"There appears to be a lack of understanding, legal precedent, or any clarity at all, in our founding documents and laws that describe who, and when the Presidential requirement to be a NBC is to be asserted or challenged. This needs fixing."

It's called the Twentieth Amendment, Section 3. The burden of proof is on the one seeking the office and he/she must offer this proof to Congress. If there is no proof, he/she has "failed to qualify" and Congress must name an interim president. In this instance, Congress has simply ignored it's oath to support the Constitution and we have a usurpation as the result. We currently do not have a President, just a "resident".

Section 3. If, at the time fixed for the beginning of the term of the President, the President elect shall have died, the Vice President elect shall become President. If a President shall not have been chosen before the time fixed for the beginning of his term, or if the President elect shall have failed to qualify, then the Vice President elect shall act as President until a President shall have qualified; and the Congress may by law provide for the case wherein neither a President elect nor a Vice President elect shall have qualified, declaring who shall then act as President, or the manner in which one who is to act shall be selected, and such person shall act accordingly until a President or Vice President shall have qualified.

Back once again as to "WHO" and "WHEN" of my first post. I don't see this happening in the Congress that convened in Jan 2009 or Jan 2011. IMHO I do not see how the citizens of the USA have any input other than to throw out the entire CONGRESS. Good luck there.

Might have started by electing a different GOP 2010 House leadership team - they wouldn't touch ZERO's eligibility. In 2009 the COMMIES owned the WH and THE CONGRESS.
