HERE WE GO AGAIN: Larry Klayman Just Can’t Quit Obama, Files ‘Deportation Petition’

Font Size:

Larry Klayman has submitted a petition to a handful of federal officials in an attempt to initiate a legal process that would result in the deportation of President Barack Obama.

This week, Klayman sent his 20-page “deportation petition” to Thomas S. Winkowskim, the acting director for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement; Thomas Homan, a director of enforcement and removal operations at the Department of Homeland Security; and Sarah Kendall, a fraud detection director at DHS.

“As demonstrated by the evidence established in exhibits and attached affidavits, there is prima facie evidence that Barack Hussein Obama is removable from the United States and in violation of the law under the legally recognized categories of falsely claiming U.S. citizenship,” Klayman wrote, according to U.S. News & World Report.

“Even if a legitimate birth certificate exists, Barack Obama’s repeated use of a clearly forged birth certificate is still a crime,” the conservative legal activist added.

Klayman is a former Justice Department lawyer and the founder of Judicial Watch. In December 2013, he successfully sued the National Security Agency and the Obama administration on constitutional grounds over the massive surveillance of phone records. (His victory is currently stayed pending appeal.)

However, he just can’t quit his years-long, increasingly bizarre quest to demonstrate that President Obama is not a natural-born citizen under Article II of the United States Constitution.

Klayman disputes considerable evidence that Obama was born in Hawaii in 1961. During the 2008 presidential campaign, Obama released a “Certification of Live Birth,” a document produced by the state of Hawaii certifying the state holds records that a person was born there.

Additionally, two Hawaiian newspaper announcements from 1961 informed the world of Obama’s birth. Those newspapers received information directly from hospitals.

Further still, Obama’s mother was an American citizen, which, under federal law, would have put toddler Barack Obama on track to become an American citizen without regard to the location of his birth.

None of these facts, or the fact that Obama’s ability to be president will expire forever in two years, has satisfied Klayman.

In his “deportation petition” stunt, the activist insists that Obama must be kicked out of the country because “he has falsified various birth and other documents with regard to obtaining a U.S. passport and other privileges as an alleged American citizen,” according to WorldNetDaily.

“Barack Hussein Obama has relied upon a birth certificate from the State of Hawaii which is clearly a forgery — that is, not a valid birth certificate — and indeed also a rather sloppy forgery with easily detected, unmistakable errors and defects,” Klayman argues.

“It is clear, based on a mountain of evidence as set forth in and attached to the petition, that the president and his agents have falsified documents, such as his birth certificate and Social Security number, to qualify for the privileges of American citizenship such that his citizenship, which is based on false pretenses, must be nullified.”

Klayman also maintains that Obama is really “Barry Soetoro,” according to WND, because that name belonged to the future president when he lived as a child in Indonesia and the moniker was “never changed back to his name at birth.”

In the highly unlikely event Klayman’s “deportation petition” is successful, it would mark the first time a sitting U.S. president has been removed from the office and forced out of the country.

The country to which Obama would be deported is unclear. Despite a luxurious abundance of travel on the taxpayer dime, he has lived virtually his entire life in the United States. (RELATED: The Obamas Have Spent Over $44,351,777.12 In Taxpayer Cash On Travel)

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
