| Description | Kansas has added a little suspense to the 2012 presidential race.
Is President Barack Obama a natural-born citizen? Can he be on the Kansas ballot Nov. 6?
The issue was raised Thursday afternoon by a Manhattan, Kan., man who appeared before a state panel that decides eligibility questions about who should be on the ballot in this very incredibly red state.
In this case, Joe Montgomery, 51, is objecting to Obama being on the ballot, arguing that the president isn’t a natural-born U.S. citizen because he wasn’t born to two parents who were both citizens.. He said Obama’s father wasn’t a citizen.
“I am here to uphold the rule of law and the Constitution of the United States. I think somebody needs to do it,” Montgomery said. |
