However many of the Obama eligibility cases dismissed for lack of standing have been state and local level cases. For example:

It's more of a lack of political will by the states and federal courts than standing. "Standing" is a court created gate keeping tool to keep from hearing cases. If they want to grant standing or not they will find a way. The clown president that you support will not have a Dim Congress after November. When duh Dems lose Congress, the courts lack of will should subside and they may sprout a backbone.

Time will tell, however at the state level there’s been no difference in courts rejecting Obama eligibility lawsuits in states that have Republican Governors, Republican Attorneys General and Republican control of the state legislature. For example, the Ankeny v Daniels lawsuit in Indiana that declared Obama to be natural born; Obama was defended by the Republican Attorney General of Indiana and in Hawaii, the Governor and the Attorney General are both Republicans. They have both refused to order the release of Obama’s birth certificate.

Meanwhile at the US Supreme Court, there is a five to four conservative majority who have now rejected eight different Obama eligibility lawsuits.

The courts often tend to function independently of legislatures due to separation of powers.
