Thank you for your quite informative post. It explained this "standing" thing in a way even I could understand, LOL!
BUT . . .I wasn't thinking of suing BO to make him produce a BC, I was thinking that we would be asking the government (not BO) to do its duty and follow the Constitution and make sure the law is followed as it pertains to a "natural born citizen" being President.

Again, thank you!

LOL GLAD to. And please don’t tell anyone I made any sense or they’ll drum me out of the Lawyer Corp. Hmm Then again . . . lol

Understand. But it’s the same thing. And there have been some suits filed doing just that, asking the Govt or Govt Official to “do their duty”. It’s called a Writ of Mandamus.

However, the very first question every court ever asks is “does it have jurisdiction” and #2 is standing.

So the standing issue would apply in the case that you suggest and you still run into the same problem.
