Lawsuit Suggests Obama Not US Citizen
Nov. 17 2008, Published 5:33 a.m. ET
Former presidential candidate and right-wing advocate Alan Keyes has sued California to prevent the state from casting its electoral votes for Barack Obama.
Claiming that there are "a number of separate reasons that would make Senator Obama ineligible to serve as President of the United States," Keyes demands to see "documentary proof" that Obama is a "natural born" United States citizen, and not a citizen of England, Indonesia, or Kenya.

A particular sticking point for Keyes is, "According to his biography posted on Wikipedia, Senator Obama was born in Queens Hospital in Hawaii. However, he has never provided the original birth certificate from 1961."
