BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- President Obama has a forged birth certificate and is ineligible to be on the Alabama Democratic Primary ballot because he is not a citizen, a Birmingham man has said in a lawsuit filed in Jefferson County Circuit Court.

The suit asks Circuit Judge Helen Shores Lee to hold an evidentiary hearing and issue an injunction against Mark Kennedy, the Alabama Democratic Party chairman, from putting Obama on the March 13 party primary ballot.

"Barack Hussein Obama, II, is not a natural-born citizen and is not qualified to be on the ballot as a presidential candidate," Albert E Hendershot Jr., who filed the suit on his own behalf, said in an accompanying affidavit. "In 2008, when Mr. Obama ran for the U.S. Presidency, he was never vetted and he never provided documentary evidence of his natural-born status."

Although Obama's 1961 birth in Hawaii is a settled fact with most voters, some people remain unconvinced.

Hendershot's suit claims he has "staggering" evidence that Obama is using a fraudulently obtained social security number issued in Connecticut. His also claims the Obama birth certificate from Hawaii is a forgery and says he has other evidence of misrepresentation, fraud and identity theft.

Hendershot has requested oral arguments. Lee has not set any hearings in the case.
