Lawsuit claims Obama can't be president because he's 'mulatto'
February 24, 2012 4:16 PM Subscribe
A man from Juneau, Alaska, has filed suit with the state’s Division of Elections to bar President Obama from appearing on that state’s ballot on the basis that the President is a “Mulatto“, and “Before the [purported] ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment, the race of ‘Negro‘ or ‘Mulatto‘ had no standing to be citizens of the United States under the United States Constitution,” according to the lawsuit. The entire complaint is available here (PDF)
His lawsuit states:
His lawsuit states:
- Barack Hussein Obama II, a.k.a. Barack Hussein Obama, a.ka. Barack H. Obama has the race status of being a "mulatto." Barack Obama's father (Barack Hussein Obama I) was a full blood Negro being born Nyang'oma Kogelo, Nyanza Province, Kenya and raised in the Colony of Kenya. Barack Obama's mother (Stanley Ann Dunham) was a white Caucasian woman being born in Wichita, Kansas on November 29, 1942 and raised in the state of Washington and in the state of Hawaii.
- As stated above, for an Individual to be a candidate for the office of president of the United States, the candidate must meet the qualifications set forth in the United States Constitution and one of those qualifications is that the Candidate shall be a "natural born citizen" of the United States. As Barack Hussein Obama II is of the "mulatto" race, his status of citizenship is founded upon the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. Before the [purported] ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment, the race of "Negro" or "mulatto" had no standing to be citizens of the United States under the United States Constitution.

So ... it's a good thing we ratified the 14th Amendment, then. Moving on?

Sometimes the Constitution has errors, which is why we amend it. The amendments then become part of the Constitution. That's how it works, Alaska Dude.
But just because some crazy guy files suit doesn't mean the suit's going anywhere.

He doesn't want Obama on the ballot because he's part black? Well, at least he's being fucking honest, which is more than I can say for the rest of the birthers.

Nobody ever mentions the president's middle name for non-racist purposes.
