Apparently, citizens have “no standing” to question the emperor.

Fidel Castro could be nominated, placed on ballots.. ( With thousands upon thousands of citizens screaming at their government officials the entire time to check his credentials).

Citizens could elect Fidel Castro. ( With citizens hammering at elected officials and badgering their so-called “conservative” talk show weenies begging them to cover the issue.)

The Electoral College could vote for Fidel Castro for U.S. President. ( Again with thousands of citizen writing, faxing and calling in to object.).

Attorney Berg might even get Fidel's case all the way to the Supreme Court. ( With a minimum of 250,000 FedEX letters, and other letters and notifications by the thousands upon thousands, arriving begging the Supreme court to hear the case.)

The Congress could approve him.( With thousands of citizens writing, calling, and faxing in objection.)

And...Citizens have “no standing” to go to court and ask that our Constitution be upheld, and Fidel Castro’s natural born status examined.

Somehow, I don't think this is what our Founding Fathers had in mind.

"Apparently, citizens have “no standing” to question the emperor."

There are long-standing rules about "standing". They aren't some new invention. Without them, there could be 100 million lawsuits being heard about everything the government did.

"Fidel Castro could be nominated, placed on ballots."

In some jurisdictions I suppose he could. But since he is well known to be an alien and ineligible, I suspect he wouldn't get on many. But it's curious, you guys keep raising this spectre of some outrageous character getting on the ballot. They still have to win! There's not much chance of that.

"Citizens could elect Fidel Castro...The Electoral College could vote for Fidel Castro for U.S. President."

Well, yeah, they COULD. Not actually very likely is it? And if it were, you'd have a pretty serious problem with the people of this country, no matter who was running, wouldn't you?

"Somehow, I don't think this is what our Founding Fathers had in mind."

What the founding fathers had in mind was that a natural born citizen be President, and that a particular procedure be followed in selecting him. On both counts, that has happened. There is no legitimate issue here.
