"Standing" is merely a concept created by the federal judiciary in order to help courts dismiss citizen suits against government officials (and thereby reduce court case loads). IMHO, any citizen should have the standing to sue any public official who elective office for which he is not constitutionally qualified. Most certainly military officers should have standing with regard to a president's constitutional qualifications, since they are sworn to uphold the Constitution and would not be doing so if they were to take orders from a "president" who was not qualified.
Orly Taitz should be congratulated for her courage to mention Lt. Col. Lakin in her argument.
Is standing actually "law"? Well, I don't think you'll find it in any federal statutes, but lawyers would say that it is part of "case law," because it is discussed in court decisions.

I thought she did a credible job, as I listened to the CSPAN video.
I also caught something that deJute (US Atty) said, when asked by a judge: what would be the appropriate time to challenge?
His response: the election.
We seem to have one coming up...
