“Standing, and Burden of Proof.”

Thank you for your comments. As we try to find the best thinking, let me put a finer point on my view.

A single Senator and Representative on Jan 6 can challenge O’s eligibility. He and his handlers have thought this through and we can expect he will present documentation that tends to qualify him. In effect he will shift the burden back to the Republicans to disprove the authenticity of that documentation. Developing such proof could require more time than is available between Jan 6 and Jan 20, in which event he is sworn in and the matter becomes even more political. We have already seen a President screw a young woman out of her day in court, and walk.

As I mentioned earlier, it seems far better to present a formal objection on Jan 6 that is supported by convincing evidence of his ineligibility in order to forestall the swearing in.

One may have standing but any claim has to be timely brought. It is certainly too late to contest his place in the primary election, and any legal action prior to Dec 15 or Jan 6 may well be premature.

It seems relevant here that we did not elect O, we elected electors.

Concur with the complete assessment in your Post #53. However, I believe our elected officials are gutless and the courts corrupt. In other words, the system will not function properly unless forced.

In this case, I contend that we should have our cake and eat it too. Citizens should assert their standing with multiple legal actions, and the Senator & Representative file their objections as you proposed.

Those legitimate demands would force activity by the Legislative and Judicial branches plus the Electoral College. A number of the actions would likely suck in the Several States. Ultimately, some of the legal actions would survive the gauntlet to the Supreme Court. And the Electors would not be idle.

We should defend the Constitution with more than one arrow in our quiver. Multiple legal actions will help fill the quiver of freedom.

You do realize that he shunned the DNC slate of Electors and has HIs OWN?
