Plaintiffs allege as follows:
JURISDICTION AND VENUE
1. This action is founded upon the Constitution of the United States of America.
As such, this Court has jurisdiction over defendants under 28 U.S.C. § 1346(a)(2).
2. This is a civil action claiming violations of the First, Fifth, Ninth, Tenth, and
Twentieth Amendments of the Constitution of the United States of America. As such, this
Court has jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1331.
3. This action seeks declaratory relief. As such, this Court has jurisdiction under
28 U.S.C. § 2201(a) and 28 U.S.C. § 2202. ENDNOTE 1.
4. This action seeks injunctive relief. As such, this Court has jurisdiction under
28 U.S.C. § 1343(a)(3) and 28 U.S.C. § 1343(a)(4).
5. This action is in the nature of mandamus, and seeks to compel those
defendants which are branches of the United States Government and “officer[s] or
employee[s] of the United States or any agency thereof” to perform their duties owed
plaintiffs under the First, Fifth, Ninth, Tenth, and Twentieth Amendments of the
Constitution of the United States. As such, this Court has jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. §
1361. Additionally, this court has ancillary jurisdiction over this action sounding in
mandamus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1651(a), for this Court already has original
jurisdiction under other statutes already cited herein.
6. This action is also in the nature of a petition for quo warranto under the Ninth
and Tenth Amendment to the Constitution, asking that Obama be declared under Article
II to be ineligible to hold the Office of President and Commander in Chief and that he be
removed from that Office if sworn in and be permanently barred from holding that office.
2
This Court has jurisdiction over this petition because plaintiffs claim that their right to
this writ emanates from their rights and powers under the Ninth and Tenth Amendment.
Additionally, this court has ancillary jurisdiction over this petition for quo warranto
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1651(a), for this Court already has original jurisdiction over
plaintiffs’ other claims herein.
7. This is a civil action in which an officer or employee of the United States
acting in his official capacity or under color of legal authority and an agency of the
United States are defendants. Three of the plaintiffs reside in this judicial district and the
fourth plaintiff resides within the Third Circuit. No real property is involved in this
action. Venue is therefore proper under 28 U.S.C. § 1391(e).
PARTIES
Plaintiffs
8. Plaintiff, Charles F. Kerchner, Jr., is a citizen of the United States and a
resident of the State of Pennsylvania. He served 33 years in the U.S. Naval Reserves as
both a Commissioned Officer and an Enlisted person. He enlisted with the U.S. Naval
Reserve in 1962 as an E-1. He served two years active duty as an enlisted person after
which he returned to the U.S. Naval Reserves serving with various drilling reserve units.
As a drilling member of the U.S. Naval Reserves, he was advanced at various times until
reaching Chief Petty Officer (E-7) in 1970. In 1976 he was commissioned as a U.S.
Naval Reserve Officer and was appointed as an Ensign (O-1), serving as a Commissioned
Officer for 19 years and was promoted to the rank of a full Commander (O-5) in 1992.
He served on active duty for training and drilled with various reserve units until he retired
in 1995. Plaintiff took a solemn oath to support and defend the Constitution of the
3
United States. ENDNOTE 2. It is plaintiff’s duty to support and defend the United
States Constitution pursuant to that oath. Additionally, while currently not statutorily
subject to recall, by Executive Order of the President or an act of Congress in an extreme
national emergency, the President and/or Congress could order people in plaintiff’s status
of service to be recalled. Should plaintiff be recalled to active duty, he would need to
know whether the President and Commander in Chief who may be giving him orders is in
fact the legitimate President and Commander in Chief and therefore obligate him to
follow those orders or risk being prosecuted for disobeying such legitimate orders.
ENDNOTE 3. In addition, under the Ninth and Tenth Amendments and as a United
States citizen, it his unalienable right to come forward to support and defend the
Constitution. ENDNOTE 4. He is a registered member of the Republican Party. He
voted in the General Election of November 4, 2008.
9. Plaintiff, Lowell T. Patterson, is a citizen of the United States, a resident of
the County of Burlington, and State of New Jersey. Under the Ninth and Tenth
Amendments and as a United States citizen, it his unalienable right to come forward to
support and defend the Constitution. He is the State Chairman of the Constitution Party
for the State of New Jersey and the Eastern Region (13 states) Chairman for that same
party. He voted in the General Election of November 4, 2008.
10. Plaintiff, Darrell James LeNormand, is a citizen of the United States, a
resident of the County of Middlesex, State of New Jersey. Under the Ninth and Tenth
Amendments and as a United States citizen, it his unalienable right to come forward to
support and defend the Constitution. He is a registered member of the Republican Party.
He voted in the General Election of November 4, 2008.
4
11. Plaintiff, Donald H. Nelsen, Jr., is a citizen of the United States, a resident
of the County of Middlesex, State of New Jersey. He is a New Jersey State Corrections
Officer, employed at East Jersey State Prison. As such, plaintiff took a solemn oath to
support and defend the Constitution of the United States. It is plaintiff’s duty to support
and defend the United States Constitution pursuant to that oath. He is a former member
of the Marine Reserves and Army National Guard. As such, plaintiff took a solemn oath
to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. ENDNOTE 2. It is
plaintiff’s duty to support and defend the United States Constitution pursuant to that oath.
Under the Ninth and Tenth Amendments and as a United States citizen, it his unalienable
right to come forward to support and defend the Constitution. He is a registered member
of the Republican Party. He voted in the General Election of November 4, 2008.
Defendants
12. Defendant, Barack Hussein Obama II (Obama), a/k/a Barry Soetoro, is the
President Elect of the United States of America. On November 4, 2008, Obama defeated
John McCain in the general election with 365 electoral votes to McCain's 173.
ENDNOTE 5. His term of office as President of the United States is scheduled to begin
after he is sworn in as the forty-fourth President of the United States at approximately
noon EST on January 20, 2009, in an inaugural ceremony at the U.S. Capitol. He is
being sued in his official capacity as President Elect before taking the oath of Office or
President of the United States after taking that oath and in his individual capacity.
13. Defendant, United States of America (U.S.A.), is a federal constitutional
republic comprised of fifty states and a federal district and in which majority rule is
tempered by minority rights protected by law. ENDNOTE 6.
5
14. Defendant, Congress of the United States (Congress) is the bicameral
legislature of the federal government of the United States of America, consisting of two
houses, the Senate and the House of Representative. Article I of the Constitution vests all
legislative power in the Congress.
15. Defendant, United States Senate (the Senate), is the upper house of the
bicameral United States Congress which is the legislative branch of government of the
U.S.A.
16. Defendant, United States House of Representatives (the House), is the
lower house of the bicameral United States Congress which is the legislative branch of
government of the U.S.A.
17. Defendant, Richard B. Cheney (Cheney), is the forty-sixth and current Vice
President of the U.S.A. As Vice President, Cheney is also the President of the United
States Senate. He is being sued in his official capacity as Vice President, President of the
United States Senate, Presiding Officer of the Joint Session of Congress, and in his

United States House of Representatives and in her individual capacity. As Speaker of the
House, she is also constitutionally the presiding officer of all Joint Sessions of Congress
except for the Joint Session for counting Electoral votes and certifying, ratifying, and/or
confirming the election of the President.
INTRODUCTION
Nature of the Action
6
19. "Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the
consent of the governed." ENDNOTE 7.
20. Under our Constitutional Republic form of democratic government which
adheres to the rule of law, not even the President Elect, President, or Congress is above
the law. ENDNOTE 8.
21. No court of the United States has ever decided the merits of any legal action
against a Presidential candidate, President Elect, or sitting President challenging his
eligibility to be President based on the “natural born Citizen” requirement of Article II
Section 1 of the United States Constitution.
22. To date, no state or federal election official, nor any government authority,
has investigated or held hearings and verified that Obama ever established and proved
conclusively that he is an Article II “natural born Citizen.”
23. Plaintiffs have filed this action against the non-Obama defendants for their
violation of plaintiffs’ First Amendment right not to have their right to petition their
government abridged by their failure to address their First Amendment petitions and
grievances filed with them regarding Obama’s Article II eligibility to be President.
24. Plaintiffs are also filing and seeking remedies under the Fifth Amendment for
the non-Obama defendants’ denying them a liberty interest without procedural due
process of law, depriving them a liberty interest without substantive due process of law,
depriving them of equal protection of the law under the Fifth Amendment, and for their
violation of plaintiffs’ constitutional rights under the Ninth and Tenth Amendment.
25. This action is brought against the non-Obama defendants because, in light of
the great public outcry and plaintiffs’ petitions for redress of grievances regarding
7
whether Obama is an Article II “natural born Citizen” and otherwise qualified for the
office of President, they violated plaintiffs’ Constitutional rights under the Twentieth
Amendments by failing on behalf of the plaintiffs and other concerned Americans as their
elected representatives to properly vet and verify pursuant to their Constitutional
obligation under the Twentieth Amendment, Section 3 whether Obama was born in the
United States and is an Article II “natural born Citizen” so as to meet that provision’s
citizenship eligibility requirements to be President and to allow and to continue to allow
Obama to occupy the Office of President even though he is not qualified to be President
under Article II because he is not a “natural born Citizen.”
26. By so failing and given that the non-Obama defendants with much less public
demands and grievances, fully investigated, authorized legal scholars to conduct legal
research and to present their findings in the form of a legal opinion, held public hearings
on the question of whether Republican Presidential candidate John McCain is an Article
II “natural born Citizen” and eligible to be President, and even passed Senate Resolution
511 proclaiming that McCain is an Article II “natural born Citizen,” defendants also
deprived the plaintiffs of procedural due process and equal protection under the Fifth
Amendment in failing to utilize, on their behalf as their democratically elected
representatives and through whom plaintiffs speak and assert their constitutional rights,
the same procedure they used to investigate McCain and to also use the Constitutional
and statutory procedure that exists under the 20th Amendment and 3 U.S.C. Sec.15,
respectively, for the purpose of conclusively verifying that President-Elect Obama was
born in the United States and he is an Article II “natural born Citizen” and otherwise
constitutionally qualified for that office and in failing to treat plaintiffs the same as they
8
treated other similarly situated members of the public who had expressed their concerns
for whether McCain was an Article II “natural born Citizen.”
27. By way of mandamus, plaintiffs seek a court order compelling the non-
Obama defendants to adequately investigate and hold Congressional hearings under the
Twentieth Amendment on the question of whether defendant Obama was born in the
United States and is an Article II “natural born Citizen” and otherwise qualified to be
President under that Article.
28. This action in the form of mandamus is brought against defendant Obama to
compel him to prove that he was born in the United States, that he is an Article II “natural
born Citizen,” and that he is Constitutionally eligible to hold the Office of President and
Commander in Chief,
29. This action in the form of declaration of rights and quo warranto is brought
for the Court to declare that Obama is not Article II qualified to hold the Office of
President and Commander in Chief and therefore that the non-Obama defendants
removed and permanently barred him from that Office.
The Constitutional Republic
30. Under our Constitutional Republic (not a pure democracy), a President Elect
must qualify under Article II of the Constitution even if a majority of people in the
General Election select/elect his electors, those electors then in turn elect that candidate,
and the candidate is thereby declared to be the President Elect.
31. It is the Congress, sitting in Joint Session, under the powers given to it by the
Twentieth Amendment, which assures plaintiffs that the President Elect is indeed an
9
Article II “natural born Citizen” and otherwise constitutionally qualified to hold the
Office of President.
Not an Article II “Natural Born Citizen”
32. Obama has not met his burden or otherwise adequately proving that he is an
Article II “natural born Citizen” of the United States of America.
33. Unlike all previous elected Presidents of the United States that were born
after 1787, Obama is not an Article II “natural born Citizen” of the United States of
America.
Not Born In the U.S.A.
34. Obama has not met his burden or otherwise adequately shown that he was
born in the Unites States of America.
35. Obama’s campaign posted the electronic image of a "Certification of Live
Birth" (COLB) online in June 2008 after numerous questions arose regarding his birth
place and citizenship status, but this document is not the best evidence (ENDNOTE 9)
and does not sufficiently prove that he was born in Hawaii because at the time of his birth
Hawaii granted such documents to parents whose children were born outside the United
States. Obama’s spokespeople and lawyers have routinely called a Certification of Live
Birth (COLB) a “Birth Certificate” which is a false statement. Rather than producing
the original and authentic, long-form, Certificate of Live Birth (BC) in support of any of
his motions to dismiss actions filed against him, he has incorrectly asked the courts to
take judicial notice of public news reports that are erroneous, misleading, and incomplete
as proof that he was born in Hawaii. ENDNOTE 10.
10
36. Under Hawaiian law, a computer-generated Certification of Live Birth
(COLB) is only prima facie evidence of a birth event and is not a Certificate of Live
Birth (Birth Certificate). ENDNOTE 11.
37. When we consider the following contradictory evidence, the prima facie
quality of the Certification of Live Birth (COLB) must fall.
38. The Hawaii Department of Home Lands does not accept a Certification of
Live Birth (COLB) as conclusive evidence for its Homeland program. From its web site:
"In order to process your application, DHHL utilizes information that is found only on
the original Certificate of Live Birth, which is either black or green. This is a more
complete record of your birth than the Certification of Live Birth (a computer-generated
printout). Submitting the original Certificate of Live Birth will save you time and money
since the computer-generated Certification requires additional verification by DHHL."
39. The Certification of Live Birth (COLB) does not provide the name of the
hospital where the birth occurred, the name of the doctor or other person assisting in the
birth, or other independently verifiable contemporaneous facts, all of which are vital
corroborating evidence as to where a birth has taken place.
40. The Hawaiian law that existed in 1961 when Obama was born (Chapter 338-
178 Hawaiian Statues which applied for all births prior to 1972), which allowed parents
to register their foreign born babies in Hawaii, was lax in terms of assuring the integrity
of the documents and did not adequately safeguard against fraud in the process.
41. On October 31, 2008, Hawaii Health Department Director Dr. Fukino made a
public statement that she has “personally seen and verified that the Hawai'i State
Department of Health has Sen. Obama's original birth certificate on record in accordance
11
with state policies and procedures." But this statement does not, however, verify that
Obama was born in Hawaii, and as explained above, under Hawaiian law, policies, and
procedures it is quite possible that Hawaii may have a birth record of a person not born in
Hawaii or the United States.
42. The document image posted on the internet is a scan of the Certification of
Live Birth (COLB) document that can be easily manipulated and changed using modern
computer software technology. The public and independent document examiners have
not been allowed by Obama to see, handle, or examine the source paper document, the
COLB.
43. The last two document examiners opine that the digital image and the source
paper documents COLB used to make the images were forged. This doubt alone is
sufficient to require Obama to produce the original, long form, Certificate of Live Birth
(Birth Certificate).
44. Obama's Kenyan paternal step-grandmother, Sarah Hussein Obama, “a very
intelligent and educated citizen of Africa, a former teacher and respected evangelist
throughout Africa” (October 27, 2008 Affidavit of Bishop Ron McRae), on October 16,
2008 stated twice to the repeated question that she was present at Obama’s birth in
Mombasa, Kenya, per Affidavits of Bishop Ron McRae and of Rev. Kweli Shuhubia
(actual name withheld for safety reasons) filed in the legal action by Philip J. Berg v.
Barack Hussein Obama et al., Fed. Cir. D.PA., Civil No: 08-cv-04083. According to
Kweli Shuhubia’s affidavit, upon being pressured by family members who were present
during the interview, she changed her statement and then said Obama was born in
Hawaii. The step-grandmother never recanted that she was present during Obama’s birth
12
and neither Obama’s grandmother nor anyone else present during the interview could
explain how the step-grandmother could be present during Obama’s birth if he was born
in Hawaii.
45. Following Kweli Shuhubia’s interview with Obama’s step-grandmother, he
traveled to Mombasa, Kenya to the hospital where Obama was born. He then states in his
affidavit: “I interviewed personnel at the hospital in which Senator Obama was born in
Kenya. I then had meetings with the Provincial Civil Registrar. I learned there were
records of Ann Dunham giving birth to Barack Hussein Obama, III in Mombosa [sic],
Kenya on August 4, 1961. I spoke directly with an Official, the Principal Registrar, who
openly confirmed the birthing records of Senator Barack H. Obama, Jr. and his mother
were present, however, the file on Barack H. Obama, Jr. was classified and profiled. The
Official explained Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. birth in Kenya is top secret.”
46. The Kenyan Ambassador to the United States, Peter N.R.O. Ogego,
acknowledged on November 6, 2008 during a radio interview with Detroit radio talk-
show hosts Mike Clark, Trudi Daniels, and Marc Fellhauer on WRIF's "Mike In the
Morning," when specifically asked about "President-Elect Obama[‘s]" birth place that he
was born in Kenya and that his birth place was already a "well-known" attraction.
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index. php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=82031. The
Ambassador later said that he believed that the interviewers were asking him about
Obama’s father and not the son.
47. Obama's half sister, Maya Soetoro Ng, and Obama have made conflicting
statements concerning in which Hawaiian hospital he was born. She says he was born in
13
Kapiolani Hospital in Hawaii but Senator Obama in his biography posted on Wikipedia
says he was born in Queens Hospital in Hawaii.
48. There is no Hawaiian hospital that has verified and confirmed that baby
Obama and/or his mother were present in any such hospital at the time of Obama's
alleged birth in Honolulu.
49. Attorney Philip Berg has served subpoenas on the hospitals mentioned by
Obama and his half sister as the place where Obama was born to obtain the medical
records which would show the fact of Obama being born in either one of them but Obama
has refused to sign the consent that the hospitals need to release the documents.
50. Not a single person has come forward, not a doctor, nurse, hospital
administrator, nor any one else who may have been a witness to Obama’s alleged Hawaii
birth.
51. For reasons known only to him and relying on state privacy laws, Obama has
refused to publicly release his original Certificate of Live Birth (BC) even though in his
book, Dreams from My Father, he stated that he has it.
52. Fightthesmears.com, Factcheck.org, and Snopes.com have not provided any
credible and sufficient corroborating evidence on the birth place issue after the
questionable COLB was posted on the internet and discredited by at least two digital
image and document examiners.
53. Obama has refused all efforts to have him release the following documents,
relying on sealing of records and/or privacy laws: Punahou High School records,
Occidental College records, Columbia College records, Columbia Thesis paper, Harvard
College records, Selective Service Registration, medical records, Illinois State Senate
14
records, Illinois State Senate schedule, Law practice client list, Certified Copy of the
original, long form, Certificate of Live Birth (Birth Certificate), Harvard Law Review
articles that were published, University of Chicago scholarly articles, exit and entry
immigration records covering all of Obama's travels out of the United States; passports;
and record of baptism, if any;
54. Obama stated publicly in San Francisco to a group of voters in 2008 that he
traveled to Pakistan and we know that at the time such travel was prohibited to
Americans using an U.S. passport.
55. Obama has used various other names in the past, one of which is Barry
Soetoro and there is no known evidence that he did any legal name change to Barack
Obama.
56. Other than a lone and questionable newspaper birth announcement, there does
not exist one known corroborating document of any kind showing that Obama was born
in Hawaii.
57. Obama has remained silent and has not declared publicly after his COLB was
put into question that he was born in Hawaii.
58. It has been reported through various media channels that the Kenyan
government has sealed Obama's Kenyan records.
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=79174
59. No member of the media, political party, the Executive Branch of
Government, Congress, other political institution, Judiciary, or law enforcement entity
has publicly stated that he or she has any independently verifiable and credible source
documents that show that Obama was born in Hawaii.
15
60. New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson publicly stated during the 2008
campaign that Obama was an “immigrant.”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5OUdj_YIpo.
61. Despite all the law suits that have been filed against Obama, he continues to
refuse to release his original, long form, Certificate of Live Birth (Birth Certificate) and
has opted instead to spend large sums of money using lawyers to defend himself and to
cause the courts and litigants to expend large amounts of time and resources pursuing
litigation against him and other third parties. He relies on procedural and other threshold
arguments such as jurisdiction, justiciability, standing, political question, separation of
powers, mootness, and ripeness rather than simply produce his original Certificate of
Live Birth (Birth Certificate) and make a motion for summary judgment with prejudice as
to the merits so that no other future cases can be brought against him and others on that
issue which would then put an end not only to the ongoing drain of money, time, and
other resources but also to the great public outrage that continues to brew regarding his
birth place controversy.
62. This Himalayan mountain of contradictory evidence is sufficient to cause the
prima facie presumption of the COLB to fall.
63. Obama therefore now has the burden to come forward with competent
evidence to prove that he was born in Hawaii.
64. To date he has failed to come forward with that competent evidence.
65. Obama has never publicly produced any type of copy of his Certificate of
Live Birth (Birth Certificate). ENDNOTE 12.
16
66. Obama has decided, for whatever reason, not to release a bona fide copy of
his original Certificate of Live Birth (Birth Certificate) in its complete long form,
showing in which hospital (or house) he was born and the name of the doctor (or medical
person or mid-wife) who attended to his birth, and other independently verifiable facts
thereon.
67. Obama wants to be President of the United States and if a Hawaiian
Certificate of Live Birth (Birth Certificate) exists as his campaign has stated, he should
simply order that it be made available to the general public, investigative authorities, and
document examiners to settle his birth place controversy.
68. But Obama has refused any such public disclosure and/or independent
examination.
69. The governor's office in Hawaii said there is a birth certificate there but
rejected requests for access and left ambiguous its origin and its contents.
70. It is not known whether the Certificate of Live Birth (Birth Certificate) on
file with the Hawaii Department of Health indicates a Hawaiian birth or whether it was
generated after someone registered a Kenyan or other foreign birth in Hawaii.
Obama’s Father Not a U.S. Citizen
71. Presumably Obama’s mother was a U.S. citizen at the time of his birth.
72. Obama's father, Barack Obama Sr., at the time of Obama’s birth was a British
subject/citizen subject to the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom, and would have handed
down British citizenship to his son, Obama. ENDNOTE 13.
73. Obama publicly admits his father was not a U.S. citizen and was a British
subject and then a Kenyan citizen when Kenya became an independent country.
17
74. Hence, at the time of his birth on August 4, 1961, Obama was born to a U.S.
citizen mother but not a U.S. citizen father.
75. Under the definition of an Article II “natural born Citizen,” Obama therefore
cannot be a “natural born Citizen.” ENDNOTE 14.
Obama’s Adoption
76. Obama was adopted by his mother’s second husband, Lolo Soetoro, an
Indonesian citizen, and taken to Indonesia. It is likely that Obama lost whatever
citizenship he had and became a citizen of Indonesia upon his adoption.
77. There also are questions raised about Obama's move to Indonesia when he
was a child and his attendance at school there when only Indonesian citizens were
allowed in that nation's schools. His school records indicate his citizenship as
Indonesian.
78. Obama also stated publicly that he traveled to Pakistan in the 1980s. But
such travel was forbidden to American citizens at that time. There therefore exists a
legitimate question as to what type of passport and declaration of citizenship Obama used
to gain entry into Pakistan.
Obama May Be An Illegal Alien
79. There exists a possibility that Obama could be an illegal alien.
80. Obama has yet to adequately prove that he was born in the United States.
81. Obama has publicly conceded that his father was born in Kenya and a British
subject/citizen at the time of Obama’s birth which precluded Obama from gaining any
U.S. citizenship from his father at the time of his birth.
18
82. At the time of his birth in 1961, under the applicable statute Obama also
could not gain U.S. citizenship from his U.S. citizen mother due to her being only 18
years old at the time of his birth. ENDNOTE 15.
83. There also exists the possibility that if Obama had U.S. citizenship at birth, he
lost that citizenship when his mother’s second husband, Lolo Soetoro, an Indonesian
citizen, adopted/acknowledged him as his son and along with his mother took him to live
in Indonesia and when he later traveled as a foreign citizen with a foreign passport to
Pakistan after the age of majority (18) when he was approximately 20.
The Vetting of Obama on Behalf of the Plaintiffs and the People
84. No one in any official capacity has fully vetted the eligibility and
Constitutional qualifications of Obama to serve as President and Commander-in-Chief of
our military.
Vetting by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) on Behalf of the Plaintiffs and the
People
85. The Democratic National Committee (DNC) did not adequately vet and
verify Obama’s Article II “natural born citizenship” by having a disinterested third party
adequately examine his original long-form birth records in the vaults in Hawaii,
communicate to the DNC as to its origins and content, and provide to the DNC a certified
true copy of Obama’s original long form Certificate of Live Birth (BC).
86. The DNC could have requested and obtained certified copies but never did.
87. The DNC has not signed any affidavit that it investigated and conclusively
proved that Obama is an Article II “natural born citizen” of the U.S.
19
88. Attorney Berg demanded of the DNC that it vet Obama’s Article II “natural
born Citizenship” status prior to the DNC Convention but they ignored him at that time.
89. Nancy Pelosi merely signed an affidavit to most states certifying that Obama
was nominated.
90. In most States, Pelosi never addressed the issue of his Article II “natural born
citizenship” qualifications to serve in any documents the DNC gave to the respective
states.
91. No where in the nominating documents that Pelosi provided to most States
does it say he is qualified to serve as President per the Article II Constitutional
requirements, if he is elected. ENDNOTE 16.
Vetting by the Secretaries of State on Behalf of the Plaintiffs and the People
92. Numerous voters and concerned citizens have turned to the offices of the
Secretaries of States to find out what they did to properly vet Obama.
93. They have since learned that most of the Secretaries of the States (SOS) did
not vet Obama either when they were asked to place Obama on the ballot.
94. Routinely, the SOS simply allowed Obama to sign a form to be placed on the
ballot without any independent verification that he was qualified to be President and that
his statements regarding his eligibility were truthful and correct.
95. These offices told concerned citizens that the political parties were
responsible for vetting Obama, saying “It’s not my job,” “It’s someone else’s job,” “It‘s
the political party’s job.”
96. These offices simple took Obama’s and his campaign’s word that he was
eligible for the office of President.
20
97. Thus Obama was placed on the ballot without any SOS vetting him to
determine if he is an Article II “natural born Citizen.”
Vetting by the Federal Election Commission on Behalf of the Plaintiffs and the People
98. Numerous voters and concerned citizens have contacted the Federal
Elections Commission (FEC) and found out that they also did not verify Obama’s Article
II eligibility. FEC representatives have stated that they only deal with financial aspects of
the campaign and not Obama’s Article II eligibility qualifications for the office of
President.
Vetting by the Media on Behalf of the Plaintiffs and the People
99. The “People” were not able to vet Obama properly due to the media not
aggressively attempting to and obtaining the original records located in but not limited to
Hawaii, Kenya, Indonesia, and Pakistan.
100. The Main Stream Media (MSM) did not do sufficient investigative reporting
which caused the plaintiffs and other concerned Americans to be denied the needed
information to verify whether or not Obama is an Article II “natural born Citizen.”
101. Fightthesmears.com, FactCheck.org, and Snopes.com, internet web sites,
were relied upon as the final arbiters of the truth but those organizations only provided to
the American people superficial and incomplete information on Obama provided by the
Obama campaign.
102. Obama continues to rely on such internet sources which are not authoritative
or competent evidence for providing the answer to the question of whether Obama is an
Article II “natural born Citizen.”
21
103. Obama has also used his right to privacy to prevent the media and American
people from gaining access to many documents which could reveal important information
about his place of birth and/or his Article II “natural born Citizenship” status.
ENDNOTE 17.
104. Thus the plaintiffs and the people were deprived of the so called “4th branch
of our government,” a well-informed media to dig into all the facts at the source where
original records are kept so they could inform and assure the plaintiffs and the American
people that Obama was qualified to be President.
105. Obama has sealed most of his important documents that would shed light on
his place of birth and/or his Article II “natural born Citizenship” status and the Main
Stream Media (MSM) has not challenged him as to why he did so. ENDNOTE 18.
106. The media also did not use its authority to seek the unsealing of any of
Obama’s sealed records.
107. This is not the usual role the media takes in this country.
108. The Main Stream Media (MSM) left plaintiffs and other Americans in the
dark and was routinely silent for the most part on this issue and ignored plaintiffs’
eligibility challenges and that of other Americans.
Vetting by the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) on Behalf of the Plaintiffs and
the People
109. The Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD), the non-partisan entity
which organized the Presidential and Vice Presidential debates for the last five prior
general elections, declares in its Candidate Selection Process written materials that its
goal is to educate the general public regarding who the candidates are.
22
110. Its announcement also states that it is obligated to conduct those debates in
keeping with all “legal requirements,” including the regulations of the Federal Election
Commission that the debate sponsor extends invitations to debate based on “pre-
established, objective” criteria. ENDNOTE 19.
111. The CPD then describes what the criteria are and, among other things, states
that only an Article II constitutionally qualified individual will be allowed to take part in
the Presidential debates.
112. Its rules go on to state that “evidence” that this requirement is satisfied is if
the candidate is, among other things, “a Natural Born Citizen of the United States.”
113. But simply stating what type of citizenship will satisfy the requirements of
Article II is not “evidence” that the requirement has been met, for simply confirming
what the standard is does not provide evidence that the citizenship status in fact exists for
a candidate or for a President Elect.
114. The flaw in the CPD rules is that they do not provide any evidentiary
standard which a candidate must meet in order to adequately satisfy the requirement that
he or she is an Article II “natural born Citizen” and otherwise constitutionally qualified to
hold the Office of President.
115. The CPD did not review Obama’s original Certificate of Live Birth (Birth
Certificate) or some other documents of comparable reliability and completeness to
adequately verify whether Obama was an Article II “natural born Citizen” and therefore
met its rules of debate.
116. Such a flaw in its rules and procedure greatly mislead the American public
and voters.
23
117. The potential for the CPD to have mislead the American public and voters is
even so much greater when we consider that its rules state that only a “Natural Born
Citizen of the United States” is allowed to debate and the CPD allowed Obama to debate
which would have lead the media, our political and social institutions, and other informed
members of the public to erroneously conclude based on the misleading CPD’s criteria
that the CPD adequately verified that Obama was in fact an Article II “natural born
Citizen.”
Vetting by the Electoral College On Behalf of the Plaintiffs and the People
118. The Electoral College received numerous letters urging its electors to review
the Article II “natural born Citizen” controversy involving Obama. ENDNOTE 20.
119. But the Electoral College did not vet the candidate after the people’s vote.
120. The electors merely relied on the actions of their respective Secretaries of
State who put Obama on the ballot, assumed he was Article II qualified, and “rubber
stamped” the vote of the people.
121. Since most of these people are party loyalists they of course were not going
to go against their own party and not elect Obama, even though under the Constitution,
and their sworn oath to support and defend it, they should not have voted for Obama
without investigating fully his presumed claim to Article II “natural born citizenship,”
especially given that Obama himself has never uttered this statement in public with his
own spoken words.
Vetting Through Litigation on Behalf of the Plaintiffs and the People
122. There is a long list of legal cases challenging Obama’s eligibility to be
President. ENDNOTE 21.
24
123. Many of those cases have been denied by both state and federal courts due
to the court’s finding, among other things, that the plaintiffs lacked standing to bring the
law suits.
124. Several of those cases have already reached the U.S. Supreme Court.
125. Over 60,128 letters from the public were sent to the U.S. Supreme Court
asking the Court to accept the pending cases and decide them on the merits. The most
recent campaign generated 12,096 messages.
http://wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=86325;
http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=86252.
126. Justices have so far declined to give any of the cases full hearings on their
merits. ENDNOTE 22.
127. To date the courts have denied legal challenges finding that plaintiffs lack
standing and for other procedural obstacles.
128. It appears that the courts have to date refused to decide the merits of the
eligibility challenges because they likely considered the question to be a “political issue”
and that Obama should have been vetted through and challenged via the political process.
129. But the political process has now ended and it failed to observe and uphold
the Constitution, even with the questions being asked by plaintiffs and many people to
properly vet Obama’s exact citizenship status.
When Obama Was “Elected” President
130. Obama became the President Elect when the Electoral College elected him
on December 15, 2008.
25
131. Obama also publicly claimed to be President Elect on and after December
15, 2008 and the media, spokespeople, and government officials referred to him as such.
132. Hence, Congress had sufficient time to "qualify" the President Elect
between December 15, 2008 and January 8, 2009 but they did not.
Vetting by Congress on Behalf of the Plaintiffs and the People
133. The Congress of the U.S. has never passed a resolution declaring that
Obama is an Article II “natural born citizen” of the U.S. similar to the one the Senate
passed with Senate Resolution 511 in April, 2008, for John McCain. ENDNOTE 23
134. The Congress exhibited an unconstitutional bias in how it utilized its
Constitutional powers and authority of investigation in favor of Obama and against
McCain.
135. The Congress responded to concerned citizens’ questions about McCain's
citizenship and ordered legal research on the matter and held hearings thereon.
136. Plaintiff Kerchner and concerned citizens wrote Congress numerous
grievance letters regarding Obama’s Article II citizenship status and some of these
citizens even filed lawsuits against Obama on the question of his Constitutional eligibility
but Congress did absolutely nothing to verify his exact citizenship status.
137. There was far less hue and cry from the people about McCain’s citizenship
status than about Obama’s, but Congress gave the people concerned about McCain’s
citizenship status due process and heard their grievances by requesting legal research on
his citizenship status by prestigious constitutional lawyers, conducting hearings, taking
testimony, and passing a resolution stating that McCain was a “natural born Citizen” but
26
did nothing for the plaintiffs and other concerned Americans concerning their petitions,
grievances, and questions about Obama's citizenship status.
138. Obama never went to Congress to clarify the flaws in his citizenship status
to serve as President and Commander in Chief.
139. So Congress has not properly investigated this issue concerning Obama as it
did for McCain.
140. Twentieth Amendment, Section 3, provides that Congress must fully qualify
the candidate "elected" by the Electoral College Electors as the President Elect.
141. Section 3 provides in pertinent part: “If a President shall not have been
chosen before the time fixed for the beginning of his term, or if the President elect shall
have failed to qualify, then the Vice President elect shall act as President until a President
shall have qualified; and the Congress may by law provide for the case wherein neither a
President elect nor a Vice President elect shall have qualified, declaring who shall then
act as President, or the manner in which one who is to act shall be selected, and such
person shall act accordingly until a President or Vice President shall have qualified."
142. Hence, the Constitution itself foresees the possibility that the nation could
have a President elect who fails to qualify.
143. If there existed any significant public doubt regarding his eligibility to be
President, Congress had the duty under the Twentieth Amendment, Section 3 to
conclusively verify whether Obama, once the Electors elected him to be the President
Elect, was qualified under Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution. ENDNOTE
24.
27
144. Congress is the elected representatives of the American people and the
people speak and act through them.
145. Hence, Congress had the duty under the Constitution to the plaintiffs and the
American people to verify the President Elect’s qualifications under Article II, Section 1,
Clause 5 as is indicated by the Twentieth Amendment, Section 3.
146. Congress is responsible for insuring the person they are going to legally and
constitutionally certify, ratify, and/or confirm as President of the United States and
Commander in Chief is fully and conclusively qualified under our Constitution.
147. Congress must insure that the Constitution is upheld and that the President-
Elect is qualified in the Constitutional sense and meets the three qualifications found in
Article II, Section 1, Clause 5.
148. It is critical that only an Article II qualified person be certified, ratified,
and/or confirmed and sworn in as President and Commander in Chief for the sake of
national security of the United States and because at some point any person or
government, foreign or domestic, could upon obtaining damaging evidence showing he is
not an Article II “natural born Citizen,” blackmail him to the detriment of the United
States.
149. No other political institution has a Constitutional duty to verify the
Constitutional qualifications of a President Elect.
150. Hence, the last political institution to make sure Obama is Article II eligible
and qualified to be the President was Congress under the Twentieth Amendment.
151. The Twentieth Amendment also provides procedure for what happens if the
President Elect does not qualify for the office to which he has been elected.
28
152. Obama, as the President Elect, was subject to the "qualification" clause of
the Twentieth Amendment from December 15, 2008, when the Electoral College elected
him.
153. Each member of the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate has a
constitutional duty under the Twentieth Amendment to the plaintiffs and the American
people to do his or her due diligence and demand all necessary records and question all
necessary witnesses to determine the true identity and Article II eligibility of any would-
be President.
154. On January 8, 2009, Congress in Joint Session certified, ratified, and/or
confirmed Obama as the next President of the United States even though he is not an
Article II “natural born Citizen.” ENDNOTE 25.
155. Hence, Congress had from December 15, 2008 to and including January 8,
2009 to hold a fact finding hearing and subpoena documents and investigate the
challenges publicly expressed by plaintiffs and thousands of other Americans regarding
whether Obama is an Article II "natural born Citizen" and which were even the subject of
numerous law suits filed in our nation’s courts. ENDNOTE 26.
156. Thus Congress had over 3 weeks to hold a public hearing in the Senate,
House, or both to investigate the issue but they did not.
157. When so much doubt has been expressed in the public arena about Obama’s
eligibility to be President, Congress had a constitutional duty to investigate and verify for
the sake of the Constitution and the plaintiffs and other concerned and frustrated
American people which it represents if Obama is Article II qualified by holding a
29
Congressional hearing and investigation on the matter with full subpoena power.
ENDNOTE 27.
158. Even though Congress was well aware of the thousands of people including
the plaintiff Kerchner who had petitioned Congress to make it aware so that it could
properly investigate Obama’s qualifications to be President (ENDNOTE 28) and that no
court of law had accepted any case raising the issue because of standing, the political
question doctrine, or some other procedural obstacle, Congress violated the Twentieth
Amendment by failing to assure that Obama meets the eligibility requirements of Article
II and certifying, ratifying, and/or confirming him as President at a time when there was
and continued to be such a national debate regarding Obama’s Article II eligibility to be
President.
159. Congress did not do its constitutionally required due diligence in protecting
the Constitution and the plaintiffs and the people before certifying, ratifying, and/or
confirming Obama to be President before the Joint Session of Congress on January 8,
2009.
160. At the time that Congress was faced with the certifying, ratifying, and/or
confirmation of the President Elect, all courts refused to decide the eligibility question on
the merits because the courts probably considered the matter was still in the political
sphere.
161. Congress knew that the courts were expecting it to resolved Obama’s Article
II eligibility question and should have taken the lead while the issue was still in the
political arena and not force the courts to later have to take action in this matter. Congress
as one branch of our government had its own sworn duty to uphold the Constitution and
30
should not have expected the judicial branch of government to resolve the question of
whether Obama is an Article II “natural born Citizen.”
162. Even though no court of law has to date been willing to decide the
underlying merits of the Obama qualification controversy, Congress could not simply
defer to the authority of the courts in not deciding such merits, for it has its own
constitutional duties to uphold.
163. The Joint Session of Congress could at least have requested the United
States Supreme Court to conduct an immediate emergency hearing on the matter and
report back its findings on this matter prior to the certifying, ratification, and/or
confirmation vote.
164. Some Members of Congress told concerned Americans who wrote to them
expressing their concerns regarding Obama’s Article II eligibility to be President that the
courts were the proper branch of government in which the question had to be decided,
some said that the Hawaii state officials had already verified or confirmed that Obama
was born in Hawaii, and some said that Congress had no power to investigate Obama’s
qualifications to be President. ENDNOTE 29.
165. Congress cannot and must not say that internet web sites such as
"Snopes.com" and "FactCheck.org" statements online and Obama's campaign's websites
and word are all they need to satisfy the Constitution and their due diligence to protect it
on behalf of the plaintiffs and the people.
166. But that is what Congress did and members even mentioned Snopes.com in
letters to constituents as proof that Obama is an Article II “natural born Citizen,” even
though Snopes.com never literally so stated. ENDNOTE 30.
31
167. Congress should have subpoenaed Obama’s original long-form birth records
in the sealed records in Hawaii, and also the alleged sealed birth records in Kenya in the
hands of the Kenyan government.
168. Congress should have subpoenaed the original, long form Certificate of
Live Birth (Birth Certificate), witnesses, and documents that are necessary to corroborate
Obama’s claim that he was born in Hawaii.
169. The Certificate of Live Birth (Birth Certificate) would have provided the
name of the hospital (or house) where the birth allegedly occurred and the name of the
doctor (or mid-wife) who delivered him and other vital corroborating information needed
to verify and confirm that Obama was in fact born in Hawaii.
170. Congress should have also subpoenaed or requested through diplomatic
channels Obama’s relatives in Kenya who allegedly witnessed Obama's birth in Kenya to
testify before Congress and/or subpoenaed any birth records in Mombasa Hospital or
other hospital in Kenya, or in the Kenyan government's possession, and/or in the British
Empire’s duplicate records in London since in 1961 Kenya was a colony and it is
believed that all hospital births in British colonies had duplicate records of the birth event
sent to London.
171. Congress should also have subpoenaed the Indonesian adoption records and
records concerning Obama’s travel to Pakistan on a non U.S. passport when he was
approximately 20 years old, Obama’s complete passport file currently in the possession
of the State Department, (ENDNOTE 31) and all other visas and travel documents for
his entire life under any alias or a/k/a names Obama may have had used. ENDNOTE 32.
172. But Congress did none of this and simply certified, ratified, and/or
32
confirmed Obama’s election without any questions, debate, investigation, or request for
objections and thereby did not address the plaintiff’s and the peoples’ grievance
regarding Obama’s Article II qualifications to be President.
173. Members of Congress had a right to stand, say “point of order, and object to
the counting of the vote and certifying, ratifying, and/or confirmation of Obama’s
election until such time that he can conclusively prove that he is qualified to serve as
President of the United States and Commander-in-Chief of our military.
174. Members of Congress had due notice of the plaintiffs’ and other concerned
Americans’ grievances and a duty to object to Obama’s certification, ratification, and/or
confirmation, and they should have stood up and said “point of order,” objected, and
demanded a full investigation of Obama’s citizenship status.
175. Vice President Cheney did announce that the Joint Session was meeting
pursuant to the Constitution and laws of the United States to verify the Certificate of
Votes and count the votes of the electors of the several states for President and Vice
President of the United States.
176. Without receiving any objections to the dispensing of the full reading of the
entire contents of the certificates, he called for the tellers to proceed with the reading of
the electoral votes from each state in alphabetical order by states and tally the vote.
177. He then started with Alabama and opened and presented each Certificate for
each state.
178. The tellers for each Chamber then examined the certificates and announced
the vote from each state.
33
179. Cheney then asked the tellers to count the total votes and provide the totals
to him as the President of the Senate.
180. He then announced the vote totals for each candidate for each office,
declared Obama and Biden the winners, and dissolved the Joint Session.
181. At no time did he call for objections after the vote tally was reported for
each state or at the end of the total vote for either office.
http://countryfirst.bravehost.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1843&p=7069&hilit=B
urris#p7265.
182. Pursuant to Title 3 of the U.S. Code, Cheney was required to openly call for
objections to each state’s vote after each individual state's vote is read. Cheney failed to
satisfy this minimum procedural requirement. ENDNOTE 33.
183. So not only did the Joint Session of Congress fail to vet and investigate
Obama’s qualifications to be President under the unique circumstances existing in the
public arena and given the petition of the plaintiffs and thousands of other people, but
Cheney violated 3 U.S.C. Sec. 15 by not openly calling for objections after each state’s
votes were announced.
184. On January 8, 2009, Congress committed an unconstitutional act of
certifying, ratifying, and/or confirming Obama, an ineligible person for President and
Commander in Chief of the United States under Article II.
185. While plaintiffs attempted to resolve their dispute with defendants through
the political process, their efforts have failed.
186. Congress has failed to exercise its Constitutional duty under the Twentieth
Amendment and so now the Court must decide this controversy as a legal matter.
34
187. Since Congress refused to decide this grave matter through the political
process, has refused and failed to provide to plaintiffs accountability that supports a
constitutional system grounded on the rule of law, and has otherwise acted
unconstitutionally, the courts now have jurisdiction to hear and decide the merits of
plaintiffs’ action against defendants and their constitutional challenge to Obama’s Article
II eligibility to be President, and to provide plaintiffs with a judicial remedy.
The Continuing Efforts by Litigants to Gather Information Regarding Barack Hussein

Obama II on Behalf of the Plaintiffs and the People
188. Officials at Occidental College in Los Angeles, Calif., have been served
with a demand to produce records concerning Barack Obama's attendance there during
the 1980s because they could show whether he was attending as a foreign national.
http://wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=86325. ENDNOTE 34.
Questions Remain Unanswered Regarding the Identity of Obama
189. Because of the inability and failure of the defendants and other political and
social institutions to properly vet Obama, questions remain unanswered about his Article
II eligibility clouding his impending presidency.
The Presidential Inauguration
190. It has been announced that on January 20, 2009, “President-elect Barack H.
Obama will take the Oath of Office (ENDNOTE 35) administered by the Chief Justice of
the United States, the Honorable John G. Roberts, Jr.” ENDNOTE 35.
191. It would be a mockery of the Constitution for Obama to take an oath as the
new President to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution if he is not qualified by
that same document to be President.
35
192. On January 20, 2009, Rev. Rick Warren during his invocation falsely said
that Obama is the son of an immigrant, for Obama’s father was neither an immigrant nor
a legal permanent resident of the U.S.
193. On January 20, 2009, after 12 Noon, Obama became the 44th President of
the United States and Chief Justice Roberts administered the oath of office to Obama.
Due to an error in administering the oath at the public ceremony, Chief Justice Roberts
privately administered the oath a second time to insure the oath met the Constitutional
standard.
Obama’s Waiver of His Privacy Rights in His Certificate of Live Birth (BC)
194. On January 21, 2009, National Public Radio’s Scott Horsely reported from
the White House and stated on NPR radio that Obama’s Press Secretary, Robert Gibbs,
said from the White House to the media that “we have the birth certificate if you want to
see it.” (quote of Horsely and not of Gibbs).
195. Accepting Gibb’s White House offer to see the “birth certificate,” attempts
have been made to obtain a copy of Obama’s “birth certificate” but such efforts have so
far failed, for the White House has not so far provided any such document.
ENDNOTE 37.
Irreparable Harm
196. If Obama is sworn in as President of the United States and Commander in
Chief, there will be substantial and irreparable harm to the stability of the United States
of America, its people, and the plaintiffs.
36
197. Because Obama is not a “natural born Citizen” as required by Article II, a
usurper will be sitting as the President of the United States and none of the treaties, laws,
or executive orders signed by him will be valid or legal.
198. Obama has already started signing Executive Orders and taking other
official actions under his new assumed powers as the President and Commander in Chief.
ENDNOTE 38.
199. In view of the foregoing, plaintiffs set forth the following causes of action.
CAUSES OF ACTION
COUNT I
(First Amendment-Abridged Right to Petition the Government v. Non-Obama
Defendants)
THE NON-OBAMA DEFENDANTS VIOLATED PLAINTIFF KERCHNER’S

RIGHTS UNDER THE FIRST AMENDMENT BY ABRIDGING HIS RIGHTS TO
PETITION HIS GOVERNMENT FOR A REDRESS OF GRIEVANCES WHEN
THEY UNJUSTIFIABLY FAILED TO ADDRESS AND IGNORED PLAINTIFF’S
PETITIONS TO THEM TO INVESTIGATE WHETHER OR NOT OBAMA IS
AN ARTICLE II “NATURAL BORN CITIZEN” AND QUALIFIED TO BE
PRESIDENT AND COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF THE UNITED STATES
200. Article II, Section 1, clause 5 of the United States Constitution provides:
“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.”
201. An Article II “natural born Citizen” is a child born on U.S. soil to parents
both of whom are U.S. citizens (by birth or naturalization) at the time of the child’s birth.
ENDNOTE 39.
202. The people’s right to petition their government is expressly set out in the
37
First Amendment: "Congress shall make no law … abridging … the right of the people
… to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
203. Petition is the right to ask government at any level to right a wrong or
correct a problem.
204. The right to petition their government allows citizens to focus government
attention on unresolved ills; provide information to elected leaders about unpopular
policies; expose misconduct, waste, corruption, and incompetence; vent popular
frustrations without endangering the public order; and request the government to call for
hearings and investigations on matters of concern to the citizens.
205. Plaintiff has his redress right under the First Amendment to bring to the
attention of his government a wrong that he believes should be corrected.
206. But even though plaintiff and many other concerned Americans petitioned
the non-Obama defendants to redress their grievances regarding whether Obama is an
Article II “natural born Citizen,” they simply ignored plaintiff’s pleas and in effect
adhered to an unwritten law, rule or order to ignore the plaintiff’s petitions.
207. Congress’s inaction, bias toward Obama, and indifference toward
plaintiff’s and many other concerned Americans’ grievances concerning whether Obama
is an Article II “natural born Citizen,” which is a matter of grave national concern and
which continues to be a subject of great public debate and litigation, made a law or rule
ipso facto abridging the right of the plaintiff to petition his government for the redress of
grievances, and thus violated the plaintiff’s rights under the First Amendment.
ENDNOTE 40.
208. Congress acted improperly and unconstitutionally in not investigating and
38
conducting hearings at the requests of plaintiff and other concerned Americans under the
20th Amendment on the question of whether Obama is an Article II “natural born
Citizen.”
209. Holding government officials accountable is vital to our Constitutional
Republic.
210. Also vital to our Constitutional Republic is allowing each branch of
government to perform its official duties without unnecessary or inappropriate
interference from the other branches.
211. The right to petition their government includes within it the right of the
people to sue their government.
212. With all the other branches of government having failed to properly vet
Obama regarding his Article II eligibility, now only the judicial branch of government
can right the wrong that the plaintiff has suffered and address his grievance against the
defendants for not supporting and defending the Constitution.
213. Only the judicial branch of government can now order that Congress
performs its obligations under the Constitution and that its members live up to their
sworn oath.
214. Litigation against his own government is the only remedy that the plaintiff
Kerchner now has. ENDNOTE 41.
COUNT II
(Fifth Amendment-Procedural Due Process v. Non-Obama Defendants)
THE NON-OBAMA DEFENDANTS VIOLATED PLAINTIFFS’ FIFTH

AMENDMENT RIGHTS BY DEPRIVING THEM OF A LIBERTY INTEREST
WITHOUT PROCEDURAL DUE PROCESS OF LAW BY FAILING UNDER
THE PROCEDURAL GUIDELINES OF THE TWENTIETH AMENDMENT AND
39
3 U.S.C. 15 TO AFFORD PLAINTIFFS AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE HEARD

THROUGH THEIR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES AND BY FAILING TO
CONDUCT AN APPROPRIATE CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATION AND
HEARING ON WHETHER OBAMA WAS BORN IN THE UNITED STATES
AND WHETHER HE IS AN ARTICLE II “NATURAL BORN CITIZEN” AND
QUALIFIED TO BE PRESIDENT AND COMMANDER IN CHIEF THEREOF
215. The allegations set forth in paragraphs 1- 214 are realleged herein.
216. The Fifth Amendment to the Constitution provides:
“No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous

crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in
cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual
service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject
for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall
be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be
deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall
private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.”
217. Plaintiffs have an inalienable liberty interest in securing for themselves
safety, security, welfare, peace, tranquility, and prosperity.
218. As the plaintiffs’ elected representative, the President performs functions
that go to the heart of representative government.
219. As part of that same liberty interest, the plaintiffs can therefore demand that
the President, who represents the broad interest of United States citizens, meets the
citizenship status of Article II of the Constitution.
220. The President of the United States is the Commander in Chief of the armed
forces and as the Chief Executive Officer is responsible for protecting the plaintiffs and
the United States both domestically and internationally from all enemies foreign and
domestic and assuring that the laws are faithfully executed.
40
221. While the power to declare war is constitutionally given to Congress, the
President commands and directs the military and plans military strategy and can order the
use of military force without immediate Congressional approval or a Congressional
declaration of war.
222. The President also directs foreign policy.
223. The President is also to provide an institutional check and balance against
the power of the other two branches of government, the Legislative and the Judiciary.
224. The President also has the power to sign into law and veto bills passed by
Congress, create a cabinet of advisers, grant pardons and reprieves, make treatise, and
appoint federal officers, ambassadors, federal judges, and thousands of other government
personnel.
225. The President, while not having any constitutional power to directly
introduce legislation, often shapes legislation through his political party and even can
propose law to a member of Congress who will then directly introduce the law.
226. Given the President’s great constitutional powers, that the plaintiffs are
assured that the person occupying the Office of President is Article II qualified is a matter
of utmost concern and critical to their own safety, security, welfare, peace, tranquility,
and prosperity.
227. Given that the United States has a Constitutional Republic form of
democratic self-government, plaintiffs have a fundamental interest in knowing who their
President is which includes knowing whether he was born in the United States, if not,
where he was born, and whether he is an Article II “natural born Citizen” which is a
constitutional eligibility requirement to be President.
41
228. Defendants failed to conduct an appropriate Congressional investigation,
necessary legal research, and Congressional hearings on whether Obama was born in the
United States and whether he is an Article II “natural born Citizen” and qualifies for the
Office of President as called for by the Twentieth Amendment.
229. Defendants Senate and House, sitting in Joint Session, failed to vet and
investigate Obama’s Article II qualifications to be President under the unique
circumstances existing in the public arena and given the petitions of the plaintiffs and
thousands of other people.
230. Defendant Cheney violated 3 U.S.C. Sec. 15, when he failed to openly call
for objections to each state’s vote after each state's vote was read.
231. Defendant Cheney did not give the members of the Senate and House an
opportunity to be heard and to voice objections to each and every state’s vote.
232. Defendant Cheney’s (acting as the Presiding Officer of the Joint Session of
Congress) failure under 3 U.S.C. Sec. 15 to afford plaintiff’s proper notice and an
opportunity to be heard through their elected members of Congress and Congress’s
failure under the Twentieth Amendment to conduct an appropriate Congressional
investigation, necessary legal research, and Congressional hearings on whether Obama
was born in the United States and whether he is an Article II “natural born Citizen” and
qualifies for the Office of President caused plaintiffs to be deprived of their liberty right
to know whether Obama was born in the United States and whether he is an Article II
“natural born Citizen” without procedural due process under the Fifth Amendment to the
Constitution.
42
233. Plaintiffs are now forced to live their lives feeling unsafe, insecure, and in
fear for their peace, tranquility, and prosperity because the non-Obama defendants have
deprived plaintiffs of the liberty interest to know whether Obama was born in the United
States and whether he is an Article II “natural born Citizen.”
234. Because the non-Obama defendants have denied plaintiffs this liberty
interest without their procedural due process rights under the Twentieth Amendment and
3 U.S.C. Sec. 15 which constitutional amendment and statute were designed to allow
them through their elected representatives to protect that liberty interest through the
political process, there is no other way for them to now protect that liberty interest other
than by bringing this legal action against Obama so that the judicial branch of
government may grant them the necessary relief.

to provide to plaintiffs credible, objective, and sufficient evidence showing that he was

democratic self-government, plaintiffs have a fundamental interest in knowing whether
Obama was born in the United States and whether he is an Article II “natural born
Citizen.”
274. Defendants failed to conduct the appropriate investigations and hearings on
whether Obama is an Article II “natural born Citizen” and qualifies for the Office of
President as called for by the Twentieth Amendment,
275. The Congress of the U.S. has never passed a resolution declaring that
Obama, the Democratic candidate for President, is an Article II “natural born citizen” of
the U.S. similar to Senate Resolution 511 which the Senate passed in April, 2008, for
John McCain, who was the Republican candidate for President in the same election.
276. The Congress exhibited an unconstitutional bias in how it utilized its
Constitutional powers and authority of investigation on the question of Article II “natural
born Citizenship” in favor of Obama and against McCain.
277. In February 2008, The New York Times published a report calling into
question whether McCain was Article II qualified to run for
president. http://leahy.senate.gov/press/200804/041008c.html. The Congress responded
by ordering legal research on the matter and held Congressional hearings thereon.
278. In their effort to protect their fundamental interest in assuring that Obama
was born in the United States and that he is an Article II “natural born Citizen,” plaintiffs
and concerned citizens wrote Congress numerous grievance letters regarding Obama’s
Article II citizenship status and some of these citizens even filed lawsuits against Obama
50
on the question of his Constitutional eligibility but Congress, having an unconstitutional
bias in favor of Obama, did absolutely nothing to verify whether Obama was born in the
United States and whether he is an Article II “natural born Citizen.’
279. There was far less hue and cry from the people about McCain’s citizenship
status than about Obama’s, but Congress, mostly motivated by a sole The New York
Times story, gave the people concerned about McCain’s status due process and heard
their grievances by requesting legal research on his citizenship status by prestigious
constitutional lawyers, conducting hearings, taking testimony, and passing a resolution
stating that McCain was a “natural born Citizen” but did nothing for the plaintiffs and
other concerned Americans concerning their petitions, grievances, and questions about
Obama's citizenship status.
280. Obama never went to Congress to clarify the flaws in his citizenship status
to serve as President and Commander in Chief.
281. So Congress has not ruled on this issue to date on behalf of Obama as it did
for McCain.
282. Without having any legitimate government purpose or objective for treating
the plaintiffs differently than they treated other similarly situated concerned Americans,
the non-Obama defendants violated plaintiffs’ equal protection rights under the Fifth
Amendment by not protecting their fundamental interest in assuring that Obama is a
United States citizen and an Article II “natural born Citizen” the same way they protected
the same fundamental interest of similarly situated concerned Americans who petitioned
the same defendants regarding Republican candidate McCain’s place of birth and Article
II “natural born Citizenship” status.

herein.
284. The Ninth Amendment to the Constitution provides that “[t]he enumeration
in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others
retained by the people.”
285. This Amendment along with Article IV, Section 4 (Guarantee Clause that
guarantees a Republican form of government) of the Constitution afford the plaintiffs
with certain rights to challenge the constitutional qualifications and legitimacy of a sitting
President and for a judicial remedy for violations of the Constitution by public officials
and agents.
286. Neither the Electoral College nor Congress exercised their rights to
investigate and determine whether Obama is an Article II “natural born Citizen.”
287. Members of Congress have stated to constituents that Congress does not
have any right to investigate and determine whether a President Elect is an Article II
“natural born Citizen.”
288. In fact, many members of Congress informed their constituents that since
the courts had dismissed all pending law suits against Obama and other various
52
defendants challenging Obama’s Article II “natural born Citizenship” status, there was
nothing that Congress could do.
289. No state of the United States also exercised any right to challenge Obama’s
Article II “natural born Citizenship” status.
290. Because neither any State nor Congress exercised any such right or because
neither any State nor Congress has any such right, Obama is now occupying the Office of
President while not being Article II qualified to do so.
291. If the right to challenge Obama’s Article II “natural born Citizenship” status
does not rest with any State or Congress, then it rests with the plaintiffs who are among
the people of the United States.
292. Plaintiffs, by filing this action against defendant Obama, are exercising their
rights under the Ninth Amendment to require defendant Obama to provide objective,
credible, and sufficient proof that he is an Article II, “natural born Citizen” as that term
shall be defined by this court or some other court of competent jurisdiction.

(Twentieth Amendment-Congress to Qualify President Elect v. Non-Obama

TO THE NON-OBAMA DEFENDANTS TO ADDRESS THEIR GRIEVANCES
REGARDING WHETHER OR NOT OBAMA IS AN ARTICLE II “NATURAL
BORN CITIZEN” AND QUALIFIED TO BE PRESIDENT AND COMMANDER
IN CHIEF OF THE UNITED STATES, THE NON-OBAMA DEFENDANTS
VIOLATED PLAINTIFFS’ RIGHTS UNDER THE TWENTIETH AMENDMENT
BY FAILING TO CONDUCT AN APPROPRIATE INVESTIGATION AND
HEARING THEREUNDER ON WHETHER OBAMA IS AN ARTICLE II
“NATURAL BORN CITIZEN” TO ASSURE THEM THAT HE IS QUALIFIED
TO BE PRESIDENT AND COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF THE UNITED STATES
herein.
332. These two Amendments afford the plaintiffs with the right and power to
bring a legal action against defendant Obama challenging his Constitutional
qualifications and legitimacy to be President and to bring a legal action against the other
non-Obama defendants for their failure to exercise their constitutional duties under the
Twentieth Amendment to properly qualify and confirm Obama by first assuring that he is
an Article II “natural born Citizen” and for a judicial remedy for Obama’s failure to
qualify for such Office and for all their violations of the Constitution.
60
333. The Twentieth Amendment, Section 3, provides that Congress must fully
qualify the candidate "elected" by the Electoral College Electors.
334. Section 3 provides in pertinent part: “[I]f the President elect shall have
failed to qualify, then the Vice President elect shall act as President until a President shall
have qualified . . .”
335. There existed significant public doubt and grievances from plaintiffs and
other concerned Americans regarding Obama’s eligibility to be President and the non-
Obama defendants had the sworn duty to support and defend the Constitution and
specifically under the Twentieth Amendment, Section 3, a Constitutional obligation to
conclusively verify whether Obama, once the Electors elected him, was qualified under
Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution.
336. Congress is the elected representatives of the plaintiffs and the American
people and the plaintiffs and people speak and act through them.
337. Defendants had the duty under the First, Fifth, Ninth, Tenth, and Twentieth
Amendments to the Constitution to the plaintiffs and the American people to verify the
President Elect’s qualifications under Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 as is required by the
Twentieth Amendment, Section 3.
338. Defendants had to insure that the Constitution is upheld and that the
President-Elect is qualified in the Constitutional sense and meets the three qualifications
found in Article II, Section 1, Clause 5.
339. No other political institution other than defendants had a Constitutional duty
to verify the Constitutional qualifications of President Elect Obama.
340. On January 8, 2009, Congress in Joint Session certified, ratified, and/or
61
confirmed Obama as the next President of the United States.
341. Hence, Congress had from December 15, 2008 to and including January 8,
2009 to hold a fact finding hearing and subpoena documents and investigate the
challenges publicly expressed by plaintiffs and thousands of other Americans regarding
whether Obama is an Article II "natural born Citizen" and which were even the subject of
numerous law suits filed in our nation’s courts.
342. Thus Congress had over 3 weeks to hold a public hearing in the Senate,
House, or both to investigate the issue but they did not.
343. When so much doubt had been expressed in the public arena about Obama’s
eligibility to be President, Congress had a duty to investigate and verify and confirm
under the Twentieth Amendment for the sake of the Constitution and the plaintiffs and
other American people which it represents if Obama is so qualified by holding a
Congressional hearing and investigation on the matter with full subpoena power to
compel witnesses’ attendance.
344. There was far less objections from the people about McCain’s citizenship
status than about Obama’s, but Congress gave to those objectors due process and heard
their grievances by requesting legal research on his citizenship status by prestigious
constitutional lawyers, conducting hearings, and passing a resolution stating that McCain
was a “natural born Citizen,” but did nothing for the plaintiffs and other concerned
Americans concerning their petitions, grievances, and questions about Obama's
citizenship status.
345. Even though defendants were well aware of the thousands of people
including the plaintiffs who had petitioned them so that it could properly investigate
62
Obama’s qualifications to be President and that no court of law had accepted any case
raising the issue because of standing or some other procedural obstacle, defendants
violated the Twentieth Amendment by failing to assure that Obama meets the eligibility
requirements of Article II and certifying, ratifying, and/or confirming him as President at
a time when there was and continues to be such a national debate regarding Obama’s
eligibility to be President.
346. Defendants did not do their due diligence under the Twentieth Amendment
in protecting the Constitution and the plaintiffs and the people before certifying, ratifying,
and/or confirming Obama to be President before the Joint Session of Congress on
January 8, 2009.
347. Defendants held no hearing and simply certified, ratified, and/or confirmed
Obama’s election without any questions, debate, investigation, or request for objections
and thereby did not address the plaintiff’s and the peoples’ First Amendment grievance
regarding Obama’s qualifications to be President.
348. Members of Congress had a right to submit to the Senate and to the House a
written objection to the vote count or they could have even stood and said “point of
order” and objected to the counting of the vote and certification, ratification and/or
confirmation of Obama’s election on the Article II eligibility ground until such time that
he can conclusively prove that he is Article II qualified to serve as President of the United
States and Commander in Chief of our military.
349. Members of Congress could have stood up and said “point of order,” and
objected and demanded a full investigation of Obama’s citizenship status.
63
350. Pursuant to 3 U.S.C Sec. 15, Cheney was required to openly call for
objections to each state’s vote after each state's vote was read but he failed to satisfy that
minimum requirement.
351. Hence, defendant Cheney did not give the members of the Senate and House
an opportunity to voice objections to each and every state’s vote.
352. Because defendant Cheney failed to call for objections as is required by the
U.S. Code, the certification of the Electoral College votes was illegally obtained.
353. So not only did the Joint Congress fail under the Twentieth Amendment to
vet and investigate Obama’s qualifications to be President under the unique
circumstances existing in the public arena and given the petition of the plaintiffs and
thousands of people, but defendant Cheney also did not give each member an opportunity
to object to any of the votes cast, a violation by him of 3 U.S.C. Sec. 15.
354. On January 8, 2009, Congress committed an unconstitutional act of
certifying, ratifying, and/or confirming Obama, an ineligible person for President and
Commander in Chief under Article II, by violating the Twentieth Amendment, as
enforced by the Ninth and Tenth Amendments.
355. Congress has failed to exercise its Constitutional duty under the Twentieth
Amendment and so now the Court must decide this controversy as a matter of law.
356. Since Congress has acted unconstitutionally under the Twentieth
Amendment and contrary to 3 USC Sec. 15, the courts now have jurisdiction to hear and
decide the merits of plaintiffs’ action against defendants and their constitutional
challenge to Obama’s eligibility to be President. ENDNOTE 42.

COUNT XI
(Quo Warranto v. Obama)
BECAUSE OBAMA IS NOT AN ARTICLE II “NATURAL BORN CITIZEN,”

THE COURT SHOULD REMOVE AND EXCLUDE HIM FROM THE OFFICE
OF PRESIDENT WHICH HE PRESENTLY HOLDS AND PERMANENTLY BAR
HIM FROM HOLDING THAT OFFICE
357. The allegations set forth in paragraphs 1-356 are realleged herein.
358. Under Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution, the President is bound by the
laws of the land and can be removed from office for treason, bribery or other high crimes
and misdemeanors.
359. Article II, Section 1, Clause 6 provides that in case the President is removed
from office because of disqualification, his powers and duties shall devolve upon the
Vice President.
362. These two Amendments along with Article IV, Section 4 (Guarantee Clause
that guarantees a Republican form of government) of the Constitution afford the plaintiffs
the right and power to bring a legal action against defendant Obama challenging his
Constitutional qualifications and legitimacy to be President and for a judicial remedy for
Obama’s failure to qualify for such Office.
65
363. Obama has failed to adequately show that he is an Article II “natural born
Citizen” and otherwise qualified to hold the Office of President.
364. Obama is not an Article II “natural born Citizen.”
365. Since Obama is not Constitutionally qualified to hold that office, his
election to the Office of President is null, void, and of no effect.
366. If Obama is allowed to be the next President of the United States, he will be
occupying that office without authority or legitimacy under the Constitution.
367. Obama was scheduled to commence and will be assuming the Office of
President after 12:00 p.m. on January 20, 2009.
368. Obama now actually occupies the Office of President and is exercising all
the powers given to that Office under the Constitution.
369. Plaintiffs and other concerned Americans have through their petitions to
Congress asked that Congress fully investigate and resolve the issue of whether defendant
Obama is an Article II “natural born Citizen” but Congress has refused their pleas.
370. Plaintiffs’ action against defendant Obama is now ripe for determination by
a court, for plaintiffs have exhausted all other remedies at resolving the question of
whether Obama is an Article II “natural born Citizen” through the political process.
371. Obama, by holding the Office of President, is usurping or intruding into or
unlawfully holding that office, all to the detriment and injury of the plaintiffs and the
people of the United States of America.
372. Because Obama is not eligible to be the President of the United States, any
agreements he makes are subject to repudiation by the current American government or
by future administrations.
66
373. Any and all agreements he makes gives foreign powers the excuse to
repudiate them.
374. Any orders he gives to the American military are subject to being
constitutionally and lawfully refused.
375. Obama, as a usurper of the Office of President, is an offender against the
dignity of that Office.
376. For Obama to continue to occupy the Office of President is a fraud upon the
plaintiffs and the people of the United States.
377. Plaintiffs have the right to be represented in Office of President by a person
who is constitutionally qualified to hold that position.
378. Plaintiffs’ liberty interest to know whether Obama was born in the United
States and whether he is an Article II “natural born Citizen” has been denied and their
personal health, welfare, and safety are at risk by having an individual hold the Office of
President and Commander in Chief who is not an Article II “natural born Citizen,” for the
President has great enumerated and inherent powers under Article II of the Constitution
including but not limited to the power over the armed forces, over the Executive Branch,
to execute the instructions of Congress, to make treatise, and to appoint judges to the
Supreme Court and all other officers of the United States.
379. Plaintiffs do not have another ample and sufficient remedy provided by law
for the relief they seek.
380. By judicial determination, Obama should be removed and excluded from the
Office of President which he presently holds and be permanently barred from holding
that office.

382. This action is brought under the provisions of 28 U.S. C. Sec. 2201(a).
ENDNOTE 43.
383. There exists an actual case or controversy under Article III, Section 2,
Clause 1 of the United States Constitution between plaintiffs and defendants which is ripe
and which the Court needs to resolve.
384. As alleged above, there exists an actual dispute and controversy between
plaintiffs and defendants regarding whether the non-Obama defendants violated
plaintiffs’ right under the First Amendment to have their petitions and grievances address
by them, whether the non-Obama defendants violated plaintiffs’ procedural due process
rights under the Fifth Amendment, whether the non-Obama defendants violated
plaintiffs’ substantive due process and equal protection under the Fifth Amendment,
whether the non-Obama defendants violated plaintiffs’ rights under the Twentieth
Amendment as enforced against them by the Ninth and Tenth Amendment, whether
defendant Obama is an Article II “natural born Citizen,” whether Obama should be
68
compelled to produce sufficient and credible documents which would conclusively prove
whether he is an Article II “natural born Citizen,” whether defendant Obama currently
holds the Office of President legitimately under Article II, and whether defendant Obama
should be forever barred from holding that Office.
385. This Court is an appropriate court to hear and determine the matters in
controversy.
386. By reason of the conflicting claims of the parties, an actual justiciable
controversy exists between the parties which is ripe for judicial interpretation and capable
of being resolved by the Court.
387. Plaintiffs need a declaration of the rights, duties, or obligations of each of
the defendants by this Court.

8. In England, the Magna Carta (1215) was a prime example of the "rule of law." The
Great Charter forced King John of England to submit his will to the law. Thomas Paine
stated in his pamphlet Common Sense (1776): "For as in absolute governments the king
is law, so in free countries the law ought to be king; and there ought to be no other." In
describing his view of what the government of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
should be, John Adams said "to the end it may be a government of laws and not of men."
Massachusetts Constitution, Part The First, art. XXX (1780). These early influences are
some examples that lead to the rule of constitutional law in the United States.

9. One reason to doubt the online posted Certification of Live Birth’s (COLB’s) validity
is that at least two document examiners opine that the digital image and the source
documents to make the images were forged. This doubt alone is sufficient to require
Obama to produce the original long form birth certificate. Additionally, even the United
States Supreme Court warns that electronic orders may contain “computer-generated
errors or other deviations from the official printed versions.” Indeed, the Court does
not trust computer-generated documents and requires a follow up of them with its
paginated versions in paper print. Furthermore, in cases of discrepancies between the
print and electronic versions of orders, the print version controls.
http://www.supremecourtus.gov/orders/08ordersofthecourt.html
Surely, the plaintiffs are therefore justified in demanding that defendant Obama, the
sitting President of the United States, produce for public inspection and examination by
expert document examiners the paper version of his original Certificate of Live Birth
(Birth Certificate) rather than a questionable digital computer image of a document
Certification of Live Birth (COLB) that he and/or his campaign have/has published to
the world and upon which he relies to prove that he is an Article II “natural born Citizen.”
10. In the case of Hollister v. Soetoro, Civil Action No. 1:08-cv-02254-JR, pending in
the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, defendants Obama and
Vice President Joseph Biden have filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. In footnote
No. 1 of their moving brief dated January 26, 2009, they have stated the following:
“1 President Obama has publicly produced a certified copy of a birth certificate showing
that he was born on August 4, 1961, in Honolulu Hawaii. See, e.g., Factcheck.org, “Born
in the U.S.A.: The truth about Obama’s birth certificate,” available at
http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/born_in_the_usa.html (concluding that the birth
certificate is genuine, and noting a contemporaneous birth announcement published in a
Honolulu newspaper). Hawaii officials have publicly verified that they have President
Obama’s “original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and
procedures.” See “Certified,” Honolulu Star Bulletin, Oct. 31, 2008. This Court can take
judicial notice of these public news reports. See The Washington Post v. Robinson, 935
F.2d 282, 291 (D.C. Cir. 1991); Agee v. Muskie, 629 F.2d 80, 81 n.1, 90 (D.C. Cir. 1980)
11. In this complaint whenever we use the term Birth Certificate or BC in reference to
Hawaiian birth record documents, we are referring to the Hawaiian state document
Certificate of Live Birth and whenever we refer to COLB we are referring to the
Hawaiian state document Certification of Live Birth.
12. From Hawaii's official Department of Health, Vital Records webpage: "Amended
certificates of birth may be prepared and filed with the Department of Health, as provided
by law, for 1) a person born in Hawaii who already has a birth certificate filed with the
Department of Health or 2) a person born in a foreign country" (applies to adopted
children). A parent may register an in-state birth in lieu of certification by a hospital of
birth under HRS 338-5. Hawaiian law expressly provides for registration of out-of-state
births under HRS 338-17.8. A foreign birth presumably would have been recorded by the
American consular of the country of birth, and presumably that would be reflected on the
Hawaiian birth certificate. Hawaiian law, however, expressly acknowledges that its
76
system is subject to error. See, for example, HRS 338-17. Hawaiian law expressly
provides for verification in lieu of certified copy of a birth certificate under HRS 338-
14.3. http://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/hrscurrent/Vol06_Ch0321-0344/HRS0338/. Even
the Hawaii Department of Home Lands does not accept a Certification of Live Birth
(COLB) as conclusive evidence for its homestead program. From its web site: "In order
to process your application, DHHL utilizes information that is found only on the original
Certificate of Live Birth, which is either black or green. This is a more complete record
of your birth than the Certification of Live Birth (a computer-generated printout).
Submitting the original Certificate of Live Birth will save you time and money since the
computer-generated Certification requires additional verification by DHHL."
Additionally, at the bottom of the Certification of Live Birth (COLB), it states: "This
copy serves as prima facie evidence of the fact of birth in any court proceeding." Under
the concept of prima facie evidence, the presumption that the fact exists fails when
evidence contradicting that fact is presented and in such case the interested party needs to
present other competent evidence to prove the existence of that alleged fact. If he fails to
do so, the alleged fact is not proven, even if the opposing party produces no further
evidence. To date, Obama has presented no additional evidence other than the internet
image of his Certification of Live Birth (COLB) regarding where he was born. Hence,
the prima facie validity of the Certification of Live Birth (COLB) must fail and Obama
should be compelled to produce other objective, credible, and sufficient evidence of
where he was born.
13. British Nationality Act of 1948.
14. The origins of the term “natural born Citizen’ and inclusion in the Constitution can
be traced to a 1787 letter from John Jay to General George Washington. The letter
specifically speaks about the reason for requiring the President to be a “natural born
Citizen.” It was believed that there would be less of a chance to have foreign influences
put upon the President and Commander in Chief of our Army (military forces) if the
person serving as the President is a "natural born citizen", i.e., being born on U.S. soil
and being second generation via both his parents also being U.S. citizens. There thus
would be no claim on the President from any foreign power and he would have no
relatively recent allegiance and influence via family to a foreign power or from family
living in a foreign country. Being a "natural born citizen" dramatically reduces the
likelihood of such foreign influence. That is why John Jay, who was a major writer in
The Federalist Papers which were critical in the ratification process of getting the
Constitution approved, requested that the term be inserted into our Constitution. He was
one of the founders who was very concerned about foreign influences being exerted on
our new nation, especially on the President and Commander in Chief of the Army. He
was not concerned about the loyalties of existing "original citizens" of the new country
because they had openly fought for independence. And that is why the Article II
grandfather clause is in there for them. But John Jay was very concerned about foreign
influences on future Presidents and Commander in Chiefs. Thus he wrote the letter to
General Washington. Washington agreed and had the clause put in the Constitution and
the delegates agreed and approved it and the "We the People" of those days voted for it
77
and ratified it. And it can only be changed now by a new amendment by today’s “We the
People.” Jay would have obtained the term “natural born Citizen” from the leading legal
treatise of those times, The Law of Nations (1758), E. Vattel, Book 1, Chapter 19,
Section 212. This work was read not only by the Founding Fathers but was also well-
known throughout the colonies among the general population. Jay frequently cited this
treatise in his writings. Additionally, the term “Law of Nations” is mentioned in the
Constitution itself in Article I, Section 8 (defining piracy). There are also many
references to The Law of Nations in The Federalist Papers, for the writers relied upon
authors such as Vattel, among others. The Journal of Legal History, Volume 23, Issue 2,
August 2002, pages 107 – 128.
15. A child born in wedlock and abroad to one U.S. citizen parent and one alien parent
acquires U.S. citizenship at birth under Section 301(g) INA, provided the citizen parent
was physically present in the U.S. for the time period required by the law applicable at
the time of the child's birth. (For birth on or after November 14, 1986, a period of five
years physical presence, two after the age of fourteen is required. For birth between
December 24, 1952 and November 13, 1986, a period of ten years, five after the age of
fourteen are required for physical presence in the U.S. to transmit U.S. citizenship to the
child). http://travel.state.gov/law/info/info_609.html. Obama’s mother, born on November
29, 1942, was 18 years old when she gave birth to Obama on August 4, 1961. She was
117 days short from being 19 years old. But she had to be at least 19 years old (14 years
old plus 5 years of U.S. physical presence) to satisfy the legal requirement of Section
301(g). Hence, if Obama was born in Kenya, under the Fourteenth Amendment, he is
neither a U.S. citizen by birth on U.S. soil nor one by naturalization. (There is no existing
evidence that Obama was ever naturalized.) Nor would he qualify to be a U.S. citizen by
any act of Congress by being born abroad to a U.S. citizen parent. If this scenario were
proven to be true, it can be reasonably argued that Obama is an illegal alien.
16. While Obama did swear under oath to at least one state (e.g. Arizona) that he is a
“natural born citizen,” virtually all DNC nominating certificates do not say Obama is
constitutionally qualified to be President. Rather, they only say that Obama has been
nominated as the Democratic candidate for the Office of President. The only exception
that has been found to date is for the state of Hawaii, which nominating certificate does
say that the candidate is constitutionally qualified to be President. A copy of the signed
document for HI may be found at: http://www.yourfellowcitizen.com/2008/12/hawaii-
answers-two-of-my-questions.html. But defendant Pelosi never adequately qualified
Obama, for she never saw his original vault, long form, Certificate of Live Birth (Birth
Certificate), (not to be confused with the internet image of a Certification of Live Birth
(COLB) that Obama’s campaign posted on the internet in June 2008 and which has been
attacked by at least two document examiners as a forgery), or any other sufficient and
credible document that would lead her to come to such a conclusion.
17. Obama has refused all effort to have him release the following documents, relying on
sealing of records and/or privacy laws: Punahou High School records, Occidental College
records, Columbia College records, Columbia Thesis paper, Harvard College records,
Selective Service Registration, medical records, Illinois State Senate records, Illinois
State Senate schedule, Law practice client list, certified copy of original Certificate of
78
Live Birth (Birth Certificate), Harvard Law Review articles that were published,
University of Chicago scholarly articles, Record of baptism, if any.
18. Absent constitutional amendment, there is no authority to alter the text of the
Constitution, the provisions of which are “fixed and exclusive.” United States Term
Limits v. Thornton, 514 U.S. 779, 790 (1995) (discussing “the Framers’ intent that the
[congressional] qualifications in the Constitution be fixed and exclusive.”). Hence, if
Obama does not like Article II’s “natural born Citizen” clause, he cannot unilaterally
change the Constitution by simply failing to address its requirements to be President.
19. Information and the “pre-established, objective” criteria of the Commission on

Presidential Debates may be found at http://www.yourfellowcitizen.com/2009/01/big-tip-
commission-on-presidential.html.
20. http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=83152. The Electoral
College consists of the popularly elected representatives ("electors") who formally elect
the President and Vice President of the United States. Since 1964, there have been 538
electors in each Presidential election. Article II, Section 1, Clause 2 of the Constitution
specifies how many electors each state is entitled to have and that each state's legislature
decides how its electors are to be chosen; U.S. territories are not represented in the
Electoral College. The Electoral College is an example of an indirect election.
21. From August 21, 2008 to December 31, 2008 over a dozen law suits were filed all
over this nation and more will probably be filed thereafter. These were actions in
different State and Federal courts. The plaintiffs have been US citizens, voters, electors,
different Party officials, and candidates for office, all alleging that Obama’s eligibility for
Presidency was never conclusively verified by any governmental agency and mounting
evidence suggests that he does not qualify as an Article II “natural born Citizen” and
therefore cannot be sworn as the President of the United States and Commander in Chief.
No court decided these cases on the merits.

regarding Obama on standing grounds); Donofrio v. Wells, Motion No. AM-0153-08T2
before the New Jersey Appellate Division (N.J. 2008).
22. The U.S. Supreme court previously discussed four cases in conference and denied
Leo Donofrio, Cort Wrotnowski, Philip Berg, and Lightfoot et al v. Debra Bowen,
California Secretary of State, full hearings. Those lawsuits allege Obama does not meet
the "natural born citizen" clause of the U.S. Constitution, Article II, Section 1.
23. At a Judiciary Committee hearing on April 3, Senator Leahy asked Homeland

Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, himself a former Federal judge, if he had doubts
that McCain was eligible to serve as President. “My assumption and my understanding is
that if you are born of American parents, you are naturally a natural-born American
citizen,” Chertoff replied. “That is mine, too,” said Leahy.
http://leahy.senate.gov/press/200804/041008c.html. With defendant Obama (who also
signed it) and Senator Hilary Clinton being two of the six sponsors of the resolution, the
Senate passed Senate Resolution 511 on April 30, 2008. Congress requested legal
research on the issue of whether McCain’s was an Article II “natural born Citizen” and
Theodore Olson (former Solicitor General) and Laurence Tribe (Harvard Law School
Professor) wrote their legal opinion to Congress concluding that he was. The Senate
expressed that it relied on that legal opinion to come to its conclusion that McCain is a
"natural born Citizen" and Senator Leahy requested that the legal opinion be printed in
the Congressional Record.
24. The Constitution requires that Senators and Representatives take an oath to support
and defend the Constitution. Congress has prescribed the following oath for new
senators:
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of
the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true
faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any
mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully
discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.
25. Joint Session of Congress requires a concurrent resolution from both House and
Senate to meet. Joint sessions include the counting of electoral college votes and
certifying, ratifying, and/or confirming the election of the President.
80
26. Although not specifically mentioned in the Constitution, Congress has long asserted
the power to investigate and the power to compel cooperation with an investigation.
Barenblatt v. United States, 360 U.S. 109, 111 (1959) ("The power of inquiry has been
employed by Congress throughout our history, over the whole range of the national interests
concerning which Congress might legislate or decide upon due investigation not to legislate).
The Supreme Court has affirmed these powers as an implication of Congress' power to
legislate. See McGrain v. Daugherty, 273 U.S. 135, 174–75 (1927) ("[T]he power of inquiry-
with process to enforce it-is an essential and appropriate auxiliary to the legislative function. It
was so regarded and employed in American Legislatures before the Constitution was framed and
ratified. . . . A legislative body cannot legislate wisely or effectively in the absence of information
respecting the conditions which the legislation is intended to affect or change; and where the
legislative body does not itself possess the requisite information-which not infrequently is true-
recourse must be had to others who do possess it. Experience has taught that mere requests for
such information often are unavailing, and also that information which is volunteered is not
always accurate or complete; so some means of compulsion are essential to obtain what is
needed. All this was true before and when the Constitution was framed and adopted. In that
period the power of inquiry, with enforcing process, was regarded and employed as a necessary
and appropriate attribute of the power to legislate-indeed, was treated as inhering in it. Thus there
is ample warrant for thinking . . . that the constitutional provisions which commit the legislative
function to the two houses are intended to include this attribute to the end that the function may
be effectively exercised."). Since the power to investigate is part and parcel of Congress'
power to legislate, it is as broad as Congress' powers to legislate. See Watkins v. United
States, 354 U.S. 178, 187 (1957) ("The power of the Congress to conduct investigations is
inherent in the legislative process. That power is broad. It encompasses inquiries concerning the
administration of existing laws as well as proposed or possibly needed statutes. It includes
surveys of defects in our social, economic or political system for the purpose of enabling the
Congress to remedy them. It comprehends probes into departments of the Federal Government to
expose corruption, inefficiency or waste."); Barenblatt, 360 U.S. at 111 ("The scope of the power
of inquiry . . . is as penetrating and far-reaching as the potential power to enact and appropriate
under the Constitution."). The courts highly defer to Congress' exercise of its investigation
powers. Additionally, the courts will not inquire into whether Congress has an improper
motive for an investigation (i.e., using a legitimate legislative purpose as a cover for
"expos[ing] for the sake of exposure"), focusing only on whether the matter is within
Congress' power to regulate and, thus, investigate. Barenblatt, 360 U.S. at 132 ("So long as
Congress acts in pursuance of its constitutional power, the Judiciary lacks authority to intervene
on the basis of the motives which spurred the exercise of that power."). Persons called before a
congressional investigatory committee are entitled to the constitutional guarantees of
individual rights, such as those in the Bill of Rights. Id. at 112. Congress can utilize its
contempt powers to punish those who do not cooperate with an investigation. McGrain,
273 U.S. at 180.
27. Citizens have a right under the First Amendment to petition their government to
redress their grievances. First Amendment. Various concerned Americans sent Congress
a petition with 217,487 signatures asking them to fully investigate Obama’s eligibility to
be President before certifying, ratifying, and/or confirming him to be President.

Groups such as Frustrated Veterans of America placed a full-page ad in the

Washington Times National Weekly, January 5, 2009, page 21, protesting that their First
Amendment rights to petition and address their grievances with the government were
denied. They reported in the ad that they received responses from four Congressmen that
Congress did not have the authority to question Presidential candidates about their
qualifications and that such prerogative belongs with the voters.
Attorney, Orly Taitz, Esq., who represents the plaintiff in the Lightfoot v. Bowen
case now pending before the U.S. Supreme Court, wrote a letter to Congress asking them
to conduct the necessary investigation into Obama’s eligibility to be President. Her letter
was addressed to members of Congress and cites the scheduled January 8, 2009 joint
meeting at which the Electoral College votes were to be counted and certified, ratified,
and/or confirmed. "This urgent letter is a request by your (and Mr. Obama's) employers,
We The People, for you to submit an OBJECTION to those votes being counted due to
the Constitutional INELIGIBILITY of Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. to serve as POTUS:"
the letter starts. It then cites allegations that Obama has not documented his birth in U.S.
territory, has not explained how he returned to being a U.S. citizen after spending years
living in Indonesia, has not shown that he was born to two parents holding U.S.
citizenship, has not explained his travel to Pakistan in the 1980s when U.S. passports
were unwelcome there, and has not shown he registered for the draft between the ages of
18 and 26. The letter explains that there is no proof "he is, in fact, not an illegal alien, and
therefore subject to the same penalties that would befall all illegal aliens in his situation."
"Therefore, we are calling on you, as a member of Congress, sworn to uphold, protect,
and defend that Constitution, to OBJECT to the counting and certification, ratification,
and/or confirmation of those electoral votes until proof of his eligibility or ineligibility
can be determined, and to call for indictments in regard to any and all alleged violations
of U.S. laws and one's sworn oath," the letter said.
Concerned Americans even took out full page advertising in the Washington
Times National Weekly (no November 17, 2008 and December 8, 2008) and The
Chicago Tribune (on December 1, 2008 and December 3, 2008) in which they expressed
their concern to their political leaders regarding whether Obama was an Article II
“natural born Citizen” and otherwise qualified to be President. The Globe Magazine did
two editions with the stories headlined and Obama’s picture on the front page questioning
in the first (dated December 22, 2008) the legality of the election and the validity of the
Certification of Live Birth (COLB) presented on the internet as proof of his birth place
and in the second (dated January 12, 2009) where Obama was born and his
citizenship. These magazines are distributed to the public and available for consumption
about one week before the official issue date.
28. Plaintiff Kerchner personally petitioned his Members of Congress, Senator Arlen
Specter and Representative Charlie Dent, via his letter dated December 31, 2008. He
also later sent his letter to, among others, Representative John Boehner, Representative
Tom Tancredo, Representative John Linder, Senator Saxby Chandler, Senator Joe
Lieberman, and Senator John McCain.
82
29. That the courts were suppose to resolve the qualification issue placed these
concerned Americans in a Catch 22, for Obama in his defense of the various lawsuits
against him argued that the qualification issue was a political question that had to be
decided by the political process and the courts probably agreed. That the Hawaiian
officials had verified or confirmed that Obama was born in Hawaii was a false statement,
for at no time did any such official state publicly that they personally saw Obama’s
original Certificate of Live Birth (Birth Certificate) and report that it shows that he was
in fact born in Hawaii. Finally, stating that Congress has no power to investigate a
Presidential candidate’s or President Elect’s eligibility to be President was also false, for
Congress has the power to investigate anything and everything and the constitutional duty
under the Twentieth Amendment to make sure that the President Elect qualifies for the
Office.
30. No one on Obama’s web site or anyone from Snopes or FactCheck ever wrote that
Obama is a "natural born citizen." They just said he was a U.S. citizen or at most a native
born citizen.
31. Obama has also been known as Barry Soetoro and may have used other names as
well.
32. It has been reported in the press that Obama’s passport records were tampered with
by a contract employee working for a company owned by an Obama campaign staffer.
33. See 3 U.S.C. Sec. 15.
34. Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation has petitioned Occidental
College with a demand for its records concerning Obama. The lawsuit on which USJF is
working was filed on behalf of presidential candidate Alan Keyes and others, and
describes the potential damage an ineligible president could create.
35. The oath of office for the President of the United States is specified in the
Constitution’s Article II, Section 1. In its entirety, it reads: ‘‘I do solemnly swear (or
affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will
to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United
States.’’

38. In one of its first actions, Obama instructed military prosecutors late Tuesday,
January 20, 2009, to seek a 120-day suspension of legal proceedings involving detainees
at the naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Except for Military Judge Pohl, military
judges have granted the request. \\Secretary\legalfiles\Political\Obama\Military

39. “The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who
are citizens (emphasis supplied). E. de Vattel, Law of Nations, Book 1, Chapter 19,
Section 212 (1758).
40. Congress's total indifference to the grievances of the plaintiffs had the same force of
law as when in the time of the people of the original thirteen colonies, citizens thereof
petitioned King George of Great Britain with their grievances and he was indifferent and
totally ignored their grievances and petitions as is detailed in the Declaration of
Independence. And now today, like King George did when he governed the original
colonies, the Congress was indifferent to the plaintiffs and abridged their rights to have
their grievances heard. Now plaintiffs’ only recourse for redress of their grievances is the
Federal Courts.
41. In N. A. A. C. P. v. Button, 371 U.S. 415 (1963), the Court declared: "Litigation may
well be the sole practical avenue open to a minority to petition for a redress of
grievances."
42. Congress undertaking such an investigation is consistent with the decision in

Robinson v. Bowen,2008 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 82306 (N.D. Ca. 2008), where the District
Court stated at 7: “Therefore, this order holds that the challenge presented by plaintiff is
committed under the Constitution to the electors and the legislative
branch…review--if any--should occur only after the electoral and
Congressional processes have run their course. Texas v. United States, 523
U.S. 296, 300-02, 118 S. Ct. 1257, 140 L. Ed. 2d 406 (1998).” Robinson v.
Bowen, at 7.
43. 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2201(a) provides: Declaratory judgments:
(a) In a case of actual controversy within its jurisdiction . . . any court of the
United States, upon the filing of an appropriate pleading, may declare the rights
and other legal relations of any interested party seeking such declaration, whether
or not further relief is or could be sought. Any such declaration shall have the
force and effect of a final judgment or decree and shall be reviewable as such.
