourteenth Amendment "in tandem," suggesting without any support that the latter somehow amended
the former. It also erred when it said that Minor "left open the issue of whether a person who is born
within the United States of alien parents is considered a natural bom citizen." The Court did no such
thing. Rather, the Court left open that question as it applies to a Fourteenth Amendment bom "citizen of
the United States," not an Article I I "natural born Citizen." Minor told us that there is no doubt who a
"natural bom Citizen" is, telling us that it is a child born in the country of two U.S. citizen parents. That
definition isbased on natural law and the law of nations and not the English cominon law. Indeed, this
confirms that the Founders and Framers gave us only one citizenship definition to be used to detennine
eligibility to be President. On the other hand. Minor added that there is doubt as to whether a child born in
the U.S. to alien parents was even a "citizen." The Framers gave Congress the power to make future
"citizens ofthe United States" through naturalization. Hence, the doubts have been over the definition
making persons the parents of a future "natural bom Citizen," not over the definition making the child of
those parents a "natural bom Citizen." It also confounded Minor and U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S.
649 (1898) as relying upon the English common law to define a "citizen" and a "natural born Citizen." It
said that Minor relied upon the English common law like Wong Kim Ark did when it did not do any such
thing, for it relied upon natural law and the law of nations which when applied in the United States
became "common-law" (the language that Minor used), which given the definition of a "natural-born
citizen" that the Court provided (including the citizenship of theparents as a condition of being a
"natural-bom citizen") could not have been English common law but rather was Ainerican common law.
In order to justify its decision, Ankeny gave authority and respect to the feudal English common law (per
Lord Coke and Lord Chief Justice Cockburn) on matters of U.S. citizenship and gave no such authority
and respect to our own American common law which Minor showed replaced that feudal law in the new
republic. In fact, there is not one word in the Minor decision which sounds in the language of the English
common law, yet Ankeny said that it relied upon English common law. It distinguished Minor in footnote
12 by saying that it "contemplates only scenarios where both parents are either citizens or aliens, rather in
the case of President Obama, whose mother was a U.S. citizen and father was a citizen of the United
Kingdom." But it did not explain how or why having one U.S. citizen parent rather than none would make
any difference when applying the "natural bom" Citizen clause.
Wong KimArk,
a Fourteenth Amendment citizenshipcase,
answered the questionleft
open in Minor,
which question concemed whether Wong Kim Ark was a "citizen of the UnitedStates," not an Article I I
"natural born Citizen." WongKim A rk relied upon the English common law, which historically had been
used to define British nationality and not American nationality, to define a "citizen of the United States."
But Ankeny mistakenly concluded that Wong Kim Ark mled Wong Kim A rk to be a "natural bom
Citizen" rather than a "citizen of the United States." Wong Kim A rk did no such thing. There is nothing
in Wong K im A rk decision that suggests that the Court declared Wong Kim Ark an Article I I "natural
bom Citizen" and therefore eligible to be President. The U.S. Supreme Court in Minor v. Happersett
(1875) already had told us that there was no doubt as to who could be a "natural bom Citizen." Since
there is no doubt and i f Wong Kim Ark was a "natural bom Citizen," the U.S. government would not

have argued that he was not even a "citizen ofthe United States," let alone a "natural born Citizen." Also,
Wong Kim A rk never said that Minor was wrong in defining a "natural bom Citizen" in the way that it
did under natural law and the law of nations and not the English common law.
Also, Ankeny relied strictly upon U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark and its historical sources for its decision on
what a "natural bom Citizen" is. They made a monumental declaration as to the meaning of the clause
based solely upon a 1898 U.S. Supreme Court case that did not even involve any dispute regarding the
meaning of a "natural bom Citizen" and which ironically confirmed Vattel's definition of a "natural bom
Citizen" as stated by Minor v. Happersett in 1875.
Ankeny incorrectly took the Wong Kim A rk holding that Wong was a Fourteenth Amendment bom
"citizen of the United States," and even though Wong itself provides a different definition for an Article 11
"natural bom Citizen," and even though Wong cites and accepts Minor's definition of a "natural born
Citizen," the Ankeny court equated the Wong "citizen of the United States" with an Article 11 "natural
bom Citizen" and said that the Wong decision stands for such a proposition when it does not. Hence, it
erroneously relied upon Wong Kim Ark, stating that the Court there declared Wong a "natural bom
citizen" when it only declared him a "citizen" of theUnited States. In Footnote 14 it said: "We note the
fact that the Court in Wong Kim A rk did not actually pronounce the plaintiff a 'natural bom Citizen' using
the Consdtution's Article I I language is immaterial." This is a fantastic statement given the care and
precision which the Founders and Framers used with their language in draftingand adopting the
Constitution, a circumstance which has always been recognized by our U.S. Supreme Court when called
upon to interpret the Constitution. Additionally, Wong Kim Ark itself distinguished between a child born
in the country to one or two alien parents and a child bom in the country to citizen parents, telling us that
while both are "citizens," only the latter is a "natural born Citizen." Wong said: "The child of an alien, if
bom in the country, is as much a citizen as the natural-bom child of a citizen, and by operation of the
same principle.' p. 22, note." Wong Kim Ark, at 666-67 (citing and quoting Binney's 1853 pamphlet on
citizenship).
Ankeny erroneously conflated an Article I I "natural bom Citizen" with a Fourteenth Amendment "citizen
of the United States." Article I I , Section 1, Clause 5 and other parts of the Constimdon are clear in
distinguishing between a "natural bom Citizen" and a "Citizen of the United States." The text oftheFourteenth Amendment defines a "citizen ofthe United States," not a "natural born Citizen." Even i f we
were to give them any controlling effect which they do not have, there is also nothing in the legislative
debates which indicates that the amendment was designed to change the meaning of an Article I I "natural
bom Citizen." We cannot just forget about the distinction made by the Framers in Article I I between a
"natural bom Citizen" and a "Citizen of theUnited States." Just ruling someone to be a "citizen of the
United States" does not necessarily mean that the person is a "natural born Citizen," for "citizens of the
United States" are made up of "natural born Citizens" and naturalized "citizens of the United States." The
latter are naturalized either "at birth" or after birth. "Natural born Citizens" are citizens by virtue of
natural law. Other U.S. citizens are citizens by virtue of positive law which in Wong Kim Ark was "by
virtue ofthe first clause of the fourteenth amendment." Wong Kim Ark, at 686.
Ankeny as did Wong Kim A rk also mistakenly relied upon Inglis v. Sailors' Snug Harbor, 28 U.S. 99(1830). What the court did is cite and quote from Justice Story who was in the minority and whose
opinion was not accepted by the majority. The majority of the Court in Inglis, which included Chief
Justice John Marshall, did not rely upon the English common law jus soli mle but rather the law of nation
jus sanguinis rule when it held that i f thedemandant was bom in New York after July 4, 1776, his
minority incapacitated him from making any election as to which citizenship to chose and he therefore
inherited the character and election and therefore the citizenship of his father (father and mother) who, if
bom a British subject and i fhe continued that nadonal character as of the time of his son's birth, made the
son British also, subject to the son renouncing the citizenship chosen for him by his British father during

minority and choosing U.S. citizenship upon becoming an adult. Id . at 124 and 126. The majoritycited
and relied upon Vattel when arguing that a person has a right to elect what nation to be part of in time of
revolution. Id . at 122. Jusfice Story put forth the English cominon law jus soli mle for citizenship and
ruled that the damandant i f born in New York was an "Ainerican citizen" regardless of the citizenship of
his parents (Id. at 164 and 170). But Justice Story was in the minority. The majorityof the Court did not
adopt Justice Story's opinion and reliance on the English common law.
Both Ankeny and Wong Kim A rk also mistakenly relied upon that part of the dissenting opinion in Dred
Scott V. Sandford, 60 U.S. (19 How.) 393 (1856), which was not directed to the issue of slavery disabling
blacks from being citizens but rather directed to whether we defined U.S. citizenship under natural law
and the law of nations or under the English common law. This dissenting opinion did not carry the day
and was also rejected by the Minor court which in 1875 defined a "natural-bom citizen" as a child born in
a country to citizen parents.
Ankeny used English common law to define an Article I I "natural bom Citizen" when all U.S. Supreme
Court cases, including Minor and Wong Kim Ark, have used American cominon law to do so.
Ankeny said: "Although President Arthur's status as a natural bom citizen was challenged in the 1880
Presidential Election on the grounds that he was bom in Canada rather than Vermont, the argument v/asnot made that becauseArthur's father was an Irish citizen he was constitutionally ineligible to be
Presidenl." But the courl provided no evidence lhat anyone then was aware that when Chester Arthur was
bom, he was bom to an alien falher. Additionally, even i f anyone of any authority was aware that
Arthur's father when he was bom was an alien, one constitutional violation does not justify another.
Ankeny cited and quoted from Diaz-Salazar v. I.N.S., 700 F.2d 1156, 1160 (7lh Cir. 1983) in support of
its definilion of a "natural bom Cifizen" when the quesfion ofthe meaning of the clause did not exist in
that case and the only reference therein to a "natural born Citizen" was made by the court when it recited
the facts but not when it provided any legal analysis. It is incredible that the courl would give such weight
to such a statement of dicta and nol give any weight to the U.S. Supreme Court's definition of a "natural-
born citizen" in Minor.
The pro se plainfiffs in Ankeny claimed, among olher things, lhat Obama was not eligible to be President
under Article I I , Section 1. The court said that "persons bom within the borders of the United States are
'natural bom Cifizens' for Article I I , Section 1 purposes, regardless ofthe citizenship of their parents...."
The court affirmed the dismissal of plaintiffs' complaini on defendants' mofion that on ils face plaintiffs'
complaint failed to stale a claim upon which relief can be granted. What is also amazing about the
Ankeny case is that after i l went through ils explanation as lo what a "natural bom Citizen" is and while it
dismissed the plaintiffs' case in which they argued both that Obama has yet to prove that he was bom in
the United States (it called that claim a "non-factual assertionQ") and that even ifhe were so bom he still
fails lo meel the legal definition ofa "natural born Cifizen," it neilher held lhal Obama was bom in the
United Stales nor lhal he is a "natural bom Citizen." In fact, there was absolutely no evidence before the
court lhat Obama was bom in Hawaii. And as we have seen, there was also absolutely no evidence before
Judge Malihi showing the Obama was bom in the United States. Hence, the Ankeny opinion regarding
whether Obama is a "natural bom Citizen" is nothing more than an advisory opinion, for the Court never
mled that he was such. The court never addressed the question of whether he was born in Hawaii. No
evidence was presented lo the court whether he was "bom wilhin the borders of the Uniied Slates." The
court never even examined that issue. Hence, ils statement lhal "persons bomwilhin the borders of the
United Slates are 'natural bom Citizens' for Article I I , Seclion 1 purposes, regardless of the citizenship of
their parents" does nol prove that Obama was, in fact, bomwithin the borders of the United States" and
that he is Iherefore a "natural bom Citizen."

Ankeny was advisory on the "natural bom Citizen" issue because it gave us ils definilion ofa "natural
bom Citizen" bul never applied lhal definilion lo Obama's personal situation, l l resolved no real
controversy. After it pronounced what the law was, it needed to apply lhal law lo the facts. It needed to
find that Obama was bom in the United States and that he was thus a "natural born Citizen" lo give its
opinion any binding effect. It never made the finding that Obama was bom in the Uniied Slates. It never
said that such a fact was established by the evidence before the court. So its whole opinion on whal is a
"natural bom Citizen" is purely advisory.
To conclude lhal plaintiffsdid not state a sufficient claim given the court's mling as to what a "natural
bom Citizen" is, there would have to exist uncontroverted evidence that Obama was in facteligible lo be
President. The quesfion of presidential eligibility is a legal question which the court could examine on a
motion to dismiss a complaint for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. Bul in order to
make any conclusion as to whether plainfiffs adequately challenged Obama's eligibility, given the fact
that on a motion lo dismiss a complaint the court is supposed to "view the pleadings in the light most
favorable to the nonmoving party, with every reasonable inference constmed in the nonmovant's favor,
and given the court's own definition of whal is a "natural bom Citizen," the court had lo examine whether
Obama was "bom wilhin the borders ofthe United Slates." This legal hurdle shows that the court could
not decide the quesfion ofthe legal sufficiency of plaintiffs' complaini by simply examining its face
alone. Rather, the court needed evidence oulside the complaini (e.g. a birth certificale) which means thaithe courl would have had lo convert the motion to dismiss lo one for summary judginent.
Bul nol only was there no evidence presented to the Ankeny court showing that Obama was in fact bom
in the United States, the court never called for such evidence nor did it even make such a factual finding.By the court's own words, the citizenship of Obama's parents was not relevant. But surely the only
element of its "natural bom Citizen" test, that Obama was born in the United Slates, was critically
relevant. Yet the court dismissed the complaint for failure lo stale a claimwithoul any evidence lhal
Obama was bom in the United Slates. Hence, how can the court dismiss the complaint for failure lo slate
a claim? Rather, whal the court did is just by way of advisory opinion lell us whal i l believes lo be a
"natural bom Cifizen" without applying its definition lo the quesfion of whether Obama is conslitulionally
eligible. I f the court had addressed the place of birth issue, given ils definition of a "natural born Citizen,"
i l would have ended the live controversy. It did not do lhal so ils opinion is a mere advisory opinion withno application to a live factual controversy producing a just resolufion. Lastly, i f the court's decision had
nol been advisory, the nation today would know whelher Obama was or was not bom "within the borders
ofthe Uniied States."
The Ankeny plaintiffsmay have argued lhal place of birth did not matter, given the two-citizen parent
arguinent. But surely, they did not concede that Obama was bom in the Uniied States and the court did
not make a finding that they madeany such concession. Hence, once the court rejected the citizen-parents
element and relied strictly on the place of birth, it could not simply conclude lhal plaintiffs did nol slate a
claim, for the ultimate issue was always Obama's eligibility which they clearly stated in their complaint.
Again, the court was duty bound on a motion to dismiss on the face of the complaint lo give the non-
moving party every reasonable inference. 1 cannoi imagine, given lhat the court was well aware of the
issue of place of birth, the plaintiffs never conceded that Obama was born in the United Stales, the
ultimate issue was eligibility, and the requirement that a court faced with a motion to dismiss on the face
of a complaint is lo give the non-movanl the benefit of all reasonable inferences, the courl not treating a
complaini lhal says that Obama was not eligible as also encompassing the place of birth issue or in the
alternative not giving the non-moving pro se parfies the opportunity to amend their complaint.
The Ankeny court could have completely disposed of the case on an independent slate ground. There was
no need for the court lo journey into the waters of whal an Article I I "natural bom Citizen" is. Not being
satisfied with giving us its opinion on whal a "natural bomCitizen" is as i l pertains to persons bom in the

United Slates, the court in Footnote 15 even cautioned that while the quesiion of whelher someone born
oul ofthe UnitedSlates can be a "natural bom" Citizen was nol before i l , its decision should not be
interpreted lo mean that being bom in the Uniied States is the only way someone can be a "natural bom
Cifizen."
As we have seen, Ankeny is simply bad law for many reasons. The main one is that it rests on the
incorrect notion lhat Wong Kim A rk declaring that Wong was a "citizen of the United States" from the
moment of birth under the Fourteenth Amendment necessarily means that the Court said he was a "natural
bom Cifizen." Such a posifion is remarkable given that the Indiana court itself admitted in its own opinion
that it is aware that the Constitufion contains both "natural bom Citizens" and "citizens of the Uniied
Stales" and lhat the Wong holding did nol include "natural bom Citizen."
So, any citation to Ankeny v. Governor of Indiana is misguided for at least two reasons, and as we have
seen above there are many more. It read Minor v. Happersett as having doubts about who was a "natural
bom Citizen" when i l had no such doubt. Its doubts were only whelher a child bom in the U.S. to alien
parents was a "citizen" under the law existing prior to the Fourteenth Amendment and necessarilyalso
under that very amendment, l l also read Wong Kim A rk as resolving those non-existing doubts and
holding that Wong was a "natural born Cifizen."Bul Justice Gray only held that Wong was a "citizen of
the United States" under the Fourteenth Amendment. He never held lhat he was a "natural born Citizen."
So Wong, not addressing the issue, never resolved any doubts concerning what a "natural born Citizen"
is. In fact, the Court cited and quoted Minor v. Happersett's definition ofthe clause which was a child
bom in the couniry to citizen parents.
Judge Malihi finds that Obama "became a citizen al birth and is a natural born citizen." What he is saying
is lhat by the mere fact lhat Obama was a citizen at birth, he is a "natural bom Citizen." Bu l this is nol the
definition of a "natural born citizen." Judge Malihi's definifion must fail just on a textual basis. The
clause is "natural bom Citizen," not "bom Citizen." The "natural" must also be given meaning. And when
we do give "natural" meaning, we see that i l cannot be separated from the word of art and idiom, "natural
bom Cifizen" which meansa child bom in the couniry lo citizen parents.
The Founders and Framers looked for a cifizenship standard that would assure them that the Presidenl andCommander in Chief would have the most allegiance, attachment, and loyalty to the republic. A
citizenship test lhat depended only upon when a child became a cifizen would not be sufficient, for it
alone would nol say anything of how the child would be reared. But a lest that included lo whom a childwas bom and that provided some indication of how the child would be raised much better provided for
their needs forallegiance to the nation. For those reasons, a "natural born citizen" could not just depend
upon being declared a citizen from the moment of birth, which any positive law could declare. Rather, the
Founders and Framers included two natural componenis which were that the child wouldhave to be born
in the couniry lo citizen parents. This was the time-honored definition of a "natural bom Citizen" under
natural law and the law of nations and this is what theyaccepted.
A "born cifizen," "cifizen al birth," "citizen by birth" or "citizen from birth," ifhe or she does not satisfy
this original American common law definifion, is an Article I I "Cifizen of theUnited States" as definedby the Fourteenth Amendment, Congressional Acl, or treaty, but not an Article I I "natural bom Citizen"
as defined by natural law and the law of nations which definition is a child born in the country to citizen
parents. In other words, a "bom . . . citizen ofthe Uniied States" under the Fourteenth Amendment or
Congressional Act is simply a person bom in the United States and "subject to the jurisdiciion thereof"
As can be seen, in the Fourteenth Amendment there is no citizen parents requirement, bul there is a
"subject lo the jurisdiction thereof requirement. In contradistinction, in the "natural bom Citizen"
definition, there is a citizen parents requirement, but there is no "subject to the jurisdiciion thereof
requirement, for being born in the country lo citizen parents, such a child could not be bom olher than

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/barnett-exparte-mar1512 170/186
"subject to the jurisdiciion" of the Uniied States. Since the amendment is designed only to allow someone
lo become a member of the United Stales and nothing more, according to Wong Kim Ark there is no need
lo require citizen parents bul at least lo require that thc child be born "subjeci lo the jurisdiciion" of the
United Slates. Since a child that is bom in the United Stales lo cifizen parents will always be bom
"subject to the jurisdiciion" of the United Stales, we do not engage in "jurisdiciion" analysis when
exploring whether one is a "natural bom Citizen," but rather just look lo see that the person was born in
the United States to citizen parents. This is why Minor engaged in no "subject to the jurisdiciion" analysis
when examining Virginia Minor's citizenship slalus. On the other hand, since under Wong Kim Ark a
Fourteenth Amendment (or Congressional Acl) "bom . . . citizen of the Uniied Stales" can be bom in the
Uniied Slates to one or two alien parents, Wong Kim Ark instmcts that we must do a "subjeci lo the
jurisdicfion" analysis which is whal it did of Wong. A ll this tells us that there is a fiindamental
constitutional difference between an Article II "natural bom Citizen," who is bom within the sole, full ,
and complete legaL political, and military allegiance and jurisdicfion and therefore sole citizenship of the
United States and a Fourteenth Amendment "bom . . . citizen of the Uniied Slates" who is born with
divided allegiance, jurisdiction, and cifizenship.
I f any "bom citizen," "citizen at birth," "citizen by birth" or "citizen from birlh" does nol satisfy the
"natural bom Cifizen" definition, we cannot simply amend Article II by changing the definition of a
"natural bom Citizen" to one of these phrases. In other words, we cannot just lake an Arlicle 11 "Citizen
ofthe United States" as defined by the Fourteenth Amendment or Congressional Acl and convert that
person into an Arficle I I "natural bom Citizen" as defined by American common law which has itsbasis
in natural law and the law of nations. Rather, i f one is going to mainlain lhat he or she is an Article 11
"natural bom Citizen," then let he or she prove i l under the lime-honored definition of the clause. Lel us
nol accepl lhal the definition of an Article 11 "natural bom Citizen" has somehow been changed to some
olher phrase such as a "citizen at birth" or "citizen by birth" wilhout seeing any evidence of lhat ever
happening. Let us not because of political expediency take someone who may at best be a Fourteenth
Amendment "citizen ofthe United States" and convert that person inlo an Article I I "natural bom
Cifizen." The burden of proof is on those seeking to change the Constitution and its original and long
standing definition ofa "natural born Citizen," nol on those who are fighting to preserve, protect, and
defend them.
So as we can see, our U.S. Supreme Court has given the exact "natural born Citizen" clause only one
definition and that is a child bom in the country to citizen parents. See Minor v. Happersett (1875); U.S.
V. Wong Kim Ark (1898). This means lhat only a child bom in the United States lo two parents who are
either Article I I "natural born Citizens" or Fourteenth Amendment or statutory "born or naturalized . . .
citizens of the Uniied States" is an Article II "natural bom Cifizen." This is the consensus opinion of a
"natural born Citizen" as provided by our U.S. Supreme Court and Congress since the beginning of our
nation. Consequenfiy, a "Citizen oflhe United Stales" is any citizen so made by Act of Congress, treaty,
or other posilive law such as the Fourteenth Amendment. Indeed, while a Fourteenth Amendment "bom .
. . citizen of the United States" may be bom with dual and divided allegiance lo the United Slates, an
Article I I "natural bom Cifizen" is born only within the sole, f i i l l , complete, and undivided legal, political,
and militaryallegiance and jurisdiction of and sole citizenship in the United Stales.
A "natural bom Citizen" includes all those who are bom with no foreign allegiance and excludes all those
who are born with any foreign allegiance. On the other hand, a "citizen," "native-bom citizen," "bom
Citizen," or "citizen of the Uniied States" who is not a "natural born Citizen" can be born with foreign
allegiance but through posifive law is nevertheless naturalized lo be a "cifizen of the Uniied States" eilher
at birth or after birlh. Hence, a "natural born Citizen" has only one definition which vvas recognized
during the Founding and which has been confirmed by our U.S. Supreme Courl, Congress, and other
historical sources. That definition is a child born in the couniry lo cifizen parents. Satisfying this
definifion removes from the child foreign allegiance which may attach by birth on foreign soil (by jus
Mario Apuzzo, Esq. February 3, 2012 on the Malihi Georgia Decision Page 8 of 9

soli) or by birth to one or two foreign parents (by jus sanguinis). It is by satisfying this definition that one
is bom wilh no foreign allegiance and thus attached and loyal only to the Uniied States. Consequently, all
"natural bom Citizen[s]" are "citizens of the United States," bul nol all "citizens of the Uniied Slates" are
"natural bomCilizen[s]." Therefore, any "bom . . . citizen o f thc United Stales" under the Fourteenth
Amendment must still show lhal he or she satisfies the Ainerican common law definition of a "natural
bom Citizen" in order lo be considered a "natural bom Citizen." Failing to make lhal showing, a "born"
or "native bom" citizen under the Fourteenth Amendment is just lhal but not an Article I I "natural bom
Citizen."
Judge Malihi has nol made any findings of fact conceming the question of where Obama was bom.
Obama the candidate wants lo be Presidenl again. Under Arlicle I I , Section 1, Clause 5, Obama has the
burden of proof lo conclusively prove that he is a "natural born Citizen." As part of lhal burden, he has lo
conclusively prove that he was bom in the United Slates. Neither Obama nor his attorney appeared at the
hearing lo presenl any evidence on the issue. Judge Malihi found the plaintiffs' documentary evidence to
be insufficienl for whaiever purposes it could have been used. Nor did he find that that evidence, which
includes a paper copy of the computer scan of Obama's alleged long form birth certificate, lo be sufficient
to prove lhal Obama was bom in Hawaii. We can see from the exact words used by Judge Malihi lhat
Obama has failed to carry his burden to conclusively prove lhat he was bom in the United Stales. Judge
Malihi said lhal he "considered" that Obama was bom in the United States. We do not know what thismeans and it appears that Judge Malihi attempts to avoid the issue of whether he found that Obama was
bom in the United Stales. Clearly, "considered" does not mean found. Since Obama failed to cairy his
burden of proof as to his place of birth and Judge Malihi's decision actually confirms that fact, the
Georgia Secreiary of State should reject Judge Malihi's decision and rule on his own that Obama nol be
placed on the primary ballot.
Should the Georgia Secreiary of Stale find lhal there is sufficient evidence in the record which
conclusively shows that Obama was bom in the Uniied Slates, then he can slill find lhat Obama is slill nol
a "natural born Citizen." We have seen lhal Judge Malihi relies on Ankeny which is bad law when it
comes lo the definition of an Arlicle I I "natural born Citizen." He fails in nol giving controlling effecl to
the U.S. Supreme Court case of Minor which clearlydefined a "natural born citizen." Finally, Judge
Malihi incorrectly reads Wong Kim A rk and gives controlling effect to lhal incorrect reading. The lime-honored American common law definition of the clause is a child bom in the country lo citizen parents.
There is no dispute that Obama was bom to a non-U.S. citizen father (his father was a British cifizen) and
U.S. citizen mother. Being bom to an alien falher, Obama also inherited his father's British citizenship
under the British Nafionality A ct 1948. A ll this demonstrates that Obama was nol born in the fu l l and
complete legal, political, and mililary allegiance and jurisdiction of the United Stales. He is Iherefore not
an Article I I "natural bomCitizen" and cannot be placed on the Georgia primary ballot.

Plaintiffsallege that Defendant President Barack Obama does not meet Georgia's
eligibility requirements for candidacy in Georgia's 2012 presidential primary election.
Georgia law mandates that candidates meet constitutional and statutory requirements for
the office that they seek. O.C.G.A. § 21-2-5(ai). Mr. Obama is a candidate for federal
.office who has been certified by the state executive committee of a political party, and
therefore rnust, under Georgia Code Section 21-2-5, meet the constitutional and statutory
qualifications for holding the Office of the President of the United States. Id. The United
States Constitution requires that a President be a "natural born [c]itizen." U.S. Const, art.
I I , § 1, cl . 5.
As required by Georgia Law, Secretary of State Brian Kemp referredPlaintiffs'
challenges to this Court for a hearing. O.C.G.A. § 21-2-5(b). A hearing was held on
January 26, 2012. .The record closed on February 1, 2012. Plaintiffs Farrar, Lax, Judy,
Malaren, and Roth and their counsel Orly Taitz, Plaintiffs Carl Swensson and Kevin
Richard Powell and their counsel J. Mark Hatfield, and Plaintiff David P. Welden ahd his
counsel Van R. Irion, all appeared and answered the call of the case. However, neither

I. Evidentiary Arguments of Plaintiffs Farrar, et al.
Plaintiffs Farrar, Lax, Judy, Malaren, and Roth contend that President Barack
Obaiiia is not a natural born citizen. To support this contention. Plaintiffs assert that Mr.
Obama maintains a fraudulently obtained social security number, a Hawaiian birth
certificate that is a computer-generated forgery, and that he does not otherwise possess
valid U.S. identification papers. Further, Plaintiffs submit that Mr. Obama has previously
held Indonesian citizenship, and he did not use his legal name on his notice of candidacy,
which is either Barry Soetoro or Barack Obama Soebarkah. (Pl.s' Am. Compl. 3.)
At the hearing. Plaintiffs presented the testimony of eight witnesses and seven
exhibits in support of their position. (Exs. P-1 through P-7.) When considering the
testimony and exhibits, this Court applies the same rules of evidence that apply to civil
nonjurycases in superior court. Ga. Comp. R. «& Regs. 616-l-2-.18(l)-(9). The weight
to be given to any evidence shall be determined by the Court based upon its reliability
and probative value. Ga. Comp. R. &. Regs. 616-1-2 .18(10).
The Court finds he testimony of the witnesses,as well as the exhibits tendered, to
be of little, if any, probative value, and thus wholly insufficient to support Plaintiffs'
allegations.'' Ms. Taitz attempted to solicit expert testimony fi-om several of the
witnesses without qualifying or tendering the witnesses as experts. See Stephens v. State,
219 Ga. App. 881 (1996) (the unqualified testimony of the witness was not competent
evidence). For example, two of Plaintiffs' witnesses testified that Mr. Obama's birth
^ Originally, Ms. Taitz indicated to the Court that she would offer the testimony of seven witnesses.
However, during her closing argument, Ms. Taitz requested to testify. Ms. Taitz was swom and began her
testimony, but shortly thereafter, the Court requested that Ms. Tatiz step-down and submit any further
testimony in writing.
The credibility of witnesses is within tlie sole discretion of the trier of fact. In non-jury cases that
discretion lies with the judge. See Mustang Tramp., Inc. v. W.W. Lowe & Sons, Inc., 123 Ga. App. 350,
352(19.71).

certificate was forged, but neither witness was properly qualified or tendered as an expert
in birth records, forged documents or document manipulation. Another witness testified
that she has concluded that the social security number Mr. Obama uses is fraudulent;
however, her investigatory methods and her sources of information were not properly
presented, and she was never qualified or tendered as an expert in social security i-aud, or
fi-aud investigations in general. Accordingly, the Court cannot make an objective
threshold determination of these witnesses' testimony without adequate knowledge of
their qualifications. See Knudsen v. Duffee-Freeman, Inc., 95 Ga. App. 872 (1957) (for
the testimony of an expert witness to be received, his or her qiialifications as such must
be first proved).
None of the testifying witnesses provided persuasive testimony. Moreover, the
Court finds that none of the written submissions tendered by Plaintiffs have probative
value. Given the unsarisfactory evidence presented by the Plaintiffs, the Court concludes
that Plaintiffs' claims are not persuasive.

II . Application of the "Natural Bom Citizen" Requirement
Plaintiffs allege that President Barack Obama is not a natural bom citizen of the
United States and, therefore, is not eligible to run in Georgia's presidential primary
election. As indicated supra, the United States Constitution states that "[n]o person
except a natural bom Citizen... shall be eligible for the Office of the President . . . ."^
U.S. Const, art. U, § 1, cl. 5.
For the purpose of this section's analysis, the following facts are considered: 1)
M r. Obama was bom in the United States; 2) Mr. Obama's mother was a citizen of the
United States at the time of his birth; and 3) Mr. Obama's father was never a United
States cifizen. Plaintiffs contend that, because his father was not a U.S. citizen at the time
o f his birth, Mr. Obama is constitutionally ineligible for the Office of the President of the
United States. The Court does not agree.
In 2009, the Indiana Court of Appeals ("Indiana Court") addressed facts and
issues similar to those before this Court. Arkeny v. Governor, 916 N.E.2d 678 (Ind. Ct.
App. 2009). In Arkeny, the plaintiffs sought to prevent certification of Mr. Obama as an
eligible candidate for president becausis he is not a natural bom citizen. Jd. at 681. The
plainfiffs argued, as the Plaintiffs argue before this Court, that "there's a very clear
distincfion between a 'cifizen of the United States' and a 'natural bom Cifizen,' and the
difference involves having [two] parents of U.S. cifizenship, owing no foreign
allegiance." Id. at 685. The Indiana Court rejected the argument that Mr. Obama was
" The definition of this clause has been the source of much debate. See, e.g., Gordon, IVho Can Be
Presidenl o f the UnitedStates: The Unresolved Enigma, 2i M d. L. Rev. 1 (1968)j Jill A. Pryor, Note, The
Natural-Born Citizen Clause and Presidential Eligibility: An Approach f o r Resolving Two Hundred Years
o f Uncertainty, 97 Yale L.J. 881 (1988); Christina S. Lohman, Presidential Eligibility: The Meaning ofthe
Natural-Born Citizen Clause, 36 Gonz. L. Rev. 349 (2000); William T. Han, Beyond Presidential
Eligibility: The Natural Born Citizen Clause as a Source o f Birthright Citizenship, 58 Drake L. Rev. 457
(2010).

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/barnett-exparte-mar1512 179/186
ineligible, stating that children bom within the United States are natural bom citizens,
regardless of the cifizenship of their parents. Id. at 688. This Couit finds the decision
and analysis ofArkeny persuasive.
The Indiana Court began its analysis by attempring to ascertain the definition of
"natural bom citizen" because the Constitution does not define the term. Id. at 685-86;
See Minor v. Happersett, 88 U.S. 162, 167 (1875) ("The Consfitution does not, in words,
say who shall be natural bom citizens. Resort musf be had elsewhere to ascertain that.");
see also United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649 (1898) (noting that the only
mention of the term "natural bom citizen" in the Consfitution is in Article II, and the term
is not defined in the Constitufion).
The Indiana Court first explained that the U.S. Supreme Court has read the
Fourteenth Amendment and Article II (na:tural bom citizen provision) in tandem and held
that "new citizens may be bom or they may be created by naturalization." Id. at 685
(cifing Minor, 88 U.S. at 167); See U.S. Const, amend. X I V , § I. ("All persons bom or
naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdicfionthereof, are citizens of the
United States . . . . " ) . In Minor, the Court observed that:
At common-law, with the nomenclature of which the fi-amers of the
Consfitufion were familiar, it was never doubted thait all children bom in a
country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their
birth, cifizens also. These were natives, or natural-bom citizens, as
distinguished from aliens or foreigners. Some authorities go further and
include as citizens children bom within the jurisdiction without reference
to the citizenship of their parents. As to this class there have been doubts,but never as to the first. For the purposes ofthis case it is not necessary to
solve these doubts.
Id : at 167-68. Plainfiffs ask this Court to read the Supreme Court's decision in Minor as
defining natural bom citizens as only "children bom in a coimtry of parents who were its
8/2/2019 Barnett ExParte Mar15_12
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/barnett-exparte-mar1512 180/186
citizens." 88 U.S. at 167. However, the Indiana Court explains that Minor did not define
the term natural bom citizen. In deciding whether a woman was eligible to vote, the
Minor Court merely concluded that children bom in a country pf parents who were its
citizens would qualify as natural bom, and this Court agrees. The Minor Court left open
the issue of whether a child bom within the United States of alien parent(s) is a natural
bom citizen.
Next, the Indiana Court looked td United States v. Wong Kim Ark, in which the
Supreme Court analyzed the meaning of the \yords "citizen of the United States" in the
Fourteenth Amendmerit and "natural bom citizen of the United States" in Article ll to
determine whether a child bom in the United States to parents who, at the fime of the
child's birth, were subjects of China "becomes at the time of his birth a citizen of the
United States, by virtue of the first clause of the fourteenth amendment...." Id. at 686
(citing Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. at 653). The Indiana Court determined that the two
provisions "must be interpreted in the light of the common law, the principles and history
of which were familiarly known to the fi-amers ofthe constitution." Id . (citing Wong K im
Ark, 169 U.S. at 654). The Indiana Court agreed that "[t]he interpretation of the
constitution of the United States is necessarily influenced by the fact that its provisions
are framed n the language of the English common law, andare to be read in the light of
its history." Id . (citing Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. at 655) (intemal citafion omitted). The
Wong Kim Ark Court extensively examined the common law of England in its decision
and concluded that Wong Kim A rk, who was bom in the United States to alien parents.
8/2/2019 Barnett ExParte Mar15_12
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/barnett-exparte-mar1512 181/186
became a citizen of the United States at the time of his birth.^ Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. at
705.
^ The Wong Kim A rk Court explained:
The fundamental principle of the common law with regard to English nationality was birth
within the allegiance, also called "ligealty," "obedience," "faith" or "power," of the King. The
principle embraced all persons born within the King's allegiance and subject to his protection.
Such allegiance and protection were mutual . . . aind were not restricted to natural-bom
subjects and naturalized subjects, or to those who had taken an oath of allegiance; but were
predicable of aliens in amity, so long as they were within the kingdom. Children, bom in
England, of such aliens, were therefore naUiral-bom subjects. But the children, bom within
the realm, bf foreign ambassadors, or the children of alien enemies, bom during and witliin
their hostile occupation of part of the King's dominions, were not natural-bom subjects,
because not bom within the allegiance, the obedience, or the power, or, as would be said at
this day, within the jurisdiction of the King.
169 U.S. at 655.
It thus clearly appears that by the law of England for the last three centuries, beginning before
the settlement of this country, and Continuing to the present day, aliens, vyhile residing in tlie
dominions possessed by the Crown of England, were wiihin the allegiance, tlie obedience, the
faith or loyalty, the protection, the power, the jurisdiction, of the English Sovereign; and
therefore every child bom in England of alien parents was a natural-bom subject, unless the
child of an ambassador or other diplomatic agent of a foreign State, or of an alien enemy in
hostile occupation of the place where tlie ch ild was bom.
Id . at 658. Further:
Nothing is better setded at the common law than the doctrine that the children, even of aliens,
bom in a country, while the parents are resident there under the protection of the govemment,
and owing a iemporar>' allegiance thereto, are subjects bybirth.
Id . at 660 (quoting Inglis v. Trustees o f Sailors' Snug Harbor, 28 U.S. (3 Pet.) 99, 164 (1830) (Story, J,,
concurring)). And:
The first section of the second article ofthe constitution uses the language, 'a natural-bom
citizen,' It thus assumes that citizenship may:be acquired by birth. Undoubtedly, this language
o f the constitution was used in reference to that principle of public law, well understood in
this country at the time of the adoption of the constitution, which referred citizenship to the
place of birth.
Id . at 662 (quoting Dred Scott v. Sanford, 60 U.S. (19 How.) 393, 576 (1856) (Curtis, J., dissenting)).
Finally:
A ll persons bom in the allegiance ofthe king are natural-bora subjects, and all persons bora in
the allegiance ofthe IJnited States are natural-bora citizens. Birth and allegiance go together.
Such is the rule of the common law, and it is the conimon law of this country, as well as of
England.
Id . at 662-63 (quoting United Slates v. Rhodes, (1866) (Mr. Justice Swayrie)).

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/barnett-exparte-mar1512 182/186
Relying on the language of the Constitution and the historical reviews and
analyses o f Minor and Wong Kim Ark, the Indiana Court concluded that
persons bom within the borders of the United States are "natural bom
citizens" for Article I I , Section 1 purpipses, regardless of the citizenship of
their parents. Just as a person "bom within the British dominions [was] a
natural-bom British subject" at the time of the framing of the U.S.
Constitution, so too were those "bom in the alleigiance of the United States
[] natural-bom citizens."
916 N.E.2d at 688. The Indiana Court determined that a person qualifies as a natural bom
cifizen i f he was bom in the United States because he became a United States cifizen at
birth.^
Fpr the purposes of thjs analysis, this Court considered that President Barack
Obama was bom in the United States. Therefore, as discussed in Arkeny, he becamea
cifizen at birth and is a natural bom cifizen. Accordingly,
C O N C L U S I O N
President Barack Obama is eligible as a candidate for the presidential primary
election under O.C.G.A. § 21-2-5(b).
SO ORDERED, February 3"*, 2012.
M I C H A E L M . M A L I H I , Judge
* This Court recognizes that the fVong Kim Ark case was not deciding the meaning o f "natural bom citizen"
for the purposes of determining presidential qualifications; however, this Court finds the Indiana Court's
analysis and reliance on thesecases to be persuasive.
