I prolly didn't word that properly. What I was getting at is that since the qualifications are in the US Constitution, the DoJ would be responsible for determining who could be President. The states could have Mickey Mouse on the ballots if they so desired....that doesn't mean he would be seated if he won. Like everyone else here, I'm just trying to figure out whose responsible for seeing that the Constitution is followed.

Got a question for you. With all this flap about the legitimacy of Obama’s citizenship, who in government is responsible to ensure that the Constitutional criteria for assuming the office of POTUS are met?

The answer to “who’s responsible” is, it seems to me:

1) The voters

2) The members of the electoral college

3) The House and Senate, in receiving the votes of the electoral college

4) The courts, first by way of challenges to placement on the ballot, and conceivably by challenge to the outcome of the count of the electoral college.

I would rank them in about that order of desireability as a matter of constitutional principle, but your mileage could easily vary on that question.
