Okay, so obama was suppose to be vetted properly before he became eligible to run for POTUS. Obama cannot prove his eligibility now or he refuses to do so.

This happened before he was president and was a senator. According to you if it happened before becoming President Taxpayers don’t pay for their legal defense, right? He conned everyone before he was elected.

Like another poster, you're assuming that because you aren't satisfied with the vetting, it didn't occur. That's not true. Whether it was adequate vetting or not, it met the legal requirements that exist. There was no omission on Obama’s part, and therefore no pre-Presidential liability.

If you don't like the vetting requirements, work to change them in your state. But what's done is done.

By who?

Obama cannot prove his eligibility now or he refuses to do so.

Or doesn't have to. Any more than Bush or Reagan or Clinton or any other president has had to.

This happened before he was president and was a senator.

No, most of these suits have been filed after he became president and challenge his eligibility for the office and not his eligibility to run. The U.S. Attorney's office handles the defense. Those suits that were filed before the inauguration were defended by private counsel. But in the overwhelming majority of the cases, Obama has not had to produce a defense at all. In the 62 or so Birther cases that have been filed, only 10 required a lawyer appear in Obama's defense. Three of those were before inauguration day so a private attorney was involved and seven were handled by the U.S. Attorney's office.
