U.S. Presidents & The Natural-born-citizen Clause

Quote:A Washington, D.C. law professor has come up with a new way to challenge the eligibility of Ted Cruz, who was born in Canada, to run for president.
Victor Williams is running for president himself.
He says that should help him get over the first hurdle that has so far caused other challengers to stumble — a lack of legal standing to sue.

The courts, gutless pukes that they are, have so far ruled that none of the other parties had "standing" to sue.

From reading the article, this jumped out at me:

Quote:Federal courts require that those going to court must show that they would suffer an injury that’s concrete and particular to them. Suing simply on the basis of being a citizen and a taxpayer isn’t enough.

How the fuck is allowing a man constitutionally ineligible to run for president not "an injury that's concrete and particular" to every US citizen?

Not that I'm saying that Cruz is ineligble. I have neither sufficient facts nor expertise to make a decision.
