UPDATE 12-04-08: There is an organzation called “We the People Foundation” that is taking out a full page ad in Thursday’s Chicago Tribute asking President-elect to prove his citizenship. You can see the full page ad here.
The Chicago Tribute article on the matter can be read here. The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear and rule on this on Friday.

This has become a topic of discussion. The United States Constitution has guidelines on who can be president. It says:
No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
Apparently, according to some, Obama has been unable or unwilling to prove that he is an American citizen according to the requirements of the Constitution. Some feel this could cause a constitutional crisis. I just post this as an interesting news item. Interesting, hum!
