Who is responsible to determine that he is qualified to be President???

I think it was a Democratic party official

No one. He signs a one page statement that he is qualified to be turned into the Sec of State in each state. So basically, we have to take his word that he is eligible.

Nobody that I could determine. There is no requirement to prove you are eligible to be president.

Who is responsible to determine that he is qualified to be President???

So far, there appears to be "no controlling legal authority." The conditions were considered so clear, and the office so sacred, that it was assumed no one would try to pull a fast one, because there would be bipartisan outrage. This is obviously no longer the case.

Ultimately, the electoral college.

Who is responsible to determine that he is qualified to be President???

According to Senator Mel Martinez, only the voters need vet him. Don't let any old pesky Constitution get in the way of politics as usual.

Presidential candidates are vetted by voters at least twice - first in the primary elections and again in the general election. President-Elect Obama won the Democratic Party’s nomination after one of the most fiercely contested presidential primaries in American history. And, he has now been duly elected by the majority of voters in the United States. Throughout both the primary and general election, concerns about Mr. Obama’s birthplace were raised. The voters have made clear their view that Mr. Obama meets the qualifications to hold the office of President. After he is sworn into office, Mr. Obama will be our nation’s President and I intend to bestow upon him the honor and respect due any man who holds that Office.
