Hall of Shame

A letter received from Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama
regarding Barack Obama’s eligibility issues:

“Thank you for your recent letter regarding President-elect Barack
Obama. I appreciate your comments and welcome the opportunity to
respond.

The Constitution of the United States requires that all candidates
for the office of President must be at least 35 years of age, natural
born citizens, and residents in the United States for the previous
14 years. As you know, stories have circulated that call into question
President-elect Obama’s citizenship. To this end, lawsuits have been
filed allegging that Obama is not a natural born citizen of the United
States, and therefore is constitutionally ineligible for the office
of President.

One of the most highly publicized suits was filed by Philip Berg on
August 21, 2008, in the U. S. District Court for the Eastern District
of Pennsylvania. This suit was dismissed on October 24, 2008, and Berg
subsequently filed an appeal. The decision to hear the case is still
pending before the United States Supreme Court. A related suit, filed
by Leo Donofrio, was recently submitted to the Supreme Court. On
December 8, 2008, the court declined to hear Donofrio’s suit.

Senate ethics rules preclude me from becoming personally involved in
pending litigation. I sincerely hope this matter can be fully and
promptly resolved by the courts. In the meantime, please do not
hesitate to contact me in the future should you have a question
regarding an issue over which I have jurisdiction.

Thank you again for writing. Your comments and suggestions are always
welcome.

Very truly yours,
Jeff Sessions
United States Senator”

Senator Jeff Sessions, first of all I suppose you should be
congratulated for not spewing a bunch of uninformed or biased
statements, as many of your colleagues have done.
However, you stated the following:

“please do not hesitate to contact me in the future should you have
a question regarding an issue over which I have jurisdiction.”

We are contacting you now. Congress meets on January 8, 2008 to count and
validate the Electoral College Votes. We are asking you carry out your oath
of office and request proof of eligibility from Obama, a candidate who is
not a natural born citizen and probably is an illegal alien. I am certain
this is within the realm of your “jurisdiction.”

Why Obama is not eligible
