National Journal's Lost in Transition

President After All

The Supreme Court today turned down an emergency appeal from a New Jersey man who says President-elect Obama is ineligible to be president because he was a British subject at birth, the Associated Press reports. The court did not comment on its order. Leo Donofrio claimed that since Obama had dual nationality at birth -- his mother was American and his Kenyan father at the time was a British subject -- he cannot possibly be a "natural born citizen," one of the requirements the Constitution lists for eligibility to be president. Donofrio also contends that two other candidates, Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona and Socialist Workers candidate Roger Calero, also are not natural-born citizens and thus ineligible to be president.
