How could this judge say that a US Citizen has no standing about his president?

Could the judge or somebody tell me WHO has standing? And when we find out, let that/those person(s) file suit.

Roe vs Wade is a perfect case where 1 citizen sued to overturn a law and won before the SCOTUS...

I wish I knew. How exactly would someone enforce the “natural born” requirement if no one has the right to force the candidates to provide proof of birth? Legally, who has standing to ensure requirements for political office are complied with?

According to the ruling, Berg’s case failed to prove he’d be harmed if his claims in the suit were correct. We’re talking about a very fine point of Constitutional law (who has standing & can prove harm, the public or the candidates who should rightfully have been the party’s nominee?) There are a few other cases chasing this same issue. SCOTUS may wait until one of those other cases have a ruling, so they can claim they had to take it, because the issue was “ripe”. SCOTUS generally prefers to take on the cases that have opposing rulings out of the Appellate Courts.
