What standing does the FEC have to intervene? I thought they are supposed to be neutral insofar as partisan politics is concerned and rule on whether a candidate follwed the rules in campagin finance.

BINGO!!!

Nothing on their site shows that they are mandated to enforce the Constitutional requirements for POTUS. Their sole task is about financing!

Berg named them as a defendant, so they had to respond. Basically, the FEC is claiming they have no authority or duty to investigate Obama's eligibility; and they do have a point. Berg was just coving all the bases because if he did not include the FEC, the Democrat party and Obama would have claimed that Berg did not include the FEC as a required party to the suit, which would have caused further delays.
