“...the US Supreme Court has held - without exception - that a person must have standing to bring a Constitutional Challenge.” Could I have a case reference please?

Here is one .

“It is an established principle that to entitle a private individual to invoke the judicial power to determine the validity of executive or legislative action he must show that he has sustained or is immediately in danger of sustaining a direct injury as the result of that action and it is not [418 U.S. 208, 220] sufficient that he has merely a general interest common to all members of the public.” 302 U.S., at 634 . 8 “

The case you cite is not applicable, because the action against Obama is not one about the “validity of executive or legislative action”, in that case, the remedy would be political eg the removal of Congress by de-selection. It is that Obama is Constitutionaly ineligible, no act of Congress is involved in creating this ineligibility, but actions by other parties are involved.
