“Obama needs to be tried for treason.”
I would settle for a SCOTUS ruling that he is not constitutionally qualified followed by a successful impeachment and trial in Senate. If the SCOTUS rules he is eligible, then I will accept that....but they need to make a definitive ruling.
The persons that knowingly allowed him to take office contrary to the Constitution, IF the SCOTUS so rules, are the ones that should be tried for treason.
“I would settle for a SCOTUS ruling that he is not…but they need to make a definitive ruling.”
One of the roadblocks set up by those who wish to circumvent the Constitution is that this is a very difficult issue that will require years to resolve; “the best we can do is to prevent it from happening in the future”.
Meanwhile, of course, the “remaking” and “transformation” continues.
In the first instance, USSC involvement is unnecessary. A 2011 Congressional committee with subpoena power could examine the original birth documents now held by Hawaii and determine the threshold element of eligibility: whether O was born in the USA.
If it is determined O was born in the US only then might it be necessary for the USSC to again determine whether the two-parent element recognized by earlier court rulings and historical writings was indeed required by the founders to be a part of NBC.

Unfortunately, for our nation, that would include the members of the 2009 Congress, each of whom had a sworn duty to defend the Constitution.
Each member had an obligation at the 2009 Joint Session of Congress which was called for the sole purpose of certifying the work of the Electoral College to challenge any irregularity in that work (3 USC 15).
Each member knew prior to 2009 that a) O’s father was not a US citizen, b) there wasa substantial amount of public information that O was born elsewhere; and c) most of the members were aware of the controversy over the sloppy fabrication of the June 2008 COLB.
