Vox Day points out that if no judge is willing to require proof, anyone can become president:
What I've found most interesting about this situation is that since the federal court system and the Supreme Court have resolutely refused to consider the facts concerning Obama's ability to be sworn in as a lawful president, there's nothing to prevent Arnold Schwarzenegger or any other foreigner from running for the office in the future. No amount of public knowledge will matter if there isn't a single party with court-approved standing to question any candidate's legitimacy.
Meanwhile, the Blagojevich and Rahm are on tape talking about the senate seat, causing a fair amount of trouble for Obama before he even takes office. It may look far worse than it actually is, but it being Chicago politics, I wouldn't be surprised if somebody finds a corpse encased in concrete somewhere.
I think, especially for christians, the issue of legitimate authority forms a certain boundary, or floor, where we are morally required to cooperate, so the absence of such authority requires a shift in thinking, which is why I bother to point it out. In this particular case, Obama may be a citizen, but with this demonstration of unwillingness on the part of the courts, we now have a far more troubling answer to a far more general question.
We have no standing.
