WASHINGTON (AP) - The Supreme Court has turned down an emergency
appeal from a New Jersey man who says President-elect Barack Obama
is ineligible to be president because he was a British subject at
birth.
The court did not comment on its order Monday rejecting the call
by Leo Donofrio of East Brunswick, N.J., to intervene in the
presidential election. Donofrio says that since Obama had dual
nationality at birth - his mother was American and his Kenyan
father at the time was a British subject - he cannot possibly be a
"natural born citizen," one of the requirements the Constitution
lists for eligibility to be president.
Donofrio also contends that two other candidates, Republican
John McCain and Socialist Workers candidate Roger Calero, also are
not natural-born citizens and thus ineligible to be president.

Even Wikipedia clearly describes the criteria.
