Ga. Lawsuit Attempting to Keep Obama Off Ballot
Complaint: Obama Not a Natural-Born U.S. Citizen

ATLANTA - Lawsuits in Georgia are trying to keep President Barack Obama off the election ballot by claiming he is not a natural-born citizen.

Late last week, an administrative judge ruled the president should appear in a court hearing in Atlanta.

Computer repair shop owner Carl Swensson, a Republican activists, is one of the people arguing that President Obama's name should be removed from the Georgia ballot this year.

"He is either eligible or not, that's what this judge has to determine. If you want to call it frivolous, you can call it what you will," said Swensson.

He contends the president is not a natural-born U.S. Citizen because his father was from Kenya.

"It's very, very important and the reason for that being important is that the founders wanted to preclude the possibility of us having a president with divided loyalties,"  aid Swensson.

His case and others are to be heard this week by an administrative judge.

Deputy Chief Michael Malihi has refused to block a subpoena from another plaintiff requiring the president to appear in court in Atlanta.

In an order, Malihi said of the president, "Defendant's motion suggests that no president should be compelled to attend a court hearing. This may be correct. But defendant has failed to enlighten the court with any legal authority."

The state Democratic Party has produced a web site response to the complaints.

Many lawsuits have been filed across the country regarding the president's citizenship status, so far without success.

The Atlanta lawyer representing President Obama could not be reached for comment on Monday. The ballot challenges are to be heard in court on Thursday.
