State asks judge to dismiss Obama 'natural born citizen' case
By Sam Hemingway @ Burlington Free Press
The lawsuit brought by a former Republican U.S. Senate candidate seeking to have President Barack Obama tossed from Vermont’s November election ballot because he is allegedly not a natural-born citizen is “legally unsound” and should be dismissed, the state of Vermont contends in court papers.
“Plaintiff lacks standing to sue, has sought relief in the wrong forum, requests relief that cannot be granted and bases his argument on flawed legal reasoning,” Assistant Attorney General Todd W. Daloz wrote in a dismissal motion filed at Washington Superior Court in Montpelier.
Daloz rejected the claim by plaintiff H. Brooke Paige of the town of Washington that Obama is not a natural-born citizen because only one of his parents was an American citizen when Obama was born.
“The Constitution does not require that a candidate for president must be born in this country to parents who are both U.S. citizens,” Daloz wrote.
Paige claims the country’s founders adopted the term “natural born citizen” as a precondition for a president from a French philosopher who said having both parents be citizens was insurance that a president would be loyal to the United States and no other country.
