Suits against Obama rejected
Posted: 01:47 PM ET
WASHINGTON (CNN) — Another Supreme Court justice on Wednesday refused to hear appeals arguing that Barack Obama is not eligible to be president because he is not a “natural born citizen.”

Justice Anthony Kennedy rejected two separate claims from attorney Philip Berg. One argued that Obama should be disqualified because his father was Kenyan, and the other questioned Obama’s claim to have been born in Hawaii. Obama has produced a Hawaii birth certificate, but Berg doubts it is genuine.

David Souter had denied Berg’s appeals last month. Berg still can ask any of the court’s seven other justices to refer the claim to the full court.
