Anyone know how someone’s eligibility is contested? I presume it’s in court and I presume whoever files must have standing. Would it be done via civil lawsuit or ?

When Herbert Hoover first ran for president, there was some question as to his eligibility. Because while he was for 14 years a resident of the US, it wasn’t in the 14 years right before the election (Hoover was out of the country doing relief work).
The courts did not take up the issue. They said, essentially, let the voters decide. And Hoover was elected.
I suppose the same thing will happen with this natural-born controversy.
If We the People don’t have standing, nobody would.
The charade everyone put on with obama was because everyone was afraid of being called racist or homophobe or maybe they feared death or personal ruin.
We are not about to allow that to happen again.
“Anyone know how someone’s eligibility is contested? I presume it’s in court and I presume whoever files must have standing. Would it be done via civil lawsuit or ?”
Yeah.
Anyone can contest it.
You can contest it.
No one had standing to sue per stare decisis, based on a myriad of dismissed suits during the Kenyan usurpation. I don’t think anyone will be granted standing.
Last Obama election I asked the MO Sec State how candidates bona fide are established, she emailed me me the hope and dnc letters of certification. So , the state’s accept a letter signed by the party boss as evidence that their candidate are valid, yeah, right.
IMO, it will happen a the state level when a candidate is deemed by election officials to be patently ineligible (e.g. Harris). It will be one of the states with a Republican AG such as Florida and it will work its way to the USSC.
It will be interesting to see whether the very capable author of the linked article raises a challenge in Florida.
The NBC issue is similar to "birthright citizenship" as applied to the newborn of illegal aliens, it has never been litigated, at least before our highest court.
