"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.
!. This is not about something that the “government” did. This is about something that was done to the government - and to the American people by fraud.
2 and 3. I raise the specter that some outrageous character DID get on the ballot, and what’s more despite the Constitutional prohibition of folks like him serving as President, he was ostensibly elected, and sworn in in spite of that Constitution he is sworn to defend. What a joke. If it weren’t so serious, I might be able to laugh about it.
4. The American people to not have the power, or the authority to elect a non natural born citizen to the Presidency, regardless of his popularity, charisma, transformativeness, or party affiliation. We have this little thing called the “Constitution”. Obama may not like it, but he ought not be free to ignore it.
This had better be fixed in the Courts, because the American People have an absolute right to demand that one way or the other this unqualified usurper be removed. If the courts can’t do it, the people will - and that will be very messy, painful, bloody and traumatic. It will be much better if the courts man up to their responsibility and deal with it bloodlessly.
