Foreign terrorists and illegal aliens have standing

Have standing to do what? Challenge who is the President?

Actually, yes.

Hit post a little to quickly. I actually misread "Challenge *who is* the President" as "Challenge the President". Still it's close, they got to challenge the power of Congress and the President to hold them without charges. They got access to the courts, so yes, they had standing in the courts but their case did not address the eligibility of President Bush.

That had already been settled in Gore V. Bush. ;-)
