Obama's eligibility to be president: 2 cases on their way to the Supreme Court

Supremes more likely to rule on substance of eligibility case - Lawyer: 'Environment is more favorable for judges to decide on the merits without fear'

November 24, 2010:

Taitz recently presented the U.S. Supreme Court with a petition for a writ of certiorari in her case, Orly Taitz v. Thomas D. MacDonald, et al. A writ of certiorari means the court agrees to review the decision of a lower court. The Supreme Court is scheduled to reply to the new filing and announce whether it will hear the case on Nov. 24...

Taitz v. MacDonald is now the second case challenging President Obama's eligibility to serve in the Oval Office up for review by the Supreme Court...Taitz v. MacDonald was originally brought on behalf of Capt. Connie Rhodes, an Army flight surgeon questioning the validity of deployment orders issued under Obama's signature. The case argues that Obama has not proven that he is a "natural-born citizen" of the United States, which Article 2 of the Constitution requires any president to be. A "natural born citizen" was considered at the time the Constitution was adopted as an individual whose parents are both American citizens. Obama's father was a British subject when Obama was born in 1961.

But Taitz vs. MacDonald goes beyond Obama's legitimacy to raise the possibility of Social Security fraud...

November 3, 2010:

Taitz v. MacDonald follows on the heels of Kerchner v. Obama, a case also arguing that Obama has failed to prove he is a "natural born citizen." The court is scheduled to announce its decision whether to hear Kerchner v. Obama on Nov. 3.
