A bunch of legalese from the same profession that defended OJ Simpson.
The truth is, if he was born in Kenya, his Presidency is illegitimate. If he refused to stand down, we would not have a functioning Executive Branch - at all.
Imagine the firestorm of frustration and civil dissent as the economy continues to tank with an obvious usurper on the throne and the sheeple are told they can shove the constitution.
Pop some corn and watch the drama continue to unfold.
Laws apply only to Republicans and other normal people. Radical leftists are given a free pass.
If someone were to produce clear proof that the Messiah is a usurper, the media would bury it faster than it buried the story about Clinton and Juanita Broaddrick.
THE GOP would win in huge blowouts in 2010 (something that might happen anyway) and IMPEACH HIM! GAME OVER!
Do military personnel have standing?
Another blatant example of how the left feels about The Constitution.

So, the next issue would be the courts. With a congress in tow, it could easily be an Andrew Jackson moment, "Chief Roberts has made his decision, now let him enforce it." Once again, nothing happens.
The REAL chaos would involve laws signed by this guy and the challenges to their legality. And THAT could go on for a decade. So, no, no one up there wants to see this unfold, which is why no Republicans have really pushed it.
We would get justice outside the courts.
Justice existed as a thing, as an idea before formal, bureaucratic courts were set up.
They, the courts do not own, nor have exclusive rights to a thing called ‘justice’.
Obama would resign, or the country would riot.
Obama, being a man of high moral and ethical standards and impeccable integrity, would surely resign the office. Just like Slick Willy did. Snark.
My prayers would be answered. . . . . . . . .
Maybe one of “The Rich”, who Obama wants to tax to pay for every hare-brained scheme he can think of, might be in a small enough group to have standing...
I do not believe he was born in Hawaii, I do believe he is not eligible under the guidelines of the Constitution, and I do believe he does not have the best interests of the United States of America at heart.
I also don’t believe this is going to amount to everything.
What I DO believe is that this is a fight worth fighting, to elevate the issue high enough so that in every presidential election from this point forward, scrutiny of a candidate’s citizenship begins on day one.
The framers of the Constitution had good reasons for putting that restriction on citizenship in the document, and those reasons are even MORE valid today. I believe this is a Constitutional issue.
The way I see it, there are only three reasons they do not produce the proof required:
1.) They cannot because they cannot obtain it.
2.) They cannot because he is not a citizen and the documentation will prove it.
3.) They are exploiting the issue as a tool.
We must be cautious that they do not send us chasing our tails while they pass into law health care, cap and trade and other anti-American legislation. I think we can and should multitask, but we need to keep that in mind.
1. Wouldn’t or couldn’t a group mount some sort of class action lawsuit?
a. Voters who were willfully and purposefully deceived.
b. Not only against 0bama, but the entire DNC as they held a sacred duty to confirm his eligiblity.
2. Wouldn’t he have committed a high crime? (fraud against the American people)
a. All those who contributed money to him to get him into office.
IMHO, the birth certificate issue is simply an intentional distraction concieved, planned and executed by Obama’s mentors....
Great plan to draw out your greatest distractors and keep them focused on a “non-issue”. Marginalizing them while the cresendo of their noise makes them appear fringe.
Like a burgular thowing a piece of raw steak to a attack dog while he cleans out the house.....
All the “O” has to do is refuse to release a document and the focus remains elseware.....
This is soooooo textbook political black ops it would be laughable except for the fact it is working.....
Wouldn’t McCain have standing?
“Problem is, no one would have standing to bring such a lawsuit. To establish standing, a plaintiff must show that he has suffered an injury personal to him, that the defendant caused the injury, and that the court could provide a remedy.”
........................
No STANDING? Is this brainless idiot serious?
How about WE THE PEOPLE?
Damages? How about total violation of our Constitutional Rights? If the Courts found the violations, then what is the remedy. Revocation of all the Fascists Actions of this Administration. Return of Constitution authority to the STATES?
Slate is a perfect example of what happens when the Constitution uneducated get hold of a Computer.
IF Obama is not US born EVERY US CITIZEN has standing. To suggest otherwise is simply their effort to dismiss removal.
While I do not profess to say what happens next I would believe that Biden gets the chair, fills out the rest of the term and then loses next round. After all, the electorate DID vote him in and as much as I am against him I DO support the choice we made. To say it should then go to McCain is dishonest.
