You have the right to ask for it. You don't have the right to force Obama to produce it. Not through the court.

Are you saying this is not a legal matter?

The Constitution (and federal statute) ultimately leaves it up to the political process.

If voters aren't satisfied that he's eligible, they can choose not to vote for him. If any of the electors have any issues, same thing. Congress, when certifying the electoral votes can submit objections to those votes. If the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court has any issues, they can choose to refuse to administer the oath of office.

But enough voters voted for Obama to appoint the requisite number of electors, and the requisite number of electors cast their votes for Obama, and Congress certified those votes without objection, and Chief Justice Roberts administered the oath of office without objection.

So here we are.

Only avenue left is removal from office by way of conviction of impeachment as per Article II, Section 4.

No, I'm saying you don't have legal standing to sue.
