Technically, maybe only a State has standing in this matter. Some other state would have to challenge Hawaii’s declaration. Theoretically, the President is chosen by the electors chosen by the States. An elector, maybe, but how could he/she show injury?

Something tells me there are still enough people in congress and on the USSC who’s name may appear in the 500+ FBI files obtained by the BJ in chief and the only way for them to do a CYA is to not act at all.
If we as citizens do not have standing AND we have proof positive that the BC is forged (WE DO) then just what recourse do we have other than taking it like sheep and hoping enough people have escaped the public education brainwashing to through this toilet bug out of the White House?
After reading and learning what the founders when through to give us this government OF THE PEOPLE I refuse to believe and accept that we are powerless. This ruling elite crap must come to an end. Thomas Jefferson told us so.
If any one of the 50 states ruled Obama ineligible due to either his father or concern about his birth certificate, then a federal case would be sparked that the US Supreme Court would accept.
However, as long as all 50 states agree Obama is eligible, there is no conflict to resolve.
In like manner, it would only have taken 1 of 100 senators, and 1 of 435 representatives to force Congress to rule on the meaning of NBC in 2009...but when 100/100 agree, and 435/435 agree, there is nothing to resolve. There simply is no conflict.
When every state and every member of Congress believe the Constitution should be interpreted as XYZ, the Court is not going to step in and insist the meaning is ZYX.
Ding,ding,ding! We have a winner.
I oppose judicial interference with the Presidential election process. Nothing is more political than elections, and as per Article II Section I and the Twelfth Amendment, the duty to give us a President resides with State legislatures and Congress.
Article II, Section 1: Each state shall appoint, in such a Manner as the legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors . . .
Federal courts can no more legitimately interfere with the vote of State electors than it can interfere with the President’s power to nominate ambassadors. Both acts are non-justiciable. To do so would be a gross, impeachable violation of the Constitution. Unfortunately, all liberals and too many Freepers have fallen into a rat trap concocted these past 80 years that any dispute must be settled by a branch of government unaccountable to the people. It simply isn’t true and Scotus cannot legitimately “fill in” when some people become disgusted with the other branches.
But unlike the President, the Constitution is silent as to ambassador qualifications. So who or what body is responsible for keeping a Kenyan, or any clearly foreign born and positively unqualified individual out of the White House?
The responsibility can only be with the parties charged with giving us a President, State Legislatures which are responsible for the appointment of electors, the electors themselves and perhaps the Senate which counts the votes. That is why it was not unimportant for the Senate in 2008 to find that McCain met the Constitutional requirements. Our Senate must ultimately count the electoral votes and that Senate decided McCain was qualified. Very simple, and no court can interfere with State electoral votes, nor the Senate in its duty to count the votes as directed by the Constitution.
The place to stop Constitutionally unqualified candidates is our State legislatures. These are the people our Constitution charged with exercising electoral judgment.
