The case regarding President Obama’s eligibility to be on the Georgia ballot (coming before the courts in Atlanta, Georgia on January 26, 2012) could have a trickle down affect on others running for President in the 2012 election as well.

If the court finds him ineligible; then this could affect two current GOP Candidates running for the same office.

If the court decides that they must be the child of “natural born” parents meaning that both parents must have been born in the United States – then there could be complications for Santorum and Romney.


Barack Obama: Obama was born on August 4, 1961, at Kapiolani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital (now called Kapiolani Medical Center for Women and Children) in Honolulu, Hawaii, and is the first President to have been born in Hawaii. His mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, was born in Wichita, Kansas, and was of mostly English ancestry, along with Scottish, Irish, German, and Swiss. His father, Barack Obama, Sr., was a Luo from Nyang’oma Kogelo, Nyanza Province, Kenya.
