Excerpts:
Last November, Georgia citizen David Weldon filed a challenge over Obama's qualifications to appear on Georgia's 2012 presidential ballot. Yesterday, Obama's motion to dismiss Weldon's challenge was denied by Judge Michael Malihi of Georgia's Office of State Administrative Hearings. The hearing is scheduled for January 26. (bold and underline emphasis added)
The Liberty Legal Foundation, headed by Constitutional attorney Van Irion, assisted Weldon and prepared the opposition for the motion to dismiss....
The matter before this Court has nothing to do with the birth place of the Defendant, nor does it assert that he is not a citizen of the United States. In fact, limited to this challenged primary election, the Plaintiff will stipulate that the Defendant was born in Hawaii, that the Defendant is a U.S. Citizen, and that the Defendant was Constitutionally-qualified to serve as a U.S. Senator. The Plaintiff makes no assertion regarding the Defendant's passports, or social security number, or any other fact related to the Defendant, other than the one fact asserted at the beginning of this opposition: that the Defendant's father was not a U.S. citizen.
Contrary to the Defendant's assertions, the issue presented by the Plaintiff is grounded on one uncontestable fact, and one clear definition from the U.S. Supreme Court. See Minor v. Happersett, 88 U.S. 162, 167 (1875).
Obama admitted, on his 2008 campaign website, that he was born a dual citizen, the son of a non-US citizen father who was here in the country legally but temporarily on a student visa, with the stated intention to return to his native Kenya to work in its government. Obama's dual citizenship was further confirmed by the State Department and Factcheck, although Factcheck dismissed it as irrelevant based on the opinion of an anonymous blogger."
