Everyone, including the SCOTUSA, Congress and the executive branch know Zero isn’t eligable to be president by any reasonable streatch of the imagination. Only children born from the union of two US citizen’s is elgible to become our president. He could have been born in Chicago and he’s still inelgible.

Why doesn't anyone pick up on this and run with it? I mean, if it's true then isn't it a slam dunk? Maybe no one wants to refer to the Constitution?

This needs to be decided in the USSC.... But how many yrs will it take to get there, and by then what will the court look like?

At least one of the lawsuits does have the issue of 2 citizen parents as one of its pleadings. So far most lawsuits are getting no traction, and are denied on the basis of standing or some other excuse to evade the issue.

I have said for a while that my main interest in the case is that it appears that there is no established procedure to determine a President-elect's qualification to serve.

Essentially, our presidential nominees seem to be vetted only by party hacks, then everyone else defers to the party hacks in putting whoever on the ballot. Since there is no established procedure that is followed, there is no procedure or standard to challenge. And it goes on and on in circles.

The McCain Birthers in the Rat party, of course, actually went so far as to hold a congressional hearing on his eligibility. But, as seen, whether that happens or not is more attributable to politics than questions on the merits.

My point is this: state laws such as this one would be very helpful in causing litigation, both as to the procedure and the standard applied in the procedure to evaluate eligibility. This might get the SCOTUS to rule on NBC explicitly in the context of presidential qualifications (i.e., what the original intent of the Founders was in restricting the presidency to NBC).
