The birther issue started by prominent Pennsylvania Democrat Philip J. Berg has not gone away for President Obama.
It appears that there is a real chance that it might keep Obama off the ballot in Georgia.
President Obama ignored a subpoena issued by Judge Michael Malihi of the Georgia Office of State Administrative Hearings to address the matter at a Jan. 26 hearing.
The argument is now not that Obama was not born in this county but that his father wasn’t a citizen which would still make ineligible, say the plaintiffs, as per the Natural Born Citizen clause of the Constitution.
Here is how the left-leaning Huffington Post reported the hearing.
And here is the version by the right-leaning The National Patriot.
And how did the Philadelpia Inquirer cover it? Couldn’t find it, must’ve missed it.
Note the Huffington Post says that the final decision as to whether to allow Obama on the ballot is up to Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp.
Kemp is a Republican and he did not attempt to stop the hearing despite being asked by the Obama Administration to do so.
