Lawsuit questioning Obama's citizenship is tossed out by California court

By Denny Walsh | The Sacramento Bee

A state appellate court in Sacramento on Monday threw out a lawsuit claiming President Barack Obama is not eligible to occupy the White House because he is not a natural-born citizen of the United States.

The court did not deal with the citizenship issue, instead ruling that the California secretary of state, who oversees elections, and the state's Electoral College members are not legally responsible to certify presidential candidates as qualified for the office.

Under the terms of the U.S. Constitution's 12th Amendment, that responsibility rests solely with Congress, a unanimous three-justice panel of the 3rd District Court of Appeal declared.

"The members of the Senate and the House of Representatives are well qualified to adjudicate any objections to ballots for allegedly unqualified candidates," the justices said.
