On June 29, Florida Circuit Court Judge Terry P. Lewis of Leon County issued this ruling in Voeltz v Obama, 2012-ca-467. This case was filed by individuals who believe that President Obama is not eligible to be President. Larry Klayman was the attorney for the plaintiffs.
The decision holds that someone may be a “natural-born citizen” if he or she is born in the United States, regardless of the citizenship of his or her parents. It also holds that even setting that issue aside, the case is not ripe because President Obama is not yet the Democratic Party nominee for President. The plaintiffs had argued that because Obama had won the Florida Democratic presidential primary, he is the presidential nominee of the Florida Democratic Party.
The part of the ruling that differentiates the presidential primary from the primary for other office is potentially a useful precedent for anyone arguing that “sore loser” laws don’t apply to presidential primaries.
The ruling also says that the Secretary of State of Florida has no duty to investigate the qualifications of candidates. This part of the ruling will bolster the favorable ruling made last year by the Florida Secretary of State. He ruled last year that he will not enforce the part of the 2011 election law that imposes severe petition requirements on qualified minor parties that wish to place a presidential candidate on the ballot, if those parties are not recognized as “national committees” by the Federal Election Commission. The Secretary of State said last year he has no official knowledge of which parties are recognized by the FEC, and that he will assume any party that applies to place a presidential nominee on the ballot is eligible to do that. The ruling in Voeltz v Obama strengths that ruling by the Secretary of State. Thanks to Bill Van Allen for the link to the opinion.
One more JUNK perversion of the Constitution.
ALLEGIANCE to a nation state via father’s allegiance.
Place of birth means ZERO – in any nation State or over, on or under the High Seas.
Thus how many highly pregnant foreign sex slaves and/or invaders will be dumped in Florida in the MORON judge’s county and claim to have kids born in such county that are claimed to be natural born USA citizens ???
See 20th Amdt, Sec. 3.
How STUPID are New Age judges — or all they all as STUPID as the New Age SCOTUS super-morons ???
Obama won’t be elected in November; he might be elected in December when the presidential electors meet. It shouldn’t matter whether a candidate for president is qualified to hold that office when their name is put on the November ballot, because they aren’t elected in November. Did the judge’s ruling say anything about this?
Excellent common sense ruling from the court.
We need more like that.
So that’s why they are now creating a new birth certificate for him in Hawaii? What an offensive ruling by a senile judge I’m sure! Those idiots are destroying our country in conjunction with each other. SAD DAY for The USA.
So, IOW, the Florida SoS admits he won’t do his job and verify eligibility for President? By that standard, anyone is eligible for any office downticket–including SoS!
I am a registered Republican living in Fl. If Romney chooses Rubio or Jindal for VP I will stay home in Nov. I will not vote for an illeagle campaign. They are not Natural Born Citizens.

Now THAT is a fascinating point.
What do you think about that one, Jim Riley?
What is the purpose of having a Presidential Candidate put their name on the state ballots? Apparently the process is only to collect money because there aren’t any standards for qualification. We are being told that anyone can have their name on the Ballot and no one in that state has the right or duty to investigate that person. According to what Americans are being told about Obama, Fidel Castro or some other Liberal hero could run for office and no one can stop them from it. We are being lied to on a massive scale and our laws are being ignored in the name of Barack Obama whom any sane person knows might not even exist. To even exist you have to have a valid paper trail and it has been proven beyond a shadow of doubt that the person in question calling himself Barack Obama has not one piece of legal paper to even show that he is a real person. This is a joke on an enormous scale and it is being played on all of America.
# 8 Once upon a time long ago there was the very special QUO WARRANTO cases — by what warrant (authority) do you hold your public office ???
Now allegedly it is one more civil action.
*Apparently* the moron courts are letting all sorts of UN-qualified folks get on the ballots.
IF such folks are de facto elected, THEN the courts *may* take action
— except for legislators in Congress and most/all State legislatures (for history reasons) – the legislative body rules on qualifications.
Again for Prez — see 20th Amdt, Sec. 3 — A Prez failing to qualify to hold the office.
If you start connecting the dots that Barack Hussein Obama is the illegitimate son of Malcolm X who was reared in Indonesia, he is a natural born citizen.
the issue is his crimes since he has been in office, including a forged birth certificate, a fake social security number, a forged selective service card, fast and furious murders in cold blood.
he is a fraud albeit american. that is enough to throw him into prison.
take that tact: dna.
#9:
regarding QUO WARRANTO
please speculate on how many of the many docketed “Sealed v Sealed” cases at the USDC-DCD filed since 2009 concern POTUS – CINC eligibility authority issue
Wow, does that mean that there is an end to “domicile at birth”!? Does that mean the United States will no longer
abide by the Hague Convention of Nationality of 1930, which was ratified in 1937!?
