True, nobody is really directly harmed by Obama's running for President.
However, if elected, 300,000,000 Americans would be directly harmed by his violating the Constitution and taking office. The harm will be in undermining the veracity of the Constitution, which outlines and protects our Civil Liberties and constitutes the Government which we have elected.

I haven't read Berg's actual complaint to see what he is challenging.

Obama’s qualification to run for President?
Obama’s qualification to be President?

You can't challenge the latter yet, because Obama is not yet President (or even President-elect).

Correct me if I am wrong - I don't know if there are any rules laid down, either in the Constitution or otherwise, as to who may seek the office of President (run for President), the Constitution only sets out requirements of eligibility to be President.

Do you have to be eligible to be President in order to run for President? Could somebody who is going to turn 35 years old the day before inauguration run for President, as he would be 34 during his campaign and election?
