Check out `George Orwell’s’ definition of “totalitarianism”. You might be surprised to see that he attributes such a state more to the subjects, rather than their tyrants. He credits tyranny to those who are not just willing to accept such a thing but to also criticize others who oppose such a state and thereby reinforce their own subjugation.
The worst that can happen here is not that Zero produces an authentic birth certificate (causing most to ask, `Uh, why’d you wait so long?’); the worst would be for good men and women to do nothing and to find that the Constitution has been degraded and a liar installed as the head of a co-equal branch of our government.
Lead, follow or get the hell out of the way, or at least change your pseudonym.

You are missing the point by such a wide margin that it is hard to know where to begin. Suppose you overturn the election based on a technicality.

There are thousands of very intelligent black, orange, green, brown, beige men/women who can speak very goodly :-) and went to Harvard or Yale who can take Barack Jefferson Obama's place. They were born in Newark NJ per se (which really is not part of America).

Can they be POTUS?

We have to win the battle for hearts and minds and convince people that conservatism is good for them. Not win on a technicality.

Good post and good reminder.
