Authored by Jack Maskell, the legislative attorney in the American Law Division of the Congressional Research Service (CRS), the document was a memorandum written for the subject "Qualifications for the Office of President of the United States and Legal Challenges to the Eligibility of a Candidate"

He explained he wrote it only for distribution to congressional offices, not for public distribution, and it was not posted on any of the CRS report sites where the public might have been able to find it.

The document reveals that no authority, including Congress has the duty to verify a candidate running for POTUS be eligible.

This would seem to discredit the Court’s position the POTUS eligibility is handled by Congress.

The joint-session of Congress considers objections involving the actual votes cast by the electors of each state.  The Court has been overreaching in stating the POTUS eligibility rest with Congress on the theoretical possibility of some Congress member raising an objection of ineligibility even though it would not be related to actual electoral vote count.

In the end this document does prove that there may be real possibility that Obama is ineligible and it certainly vindicates those who want to see proof of Obama’s birth in Hawaii.
