Dubai (AlArabiya.net) - The U.S. Supreme Court is reviewing Friday the possibility of accepting a lawsuit filed by a U.S. lawyer, of Lebanese origin, aiming at preventing U.S. president-elect Barack Obama from becoming president, citing suspicions over his birth certificate, a Saudi newspaper reported on Friday.

	The lawyer stresses that the Supreme Court should force Obama to show his birth certificate

The lawyer, Joseph Farah, argues is his case that Obama does not have a birth certificate proving that he is American by birth, not by nationalization, which might contradict the U.S. constitution, the London-based al-Hayat reported.

Farah launched a previous campaign against former U.S. president Bill Clinton through a series of news features over the suicide of the White House lawyer Fence Foster in 1993.

Farah, a Christian who leads an anti-Arab and anti-Islam website, gathered more than 45,000 signatures on a document to urge the constitutional authorities to commit the president-elect to show his original birth certificate.

The Lebanese lawyer alleges that Obama wasn’t born in Hawaii as he claims; but in Mombasa, Kenya. He gained the U.S. nationality from his U.S. mother without having the needed conditions or requirements. He stresses that the Supreme Court should force Obama to show his original birth certificate to make sure that he is suitable for the presidency before Jan.20.
