PHILADELPHIA - Presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama, and the Democratic National Committee filed a joint motion in federal court Wednesday to dismiss a lawsuit challenging the Illinois senator to prove he's a citizen of the United States. On Aug. 21, four days before the Democratic National Convention, Lafayette Hill attorney Philip Berg filed suit in Philadelphia seeking to remove the Democratic candidate from the November ballot claiming he was born in Kenya and not in America. Berg asked the court for a temporary restraining order "prohibiting Obama from being formally confirmed as the Democratic Party nominee for president," according to court papers. The Federal Election Commission was also named as a defendant in the legal action. A day after the suit was filed, a federal judge denied the motion for a temporary restraining order. More...
