It is the responsibility of those who would pursue a serious legal issue to present plaintiffs who DO have standing to sue. While the claims are not invalidated, there is no legal remedy when a lawsuit is summarily dismissed for lack of standing.There's been no lack of trying to gain standing, but you can't make a court take a case that they think is too hot for them to take. The requested remedy is part of the consideration for standing ... of which these courts don't want to get involved. All we see is that average citizens have no recourse for challenging an ineligible POTUS.

The wrong people have been plaintiffs. Either John McCain or Sarah Palin would have standing because they can show direct harm from Obama being elected president since they were the only two other candidates to receive Electoral College votes.
Average citizens have recourse in the next presidential election in 2012. That’s the ulitimate recourse. If enough average citizens cared, they could also pressure their elected representatives for a bill of impeachment as well.
