1/31/12 AND OBJECTORS NATURAL BORN LAW MEMORANDUM AMICUS BRIEF THAT PROVES BARACK OBAMA IS NOT A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN. During the hearing conducted Feb. 2, 2012 on the Objection, Objector requested to speak before the Board, but he was denied. Regardless of whether the timely submitted aforementioned Exhibit and Exception to the Hearing Examiners Recommendation to Board were erroneously excluded or spoliated from the Illinois Public Record, an immediate emergency rehearing on the evidence submitted by the Objector is warranted by the board. Candidate Obamas attorney argued and the Board appears to erroneously believe that dicta from an Indiana Appellate Court case (Anekey v. Governor of Indiana 916 N.E. 2d 678 (In. App. 2009)) overrides the U.S. Supreme Court precedent Minor v. Happersett on the definition of Natural Born Citizen. Candidate Obama is a Constitutionally ineligible candidate for President and he cannot possibly have valid nomination papers, because any nominating petition signed would be fraudulent on its face. The Illinois State Election Board has been duly informed of Candidate Obamas U.S. Constitutional ineligibility under Article II, Section 1, Clause 5, of the U.S. Constitution. If the Board allows Candidate Obama on the ballot, they commit massive fraud against the citizens of the state of Illinois. Respectfully Submitted,

OBJECTORS EXCEPTION TO RECOMMENDATION OF THE HEARING EXAMINER

DATED JANUARY 27, 2012 NOW COMES Objector Michael Jackson, self-represented, and moves to take Exception to Hearing Examiners Recommendation dated January 27, 2012. Regarding RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE HEARING EXAMINER takes Exception to the following:

1.

OBJECTOR CONTESTS PARAGRAPH 9 AND 10

Paragraph 9 and 10 are incorrect. Objector did in good faith file a response as proven by Number 10 which is Exhibit 1 of Objectors Opposition to Candidates Motion to Strike and Dismiss Objectors Petition, which Hearing Examiner Tenuto admitted to receiving before the deadline. Due to Objectors error in sending the email to the Examiner and opposing council, the Opposition to the Motion to Strike

did not arrive before the 5p.m. deadline. However the email labeled the Amicus Brief did arrive as Exhibit 1 Amicus Brief on Natural Born for Memorandum of Law for Opposition to Motion to Dismiss. Exhibit 1 is an Amicus Brief that was just accepted into Obama ballot eligibility cases in Georgia, it is not illogical, nonsensical and not worthy of consideration. On its face as an Amicus Brief that proves Obama is NOT Constitutionally eligible. The Examiner appears to have made this judgment out of context. The Amicus Brief is a thorough legal brief based in law which 100% supports Objectors argument that Obama is NOT a Natural Born Citizen because of post 14th Amendment Supreme Court ruling Minor v. Happersett, 88 U.S. pg. 167-168 (1875). Minor v. Happersett, 88 U.S. pg. 167-68 (1875): Additions might always be made to the citizenship of the United States in two ways: first, by birth, and second, by naturalization. This is apparent from the Constitution itself, for it provides that no person except a natural-born citizen, or a citizen of the United States at the time of the adoption of the Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President, and that Congress shall have power to establish a uniform rule of naturalization. Thus new citizens may be born or they may be created by naturalization. The Constitution does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common-law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or naturalborn citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners. Some authorities go further and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the citizenship of their parents. As to this class there have been doubts, but never as to the first. For the purposes of this case it is not necessary to solve these doubts. It is sufficient for everything we have now to consider that all children born of citizen parents within the jurisdiction are themselves citizens (emphasis added).

Objector resubmits the above referenced Amicus Brief by Leo Donofrio as his adopted Memorandum of Law for this petition. (Exhibit 1) 2. OBJECTOR CONTESTS PARAGRAPH 4 UNDER MOTION TO DISMISS The Hearing Examiner contends that the birth certificate attached as Exhibit A clearly establishes the Candidates eligibility for office as a Natural Born Citizen. The Hearing Examiner is legally incorrect on his assessment that Obamas birth certificate proves he is a Natural Born U.S. citizen. Obamas counsel has submitted never before seen prima facie evidence to the Illinois State Elections Board. Obamas long form Hawaii birth certificate was not available to the Board during the 2008 election cycle. This birth certificate proves that Obama is a native born citizen of the United States and on its face also proves that Candidate Obama is NOT a NATURAL Born Citizen. His mother Stanley Ann Dunham was a U.S. Citizen but his father Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., was a Kenyan foreign national with British Citizenship that was passed to Candidate Obama by right at his birth under the British Nationality Act of 1948: 4)Subject to the provisions of this section, every person born within the United Kingdom and Colonies after the commencement of this Act shall be a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies by

birth: (5)Subject to the provisions of this section, a person born after the commencement of this Act shall be a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies by descent if his father is a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies at the time of the birth ...." Further, Obama, Sr. was only on a student visa in the United States at the time of Candidate Obamas birth. (Exhibit 2) Candidate Obama, a British born citizen, cannot possibly be a U.S. Natural Born Citizen. Moreover, the federal government recognizes that there is a legal difference between Native born and Natural Born citizens: (http://www.uscis.gov/ilink/docView/SLB/HTML/SLB/0-0-0-1/0-0-0-45104/0-0-048602.html). Candidate Obamas attorney argued and Hearing Examiner appears to erroneously believe that dicta from an Indiana Appellate Court case (Ankeny v. Governor of Indiana 916 N.E. 2d 678 (In. App. 2009) overrides the U.S. Supreme Court precedent Minor v. Happersett on the definition of Natural Born Citizen. Candidate Obama is a Constitutionally ineligible candidate for President and he cannot possibly have valid nomination papers, because any nominating petition signed would be fraudulent on its face. The Illinois State Election Board has been duly informed of Candidate Obamas U.S. Constitutional ineligibility under Article II, Section 1, Clause 5, of the U.S. Constitution. If the Board allows Candidate Obama on the ballot, they commit massive fraud against the citizens of the state of Illinois.

Respectfully Submitted,

In addition, supporting case law has been adjudicated by the Ll.S, Supreme Court which confirms and

helps define a Natural Born Citizen. 1. The Venus, 12 U,S. 8 Cranch 253 289 (1814): Justice Livingston, who wrote the unanimous decision, quoted the entire 212nd paragraph from the French edition of Vattel: 'The citizens are the members of the civilsociety; bound to this society by certain duties, and

subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives or indigenes are those born in the country of parents who are citizens. Society not being able to subsist and to perpetuate itself but by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights." 2. Shanks v. Dupont, 28 U.S. 3 Pet. 242 242 (1830): Justice Story, who gave
the ruling, cites the principle of citizenship enshrined in his definition of a "natural born citizen": ... she

might well be deemed under the circumstances of this case to hold the citizenship of her father, for children born in a country, continuing while under age in the family of the father, partake of his national character as a citizen of that country.
In light of these facts it is important the public his birth certificate to know that on April 27, 2011, Barack Hussein Obama released to servers. It clearly shows Barack Hussein in December 1963, it was
