Birmingham, AL – A judge in Jefferson County has set a hearing for a lawsuit challenging President Barack Obama's citizenship and eligibility to be on Alabama ballots this year.
Circuit Judge Helen Shores has set a Monday hearing.
Birmingham resident Albert E. Hendershot wants Lee to block Obama from being certified as a candidate in Alabama. He says he has ``staggering evidence'' that Obama is using a forged birth certificate and a fake Social Security number.
Democratic Party officials say the president's citizenship and right to serve have been proven. The White House last year released copies of Obama's long-form birth certificate saying he was born in Hawaii.
Federal judges dismissed lawsuits in 2008 and 2009 challenging Obama's citizenship and right to serve as president.
