There are two American citizens with standing to challenge Obama’s citizenship. They were directly impacted if he is not qualified under the Constitution to hold the office of President.
Those citizens are John McCain and Sarah Palin but neither of them has ever mentioned Obama’s citizenship status and they have refused to be named as a party to any of the lawsuits challenging Obama’s status nor have they filed amicus briefs for the Supreme Court.

Thats your opinion.

McCain and Palin are political creatures. Leo, Berg, etc. are doing the dirty work for them. Perhaps its more a sign of their incompetence that they have not looked into this or more likely that McCain is no more an American citizen then obama (read Leo’s case before replying).

By your logic, then Alan Keyes has standing as well. Not what you'd like, I'd guess. Yet if it is read too narrowly who then might have standing?

By such narrow application of legal logic was Dred Scott ruled not a full human, along with any other African Negro and any descendants.

Yet you may be not right too -- the Supreme Court could rule that not even the candidates have standing. For perhaps it is that Chief Justice Tanney had much in common with Justice Scalia, in terms of how to read the law. For that is how it went down for the tragic case of Terri Schindler-Schiavo, pure and innocent of any crime, and an abandoned wife in all practical effect, among the class the Bible would call a "widow and orphan". She was damned to a judicial order for her death, carried out by hundreds in uniform, because the court could give her no standing as a human being entitled to a presumption of life.

And would you be happy if that is to be how the Supreme Court -- the men from Trenton, the lady from Princeton, and the others -- rule? That no voter has standing in such a matter, the matter of the Presidency?

What a ruling to be had as we come to the 228th anniversary of the night some three thousand suffering patriots and rebels crossed the Delaware to secure a future of Liberty to themselves and their prosperity! That ...

Dred Scott is no human, Terri Schindler has no inalienable right to Life, and we -- the citizens -- may have no expectation of access to a redress in this fraud of an election for the most powerful position in the world?

Is that your happy outcome?
