The following sections of Attorney Berg's Pennsylvania ballot challenge, which appear to be of particular interest and importance since they relate to Obama's birth in Kenya, are reproduced below:


5. Barack Hussein Obama a/k/a Barack Hussein Soetoro was born in Kenya
on August 4, 1961. At the time of his birth, his mother was only 18 years old and not old
enough to confer U.S. Natural Born Citizenship status to him.

6. Evidence points to the fact the Candidate, at the time of birth, was named .
Barack Hussein Obama, born at Coast Hospital in Mombasa, Kenya located in Coast
Objections to the Nomination of Obama for Office of the Presidency
Province. The Candidate's father was a Kenyan citizen and his mother a United States
citizen who was not old enough and did not reside in the United States long enough to
register the Candidate's birth in Hawaii as a "natural born" United States citizen.

7. Under the laws in effect between December 24, 1952 and November 14,
1986 (Obama was born in 1961), a child born outside of the United States to one citizen
parent-and• one- foreign-national;- coulclacquire -"natural born" United-States-citizenship-if -- .-
the United States citizen parent had been physically present in the United States for ten
[10] years prior to the child's birth, five [5] of those years being after age fourteen [14].
See Nationality Act of 1940, revised June 1952; United States o(America v. Cervantes-
Nava, 281 F.3d 501 (2002), Drozd v. IN.S., 155 F.3d 81, 85-88 (2d Cir.1998), United
States v. Gomez-Orozco, 188 F.3d 422,426-27 (7th Cir. 1999), Scales v. Immigration and
Naturalization Service, 232 F.3d 1159 (9th Cir. 2000), Solis-Espinoza v. Gonzales, 401
F.3d 1090 (9th Cir. 2005). Obama's mother was only eighteen P8] when Obama was
born in Kenya and therefore, did not meet the age and residency requirements for her
child to have acquired. "natural born" U.S. citizenship even under the stf;l.tute. Thus,
Obama is not a "natural born" United States citizen. The law that applies to a birth
abroad is the law in effect at the time of hirth, Marquez-Marquez a/k/a Moreno v.
Gonzales, 455 F. 3d 548 (5th Cir. 2006), Runnett v. Shultz, 901. F.2d 782, 783 (9th
Cir.1990) (holding that "the applicable law for transmitting citizenship to a child born
abroad when one parent is a U.S. citizen is the statute that was in effect at the time of the
child's birth").

8. Obama's Kenyan grandmother, Sarah Obama, has repeatedly stated Obama
was born in Kenya and she was present in the hospital during his birth. Bishop Ron
McRae, who oversees the Anabaptists Churches in North America, and Reverend K weli
Shuhubia, had the opportunity in or about October 2008 to interv~ew Sarah Obama.
Reverend K weli Shuhubia went to the home of Sarah Obama located in Kogello, Kenya.
-- --ReverendKweli-Shuhubiacalled-Bishop-McRae-from-Ms;Obama's-home-and placed the
call on speakerphone. Bishop McRae asked if it was okay to tape the conversation,
which permission was granted. Because Ms. Obama only speaks Swahili, Reverend
K weli Shuhubia and another grandson of Ms. Obama's translated the telephone
interview. Bishop McRae asked Ms. Obama where Soetoro was born; Ms. Obama
answered in Swahili and was very adamant that Soetoro was born in Kenya. BishopMcRae
asked Ms. Obama if she was present during her grandson's birth and Ms. Obama
answered, "Yes".

USJF and Philip Berg File Obama Eligibility Case in Pennsylvania

Obama State Ballot Challenge 2012
GeorgeM
2/29/2012

Excerpt:

"by Daniel Noe

"The latest state to hear arguments challenging President Barack Hussein Obama’s eligibility to be on its 2012 Presidential ballot is Pennsylvania.

Last week, Attorney Philip J. Berg officially challenged the nomination petition of Obama. A lifetime resident of the state of Pennsylvania, Mr. Berg was born and raised in the city and county of Philadelphia. Interestingly enough, he is a registered Democrat. It is important to remember that questions regarding Obama’s eligibility were first asked by supporters of the current Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, when she was running for the Democratic presidential nomination four years ago.

The United States Justice Foundation (USJF) is funding this project, and USJF Executive Director Gary Kreep will be co-counsel in this case.

Mr. Berg is concerned that Obama is not a natural-born citizen per Article II, Section I, Clause 5 of the United States Constitution:

“No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President…”

Among the specific arguments Mr. Berg makes in support of his case include the following:

• President Obama was born in Kenya on August 4, 1961; at the time of his birth, his mother was only 18 years old and not old enough to confer U.S. Natural Born Citizenship status to him.
• Obama’s father was a Kenyan citizen and his mother a United States citizen who was not old enough and did not reside in the United States long enough to register her son’s birth in Hawaii as a “natural born” United States citizen.
• “Under the laws in effect between December 24, 1952 and November 14, 1986, a child born outside of the United States to one citizen parent and one foreign national could acquire “natural born” United States citizenship if the United States citizen parent had been physically present in the United States for ten years prior to the child’s birth, five of those years being after age fourteen.”
• Obama’s Kenyan grandmother, Sarah Obama, has repeatedly stated Obama was born in Kenya and that she was present in the hospital during his birth. She has stated this information in recorded telephone conversations.
• When Obama’s mother divorced his father and later remarried Lolo Soetoro (an Indonesian citizen), Mr. Soetoro adopted Obama as his own son. Under Indonesian law, when a male acknowledges a child as his son via signing an appropriate government document, it deems the son, in this case Obama, an Indonesian State citizen.
• Furthermore, under the Indonesian adoption law, once an Indonesian citizen adopts a child, the adoption severs the child’s relationship to the birth parents, and the adopted child is given the same status as a natural child and the child takes the name of his step-father, in this case, Soetoro.
• “Since Indonesia did not allow dual citizenship, neither did the United States (since the United States only permitted dual citizenship when ‘both’ countries agree); and since Soetoro (Obama) was a “natural” citizen of Indonesia, the United States would not step in or interfere with the laws of Indonesia.”

After making these and other arguments, Mr. Berg concludes that Obama is an Indonesian citizen, and subsequently is not eligible to be President of the United States or a Candidate in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for the US Presidency. He also believes that Obama has not met all of the qualifications necessary to hold the Office of President of the United States."
