A Republican senator from Louisiana, David Vitter, is suggesting the dispute over Barack Obama's eligibility to be president be resolved in court.
"I support conservative legal organizations and others who would bring that to court," the Associated Press reported a video of the event revealed him saying.
Vitter becomes just the latest high-profile leader, and the first U.S. senator, to take such a strong stand on the issue.
It's also significant that the AP, which has stated publicly that the president's "birth certificate" has been made public even though the image of the document posted online actually is a "certification of live birth," which under Hawaiian procedures was available to those not born in the state, reported on Vitter's comments.

Just walk over to the House, Senator, and have a few of them subpoena the birth certificate. As I really can't imagine any court wanting to get in the middle of a real constitutional minefield. Congress is vested with the power to remove a president, not the courts.

So many people have tried. Citizens can't do it -- they don't have standing. Lawyers can't do it -- they don't have standing. The military can't do it -- they don't have standing. I suspect that a senator from LA won't have standing either.
The king is untouchable.
To: kingu
You’re not thinking cynically enough:
The senator is saying it’s the court’s job.
The Courts are saying no person (mere citizen) has standing... and if pressed, I believe they would punt it to Congress.
Thusly both can say “I’m concerned about this and I feel your outrage but I can’t do anything.”

Let's wait until January 2011 when the new GOP Controlled Congress is seated and then let the House of Representatives tackle this.

It is just insane, isn’t it? The way they are able to hide the Long-Form? Insane.

Very good point...

I hope so.
If you are right, it could be a SERIOUS and REAL issue for 2012.
To: RobinMasters
Good luck. So far the court has ruled that no one on the face of the earth has “standing” to question The One.

Arizona could simply add a Quo Warranto portion to their defense and demand to see by what authority the JD under the orders of Obastard has to sue them.

I always thought he was hiding something on the long form. Of late, I have started to doubt one exists.

Needs to be a USSC ruling on “natural born.”

I predict within 45 days Obama will step down from office.

If they did help out, that would be EXCELLENT.

Needs to be a USSC ruling on natural born.The country sorely needs this to be settled. I don't care which party a candidate is from, they have to meet the Constitutional eligibility requirements, and these requirements need to be enforced, as well as taught (as they once were) in the schools.
To: thecodont
If our own GOP had not been so feckless in 2008, then Obastard’s eligibility would have come up then and been dealt with and they could have made the loud and open claim and forced the courts to define “natural born citizen”. We already know that there IS a difference between a citizen and a natural born citizen because the Constitution says that only persons who were citizens at the time of the ratification of the Constitution and natural born citizens are eligible to be POTUS. Regardless of where Obastard was born, he is NOT a natural born citizen because one parent was not and has never been a US citizen.

agreed. The congress will not and should not do it. The resolution they passed on McCain was outside the scope of their authority.

This is all a big red herring. We'll never know if Bukakke Hussein Osama was born in Hawaii. If he wasn't, the documents have already been forged and put into place. The political capital that the GOP has earned from Bukakke's performance to date is better used elsewhere.
