[Apologetics] Is Obama Constitutionally Qualified to Be President?

[Stephen Korsman]

Hi

To what extent is this a real problem?  To what extent should us
non-Americans consider this sort of thing to be real news, or extreme fringe
activity that comes from conspiracy theorists who wear tin foil beanies?

http://www.americasright.com/2008/12/berg-to-file-emergency-injunction-today.htmlshows
an image of an "open letter to Barack Obama" that claims various
things, including the following:

• You have posted on the Internet an unsigned, forged and thoroughly
discredited, computer-generated birth form created in 2007, a form that
lacks vital information found on any original, hand signed Certificate of
Live Birth, such as hospital address, signature of attending physician and
age of mother.
• Hawaii Dept of Health will not confirm your assertion that you were born
in Hawaii.
• Legal affidavits state you were born in Kenya.
• Your grandmother is recorded on tape saying she attended your birth in
Kenya.
• U.S. Law in effect in 1961 denied U.S. citizenship to any child born in
Kenya if the father was Kenyan and the mother was not yet 19 years of age.
• In 1965, your mother legally relinquished whatever Kenyan or U.S.
citizenship she and you had by marrying an Indonesian and becoming a
naturalized Indonesian citizen.

God bless,
Stephen

Interesting Speculation: Is Obama Constitutionally Qualified to Be
President? <http://blog.catholic-convert.com/?p=2532>

This has become a topic of discussion. The United States Constitution has
guidelines on who can be president. It says:

No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States,
at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the
Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who
shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen
Years a Resident within the United States.

Apparently, according to some, Obama has been unable or unwilling to prove
that he is an American citizen according to the requirements of the
Constitution. Some feel this could cause a constitutional crisis. I just
post this as an interesting news item. Interesting, hum!
