You are missing my point. Under the election laws of most states, these types of challenges must be made at the time the candidates name is placed on the ballot. For example, IIRC in my state, legal action to contest a candidate's qualifications must be made within ten days after the name is placed on the ballot, and the challenge must come from a person who has a real and personal stake in the outcome of the dispute that is distinct from the interests of the general public. The time to contest the candidate's qualifications is very short because elections are expensive, and therefore, these types of disputes need to be resolved long before the ballots are printed and votes are cast.
Donofrio and others tried to get SCOTUS to review the issue before the inauguration.
The time to go to court is at the time when the candidates name is placed upon the ballot in the particular state, not after the election is held and the people have spoken.
But there is Quo Warrento writs to file for someone who is in office and is ineligible.
This particular writ has been oversimplified by people who have no clue as to their modern existence and purpose. In many states, including mine, the writ has been abolished, and the proper procedure is not to challenge the candidate directly, but to challenge the election commmissioner's decision to allow the unqualified candidate's name to appear on the ballot.
Placed on the ballot for the general election or for the primary?
Quo Warrento is still around and Donofrio plans on filing in the DC court.
I think people tried to get the issue addressed early but BHO stonewalled and courts did not force Obama to address the issue or show his long form birth certificate.
I can’t believe that there is a 10 day period and after that we must live with the usurper.
