I hope this does go somewhere. However, I never understood why people weren't approaching this from the other side... "natural born citizen"? His father was not a US citizen which automatically disqualifies him from being POTUS. Same goes for Marco Rubio.

That's the side they're taking...in fact, in the opposition to the motion to dismiss, they clearly state that his "citizenship" or social security number is not in question, but the "natural born citizen" part is.

Quote:

The matter before this Court has nothing to do with the birth place of the Defendant, nor
does it assert that he is not a citizen of the United States. In fact, limited to this challenged
primary election, the Plaintiff will stipulate that the Defendant was born in Hawaii, that the
Defendant is a U.S. Citizen, and that the Defendant was Constitutionally-qualified to serve as a
U.S. Senator. The Plaintiff makes no assertion regarding the Defendant’s passports, or social
security number, or any other fact related to the Defendant, other than the one fact asserted at the
beginning of this opposition: that the Defendant’s father was not a U.S. citizen
