Now a series of reports, including those from blogger JBJD, the butterdezillion blog, Obama Release Your Records blog and the Fellowshipofminds blog, are revealing the local state party's stance in 2008.
...."In other words, by omitting the above words, the Democractic Party of Hawaii (DPH) was signaling the following: 1. DPH is merely certifying that Obama is legally qualified to serve as president by virtue of the ballots of the Democratic Parties of the 50 states. The DPH is not certifying that Obama is legally qualified to serve as president under the provisions of the U.S. Constitution! 2. The DPH is also saying that Obama and Biden are NOT the chosen candidates of the state of Hawaii," he concluded.
The Hawaii Democratic Party refused to state that Obama was legally eligible, and never stated that he was duly chosen as a candidate of the state party. They were certainly in a better position to know about Obama's legal status than Nancy Pelosi. So according to Hawaiian Law, and the US Constitution, he should not have been allowed on the ballot.
When the authority to make a nomination is legally challenged by objections filed to the certificate of nomination, and violation or disregard of the party rules is alleged, the court must hear the facts and determine the question.
Before we break out the party noisemakers, here's some sobering information from p. 339 of the same Cyclopedia of Law and Procedure concerning who can object and the time period for making an objection:
One who is not a member of the party making nominations cannot object to the regularity of the proceedings resulting in the nomination.
It is usually provided by statute that objections to nomination papers shall be made within a designated time after such papers are filed, or within a certain number of days before election. And, after the time for filing objections has passed, in the absence of fraud a certificate of nomination to which no objections were filed and which is regular in form cannot be attacked. At all events such objection should be made before the election, for if not so made the legal authority of a convention will in the absence of fraud be conclusively presumed.

Don't get your hopes up, though... Seems nothing can actually be done about it because a) only Democrats can challenge it and b) it's too late.

My hopes up? I know it may seem, from all the stories I have done here on this subject at ATS, that I am some Obama hater, but I assure you that is not the case.

All I ever wanted was for there to be the correct man in the White House, unencumbered by any doubts of eligibility.

Oh, come on, TA, your feelings about Obama are pretty clear. Besides, I didn't mention your personal feelings about Obama. What I mean is that if you have hopes that he will be impeached or otherwise booted out of office, even if this is found to be legitimate, don't get your hopes up.

If Obama is ineligible, we haven't had the correct man in the office since Clinton. Election fraud is the game of the day.
I was thinking about this and wondering what is the most likely scenario, and this is what I came up with: If the Hawaii DNC Officials KNEW that he WAS born in Kenya (let's say), then they would never have put him on the ballot for president. BUT... if they weren't sure... for example, if he was born at home in Hawaii, and there was no Dr's signature, they really couldn't verify his status. So they sent it to Pelosi. Pelosi checked his short form (which is legal proof of nation of birth) and then signed her form, stating that e was Constitutionally eligible. All legal and above board... No election fraud.

Why is the word of the Democratic Party of Hawai even needed?
Isn't the only necessary vetting in order to be president done by federal institutions, not local party chapters?

add to it Obama blocking the lawsuits asking to see documentation
add to it that the two alleged newspaper 'announcements' had the wrong address (Obama's never lived at that address)
add to it that a forger came forward and admitted that he faked the Daily Kos Certificate of Birth
If he'd just show the dang thing that is in Hawaii
.... POOF ... MOST of this could go away.

BH if he were born at home,why would his political machine put out the story and newspaper clipping that he was born in the hospital?

If they couldn't verify his status, then WTF is he doing in the White House?

Additional research has established that the grandparents, Madelyn and Stanley Dunham, lived at 6085 Kalanianaole Highway, not Barack Obama Sr. and Ann Dunham.
