Birth of a Controversy: Why Didn't Obama Disclose Info Sooner?

The FEC does NOT require proof of citizenshi­p to run for President.  They are not required to ask for this informatio­n, nor are they authorized by the Constituti­on or by any other later governing law to do so.  The political parties running candidates are the presumed vetters.

It's very strange that in the US there has been no process by which to enforce this Constituti­onal requiremen­t, which is why there have been lawsuits.  And yet all lawsuits regarding this issue have been fought vigorously by Obama, both as a candidate and now that he's in office, on the grounds that plaintiffs have no standing.  

So far those cases that have reached the Supreme Court have been dismissed on that basis -- that even if you are a citizen of the US, you have no standing to ask for proof of citizenshi­p of a candidate for the presidency.
