Trent Franks of Arizona may be the first member of Congress to bring a lawsuit compelling President Obama to produce his long form Birth Certificate. See the condescending, liberally biased article here. The main problem with these lawsuits, so far, is standing. Being a taxpayer and voter has been deemed by the courts to not be enough to create standing. Would a Congressman have standing? I think so. Standing is determined by whether a plaintiff is or imminently will be harmed. I would argue that we are all being harmed by Obama being in office, but a Member of Congress would likely been seen as having a significant connection to the issue in question, and thus more likely to have standing then an ordinary citizen.
I don't know what is on Obama's birth certificate. The only reason I am becoming in the least bit suspicious is because Obama seems to be hellbent on keeping it from the public, oh and the fact that his grandmother claimed she was present at his birth, in Kenya. He does seem to be rather secretive, despite his campaign promises to have a transparent white house. We have no long form birth certificate, no school records, nothing really. It's amazing how quickly he's destroying the country, it's like watching a train wreck, from the train.
