SACRAMENTO, Calif.- A former opponent of Barack Obama's has come back to haunt him over questions regarding Obama's citizenship.
According to a press release from the American Independent Party, former presidential candidate Alan Keyes and other members of the party have filed suit in California Superior Court in Sacramento to stop the state from giving its electoral votes to President-elect Barack Obama until documentary evidence is provided to prove Obama is indeed a natural born citizen of the United States.
Some conservatives have questioned Obama's citizenship in recent months. Obama says he was born in Hawaii in 1961.
Keyes also ran against Obama as a Republican for the U.S. Senate seat in Illinois in 2004. Obama won that election to serve his first and only term in the U.S. Senate.

Of course, a person would be a citizen if one of their parents is a citizen, but that is not the same thing as a natural born citizen.
Am I right about that? Any constitutional law scholars out there?
And what would happen if, for the sake of the argument, he was found to have been born elsewhere? Would it go to Biden?
In that the electoral college has not met to cast it's votes yet I suppose they could vote for whomever they chose to. Keep in mind though, that McCain was born in Panama which is definitely not a part of the U.S. though it was occupied by the U.S. military.
Aren't US military bases considered US soil?
