And again, why the double standard in release of records? Why did Zero seal his records? What is Zero hiding?

What double standard? Bush, McLame, Ghore, Clintoon, and Biden voluntarily released certain records, such as their college transcripts and senior thesis; but, there is no LEGAL obligation that they produce anything other than what is required in the disclosure statement under federal and state law. The only double standard is the reaction of the press, but the law itself treats everyone equal. Even the Constitution is silent as to what a candidate for POTUS needs to do to prove that he or she is qualified to serve, which is why the issue is generally addressed at the state level when the candidate's name is placed upon the ballot.

If I, as a citizen of the United States, do not have standing or a right to know the answers to any of those questions, then this country is doomed and the constitution IS just a worthless piece of paper.

You have no "right" to know what a candidate has no legal obligation to provide, and there is nothing in the Constitution that gives you that right simply because you are a citizen.

"You have no "right" to know what a candidate has no legal obligation to provide, and there is nothing in the Constitution that gives you that right simply because you are a citizen."

You wanna bet? Watch and learn. The President of the United States has a LEGAL obligation to do as he pledged to do, preserve, protect and defend the constitution...

NOT to crap all over it, ignore it completely, or attempt to rewrite it to suit his political agenda.

"I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Now...if the President fails to do as he pledged to do, he has LEGALLY defaulted on his oath and as such, should be removed from office via impeachment at the very least. Zero has done nothing BUT crap all over the constitution in the past 8+ months. He AND the damned DemocRats. There is a solution and it WILL be implimented. Bank on it.

Even the Constitution is silent as to what a candidate for POTUS needs to do to prove that he or she is qualified to serve

That is the closest thing to an actual legitimate question raised by the whole "Birther" circus.

Going back to original intent, it would seem that the Founders expected the electors to satisfy themselves that the candidate they were voting for was in fact eligible, and that the Congress would confirm the eligibility of the electoral vote recipients when the votes were counted before a joint session of Congress.
