Today it was announced, the citizenship of President-elect Barack Obama has been challenged again, via another lawsuit, this time by former Senate opponent, Republican, Alan Keyes.

As I stated a month ago, the issue is not going away, and this recent legal case proves just that. Obama should settle the issue once and for all, as I wrote last month.

Former Obama opponent now suing to prove President-elect's citizenship

A former opponent of Barack Obama's has come back to haunt him over questions regarding Obama's citizenship.

According to a press release from the American Independent Party, former presidential candidate Alan Keyes and other members of the party have filed suit in California Superior Court in Sacramento to stop the state from giving its electoral votes to President-elect Barack Obama until documentary evidence is provided to prove Obama is indeed a natural born citizen of the United States.

Some conservatives have questioned Obama's citizenship in recent months. Obama says he was born in Hawaii in 1961.

Keyes also ran against Obama as a Republican for the U.S. Senate seat in Illinois in 2004. Obama won that election to serve his first and only term in the U.S. Senate.
