The real problem is getting a plaintiff with a cause of action who can get it into a court with jurisdiction in which he has standing to seek a remedy that the court can provide. So far, no one has been able to figure out how to do that.

How about a couple of million American citizens, including some in the military, bring a class action because they are concerned that their president is subject to blackmail by enemies of the U.S. and could make them vulnerable to attack? People could fill out the forms on line and pay a small fee. Would that be feasible?

That’s exactly what I thought when I read David’s post — citizen’s class action. I’m sure he has already considered and ruled that out however. That is why military is brought up so often. They would have standing.

Another thought - What about Electoral College? Electors? Would they have standing? If one of the candidates wasn’t qualified to run, the electors were presented with a false choice or fraudulently induced to think they were voting for a candidate who was qualified but, in actuality, was not.

“Under the Electoral College system, we do not elect the President and Vice President through a direct nation-wide vote. We select electors, who pledge their electoral vote to a specific candidate.

In December, the electors of each state meet to vote for President and Vice President. The Presidential election is decided by the combined results of the 51 (the 50 states and the District of Columbia) state elections. It is possible that an elector could ignore the results of the popular vote, but that occurs very rarely.”
