In a hearing before Judge Michael Malihi of the Georgia state Office of State Administrative Hearings ruled, “State law requires every candidate for federal office who is certified by the state executive committees of a political party or who files a notice of candidacy shall meet the constitutional and statutory qualifications for holding the office being sought,” and, “State law also grants the Secretary of State and any elector who is eligible to vote for a candidate in the state the authority to raise a challenge to a candidate’s qualifications”
The court's opinion also clearly stated that Georgia law allows Sec. of State Weldon to challenge candidate Obama's Constitutional qualifications to hold the office of President. This ruling ensures the Georgia court will be the first court to address the substantive Constitutional issue of eligibility. All other courts that have heard challenges to Obama's Constitutional qualifications to hold office have refused to address the substantive issue and have dismissed cases on procedural grounds and not matters of substance, ducking the issue.
In the case Minor v. Happersett, 88 U.S. 162 (1875), the U.S. Supreme Court ruled: "The Constitution does not in words say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all 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. Some authorities go further and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the citizenship of their parents. As to this class there have been doubts, but never as to the first."

Furthermore: United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649 (1898), was decided in a similar fashion and from the Minor case: "At common law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all 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."
And, earlier rulings: Venus, 12 U.S. 8 Cranch 253 253 (1814), Shanks v. Dupont, 28 U.S. 3 Pet. 242 242 (1830), and Dred Scott v. Sandford, 60 U.S. 393 (1857), the U.S. Supreme Court has declared: a "natural born Citizen" is one who is born on U.S. soil to U.S. citizen parents. Barack Hussein Obama II is, therefore, not a natural born citizen and must be removed from the Presidential ballots in all fifty states!
Thoughtsjustoffcenter: So now where does this take us? I hope many other States will follow through on this issue. At least I hope so. Now, I suppose, the Department of Justice, with Holder in charge, will start having issues with the State of Georgia.
