California attorney Orly Taitz filed a motion last Friday in the United States District Court, for the Central District of California, requesting authentification of a document purporting to be a copy of the original Kenyan birth certificate of Barack Hussein Obama, II, who was born at Mombassa’s Coast General Hospital on August 4, 1961.

The alleged certificate bears the signature of the deputy registrar of Coast Province, Joshua Simon Oduya, and was issued as a certified copy of the original in February 1964.

Taitz's motion, filed on behalf of the 44 plaintiffs in a federal lawsuit against President Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clintion, and others, requests the purported evidence of Obama's birth – both the alleged birth certificate and foreign records not yet obtained – be preserved from destruction, asks for permission to legally request documents from Kenya and seeks a subpoena for deposition from Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
 


Copy of Obama's Kenyan birth certificate

"I filed the motion with the court asking for expedited discovery, which would allow me to start subpoenas and depositions even before Obama and the government responds," Taitz told WorldNetDaily. "I am asking the judge to give me the power to subpoena the documents from the Kenyan embassy and to require a deposition from Hillary Clinton so they will be forced to authenticate [the birth certificate].” "I'm forcing the issue, where Obama will have to respond," she said.

The lawsuit, claiming that Obama is not a “natural born citizen of the United States,” is challenging his constitutional eligibility to serve in the office of president. Plaintiffs include a number of military personnel, along with representatives Glenn Casada of Tennessee, Timothy Comerford of New Hampshire, Cynthia Davis of Missouri, Casey Guernsey of Missouri, Frank Niceley of Tennessee, Larry Rappaport of New Hampshire, Eric Swafford of Tennessee, former U.N. Ambassador Alan Keys, and former U.S. Senator Jerry O’Neil of Montana.
