A Kansas judge has granted an Oct. 3 court hearing to birther queen Orly Taitz in her lawsuit that seeks to keep President Barack Obama off of the Sunflower State's ballot because of what she says are questions about his U.S. citizenship.
Taitz, a California dentist and lawyer, announced on her website Thursday evening that Kansas District Court Judge Larry Hendricks has granted her a hearing in her lawsuit that seeks to overturn a decision by the state Objections Board to keep Obama on the ballot. The Objections Board ruled Monday -- over Taitz' objection -- to drop plans to consider the removal of Obama from the ballot after Joe Montgomery, a Manhattan, Kan., resident, withdrew his challenge to the president's candidacy.
In the lawsuit, Taitz and Kansas resident Roger Walters named Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach (R) and the Objections Board, saying that the board ignored evidence they claim should disqualify Obama from the ballot. Taitz and Walters cite alleged "forgery and fraud" to Obama's birth certificate and Taitz' claims that Obama is using a fake Social Security number from Connecticut. The lawsuit says Taitz provided this information to Kobach prior to Monday's board meeting, and Kobach did not let her testify.

(17,575 posts)Six previous US Presidents had foreign born parents. Andrew Jackson is the only president born of two immigrants, both Irish. Presidents with one immigrant parent are Thomas Jefferson, whose mother was born in England; James Buchanan and Chester Arthur, both of whom had Irish fathers; and Woodrow Wilson and Herbert Hoover, whose mothers were born respectively in England and Canada.
On a side note, you do not even have to be born in the US to be a "natural born citizen," which is one of the requirements to become President per the Constitution. John McCain was born in Panama. But since his parents were US citizens, he automatically became a citizen at birth.

(827 posts)She claims he's not a US citizen and has a fake SS from CT. Yet another whackjob is sending movies around claiming Obama's real father is a communist black American from Chicago which renders her point moot.
