Hey! Did You Know????

Well, you probably didn't.

No one is reporting this little item.  Not the mainstream media, not the majority of the conservative media.

You have to search to find this little nugget:

That President Obama was subpoenaed last week in Georgia over his eligibility to run for President.

And no, it wasn't about where he was born.

Contrary to what you might be thinking, the issue is whether Obama is a "natural born" citizen.  You see, his father, according to the birth certificate that Obama finally came up with (rather quickly, after all the hullaballoo about not being able to find it!) was NOT a U.S. citizen.

And according to the Supreme Court, in Minor vs. Hzppersett (1874), "natural born" citizens--who are eligible to be President of the United States--are those "children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners."

That is, you are a "natural born" citizen if BOTH of your parents are U.S. citizens.

But, even that isn't really the issue.

The issue is that Obama feels himself above the law of our country.

Obama's attorney stated the President didn't have to attend.

The judge replied, in so many words, "show me where the President doesn't have to obey the law."   (My paraphrase)

So the lawyer went up to the state level and tried to get the President excused.  Sorry, said the Georgia Secretary of State, that's a judicial issue--go hash it out with the judge.

And so, Obama just ignored the judge.


President Obama did not show up for court, nor did he send any legal representation.  He just decided that the subpoena was not binding on him, the President. 


So, is our President above the law?  Seems so.
