WASHINGTON, June 11 (UPI) -- The U.S. Supreme Court Monday, without comment, rejected an appeal of a lawsuit challenging President Barack Obama's eligibility for office.
The court upheld a 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decision upholding a lower court order throwing out the suit that questions Obama's eligibility as "a natural born citizen," arguing that because his father was not a U.S. citizen, Obama is ineligible to hold the presidency.
