Over a dozen lawsuits have been filed most of which are hinged on forcing the President Elect to show his “Vault Birth Certificate”. So far, the lower courts ruled that none of the plaintiffs, as US citizens, have “standing” to enforce the Constitution, as they can not prove harm. State officials take the stance that checking eligibility for presidency is not their duty. One Elector made a public statement to the effect that the current administration had ample opportunity, so he is counting on them to check the eligibility of the President Elect. In the meantime, the White House would not touch the issue with a ten-foot pole. The mainstream media largely avoids the topic or dismissing it as fanciful conspiracy theory, instead of questioning why the President Elect spent hundreds of thousands on legal fees to keep it secret. Even most conservative talk show hosts, with few exceptions, avoid the issue or touch it on surface only. There is silence from the GOP as well.

In many states one must show a valid birth certificate for fishing or driver’s license, or for receiving social security benefits, but a simple statement of eligibility by the candidate is sufficient to be president, similarly to a “no-doc real estate loan”.

Suggestion: As US citizens have no “standing” because they can not prove harm, let’s ask one of the Guantanamo Bay prisoners to file a lawsuit. The courts have been enthusiastically granting these foreign dudes “standing” at US courts. A good attorney could claim that the President Elect appears to be less determined to dismantle GITMO than promised in his campaign, thereby causing irreparable harm to the terrorist. No doubt the court will order the “Vault Birth Certificate” promptly.
