There has always been the hint that the Court might hear a case, if someone with "standing" were to bring it. Well, if the leadership of the House wants Obama out, they could probably file a suit, point to Vattel and say "Let's have Obama prove he is a natural born citizen, in accordance with this definition."

Can't be done. Birth certificate doesn't matter. Birthplace doesn't matter. His father wasn't a citizen. Game over -- if the Court sticks with this precedent.

I think at this point it’s better to allow him to be repudiated on his merits (lack thereof) in 2012 by the voters.

I think it’s more important for the GOP to cut the size of government than diddle around with Obama’s citizenship.

Remember, in 1994 Gingrich let the congress start in on the impeachment path and the end result was a Clinton rebound and reelection.

For once, lets just see the GOP do what they said they were going to do. The entire campaign was about cutting the size and cost of government. Not one major GOPer ran or even discussed the birther issue.

Let the states deal with the birther issue by passing clear laws that will prevent Soetero from running again unless he can pass Constitutional muster. State legislatures would do well to start defending their perogatives and the Constitution.

Any plan the relies on courts to resolve this will fail, and if it succeeded would be an unhappy precedent.
