Orly Taitz has a new plan to remove President Barack Obama from office. 

The South Orange County resident who works as a dentist/realtor/lawyer is apparently undaunted by a judge's refusal to stop Obama's second-term swearing-in.

Now Taitz hopes to arrest Obama in Connecticut, she announced on her website Wednesday.

Why Connecticut? Connecticut is where she traces Obama's Social Security number. According to Taitz, Obama's 9-digit identity is shared by a Connecticut resident born in 1890. This is disputed by The Fogbow, a website created to debunk critics of Obama's birth record, who are popularly known as "birther" conspiracy theorists.

Taitz hopes a Connecticut judge will issue an arrest warrantbased on the testimony of three state residents who claim Obama violated election laws. This is based on Section 9 from the state's election code:

  • Upon the written complaint of any three electors of a town in which a violation of any law relating to elections has occurred to any judge of the superior court for the judicial district within which the offense has been committed, supported by oath or affirmation that the complainants have good reason to believe and do believe that the allegations therein contained are true and can be proved, such judge shall issue a warrant for the arrest of the accused.

Taitz announced she found three Connecticut residents willing to sign affidavits accusing Obama of election fraud the same day she sent out an appeal for such support.
