Isn’t the crux of the matter really whether he qualifies as “natural born”?
The other factors are influencing peripheral facts in that direction, most of which tend to disprove not prove he is a natural born American qualified to be president.
ALSO - what about the Philadelphia lawsuit asking for him to prove this or cease and desist?
AND - will someone please confirm that if we are in a state of war at the time of elections, the elections can be postponed or suspended by Presidential edict?
It is extremely unlikely that the President would ever suspend national elections even during a war. It never happened in any war. Even when the national capital was under attack or threat of attack. G-d forbid we ever experience a massive nuclear attack — that alone, and a massive one, not just a one or two nukes, but many — might cause a suspending of a national election.
Legally, yes. Not being a 'natural born' citizen is a total show stopper. zerObama would have no fall back position. NOTHING can be done to fix it.
From a practical political standpoint, all that needs to happen is to demonstrate to the electorate that he cannot be trusted. If he deliberately lies about his name, what can we trust him to tell the truth about? Anything else they learn about his character is icing on the cake. For starters, if he changed his name as an adult, why did he chose a muslim name, if he's sooooo not a muslim? Either way he's a phony.

They guy who brought it seems to be quite the flake. I think it will be dismissed out-of-hand, and will vaccinate zerObama against other lawsuits long enough to get on the ballot everywhere.

I think that it could be done in theory. In practice? No. It's never been done even when the country was torn in two. If the current occupant of the White House tried it? I hesitate to imagine what the moonbats would do.
There is no COnstitutional provision for such a suspension. Lincoln suspended the 14th Amendment for the duration but he did not suspend elections. I suppose a president could do that but the opposition would cancel out any benefits. He would only do it if he really were bent on doing the Caesar thing. That is not so likely in this society as in, say, Rome because the military is not personally loyal to him. In Rome the army was raised and personally loyal to its commander. Wars were actually run on a sort of free enterprise model during the Republic.
I am aware of no way for the President to suspend the elections.
For one thing, elections, even presidential elections, are run on a state-by-state basis, not federal.
More to the point, however: the United States is not in a state of war, having declared war on no one.
Why do you ask?
