“Obama’s Lack of Constitutional Eligibility”

The November 30, 2009 national edition of the Washington Times featured a full-page ad by the anti-Obama website ProtectOurLiberty.org, claiming that Barack Obama is not a natural-born citizen of the United States. The ad copy claims that under a 60-year-old British law, President Obama is a citizen of Britain and “is currently also a British protected person and/or a British citizen to this day.” ProtectOurLiberty.org is run by Charles F. Kerchner, Jr., a plaintiff in a birther lawsuit filed against President Obama in New Jersey.
