If his suit was thrown out based on his not having legal standing, who DOES have standing to question a candidate’s eligibility?
If a private citizen doesn’t have standing, then I’d suggest that a secretary of state, by virtue of their responsibility to ensure legality and correctness of the ballots has standing (certainly one of the 57 would have the guts to raise the issue). Where is Katherine Harris when we need her?
And if the secretary of state doesn’t have standing, then the electors of each state should have standing as it is their responsibility to cast the official state’s ballots.
And if they don’t have standing, then the chief justice of the Supreme Court has standing as it is generally his responsibility to administer the oath of office and officially make the winner the President.
To ignore this, as I think the supremes will do makes a mockery of the Constitution of the US.
And if all that fails, and Obama does prevail and takes the oath to “protect and defend the constitution of the US”
then it is up to the House of Representatives to ensure the integrity of the constitution by impeaching him as he will have effectively violated the constitution without a doubt!
We all know how far this House led by lady Nancy will take this.
And finally, whichever agency issues the checks to federal employees also has a responsibility to ensure their employees are legal employees before issuing their pay checks.
And by the way, doesn’t the department of State have a responsibility to ensure one is a citizen before issuing a passport? Perhaps this is the reason Obama never travelled overseas before he had a senatorial diplomatic passport? I bet every one of us that has a passport had to show proof of birth and citizenship !!
