Every appeal, over a dozen, to SCOTUS has been unanimously denied. Obama has never even bothered to file a single response to a petition filed by a birther. SCOTUS rules are that if one justice thinks a petition has any merit and the respondent has not filed a response to the petition, the court will formally request a response before determining whether to grant writ. That has never occured. I wonder why?
Oh, yeah, that convinces ME that he's legitimate. We have video of Roberts\Obama flubbing the words, but do you have video of them saying it correctly? Not withstanding that we've gone through all the motions, (Obama should have been denied access to the ballot if we had had competent state officials, but they are as ignorant as most people on this subject. That, and Nancy Pelosi LIED about his citizenship status. ) pomp and circumstance is not what makes a President legitimate.

No you don't. You know why. Not a single case has been heard on it's merits. Prior to even examining the facts of the case, all the judges have declared the plaintiff has no standing. A filthy legal technicality trick that ought to have the nation out hanging lawyers. The truth, it seems to me, is that the courts are terrified of a civil war sized RIOT if they let this go to trial.
The Arizona legislature passed a bill to require proof. Jan Brewer vetoed it with the ridiculous argument that she doesn't feel a single person (the Arizona Secretary of State) should be permitted to decide who gets on the ballot. She is obviously far happier with letting a single person, in the guise of the Hawaiian Department of Health director Fukino, decide, rather than her own secretary of state.
In this case, it is obvious the fix is in. Jan Brewer is afraid of Federal retaliation to her state in the guise of a loss of federal grants and highway funds if she dare offend the great Zero. Oklahoma nearly passed one as well, and there again, the Governor stifled it (she daren't veto it. The crowd in Oklahoma would make her pay for it.) quietly through a whispering campaign in the Senate.
You can prattle on about your stupid courts, but the power in this nation resides in the will of the people, and when the people are properly informed, your courts will obey what the people want.
