The argument given by the Obama supporters is that a SOS can’t so much as blow her nose unless a law specifically gives her the command to do so, what time to do so, and prescribes penalties and a procedure to enforce penalties if she doesn’t do so.
If that’s the standard that judges will apply, then equal protection would mean the government has its hands tied if we choose to sue them over every action they take that isn’t specifically described and mandated by law. Open the door to the Senate? Where does the law say who can open the door and when? Walk over the threshold? When were any of the Congress-critters instructed to walk across the threshold? Etc.
That’s the degree of tedium we’re dealing with here. Cloward-Piven.
That fact is that the citizens of America in 2011 have not been granted the rights established in the following precedent in the matter of the Constitutional eligibility one Barack Hussein Obama, aka Barry Soetoro, and other aliases.

Penn. I am unacquainted with the formality of the law, and therefore before I shall answer directly, I request two things of the court. 1. That no advantage may be taken against me, nor I deprived of any benefit, which I might otherwise have received. 2. That you will promise me a fair hearing, and liberty of making my defence.
Court. No advantage shall be taken against you; you shall have liberty; you shall be heard.
