So this ends any and everything associated with the question? Berg didn't have standing before the election, therefore no one ever need follow through?
More on that Birth Certificate thing...

Berg still has an appeal, of the original court's ruling, pending before the Federal Court of Appeals. They will take up the issue of whether or not the lower court's finding that he lacked standing was appropriate.
If the Court of Appeals were to overrule that decision, they would probably remand the case back to the lower court to hear the case in general. If the Court of Appeals were to uphold that decision, then Berg could, in theory, re-petition the Supreme Court to review the case. Their evaluation of whether or not to grant his petition would be based on slightly different criteria than the last time, because the case would have followed the ordinary path to get there.
Also, Berg or someone else may well file a completely new suit attempting to force Obama to demonstrate that he is qualified to be President, now that he has actually become President. In fact, I would guess that someone, somewhere already had an action prepared and ready to file as soon as Obama was inaugurated.
So, the legal activity regarding this issue is almost certainly not over yet; however, I still don't expect it will result in anything meaningful.

I would expect the first law he signs to be challenged on these grounds.

I am pretty sure President Bush showed his birth certificate when he joined the National Guard.
Whta's happening with the Allan Keyes suit? I thought that was the best one.

The right to petition...
The bottom line of all those shots on goal? Will the score keeper decide it doesn't matter if the ball went in: he controls the scoreboard and he is NOT going to change the number?
Confound the plans of the wicked O Lord and make their name a stain for generations to come. Let their plans fall to dust and their vain conceit leave them scorned.
Enough shots on goal, and sooner or later one will break through

Keyes...
Is one of the most articulate, cool-under-pressure men I have ever met.
He spoke at Colony South about a decade ago--flawless presentation, factual, engaging, and passionate.
It is truly a shame he could not have made it into the White House.
Thanks for the posting.

To quote many a Republican in January 2001,
GROW UP AND GET OVER IT- HE'S PRESIDENT!
And a large chunk of the country, even many McCain voters and McCain himself, think he's a decent guy and are positive about how he will run things.
No wonder Costco was always out of tin-foil the past few months. Sheesh....

I intend to demonstrate as much respect as the office deserves.
If Obama is all you say, I'm sure he would demonstrate that same respect for the office.

So, if he's not a natural born citizen, you're ok with him being the President even though it is against the Constitution?

Nope. It didn't matter... it's not going to matter. Just like so many things with this president, we'll never know the whole truth. The truth doesn't matter.

I believe Lightfoot v Bowen is in conference today. We'll see that summarily dismissed without comment -er, we'll see the results of that Monday.

So did J. Robert Kerry, when he joined the Army. Yet his BC was still required when he filed for the MD primary back in '92.

My daughter was born in Hawaii.
Her "Certificate of Live Birth" states the name of the hospital, the time, date and the name of the attending doctor.
Would one of you "tin hat" cryers please post a link to a BC that shows that information for the guy in the white house.

Would THIS face lie?
The following is a funny and true story shared by KC Williams who teaches AP Government at Santa Fe High School ..
In one of KC's classes, they were discussing the qualifications to be president of the United States . It was pretty simple:
"The candidate must be a natural born citizen of at least 35 years of age."
However, one girl in the class immediately started in on how unfair was the requirement to be a natural born citizen. In short, her opinion was this requirement prevented many capable individuals from becoming president.
KC and the class were just taking it in and letting her rant, but everyone's jaw hit the floor when she wrapped up her argument by stating & asking:
"What makes a natural born citizen any more qualified to lead this country than one born by C-section?"
And someday she'll vote!
