Who has the burden of proof? Does Obama have the burden of proving he is a "natural born" citizen or do his challengers have the burden of proving otherwise. Since his challengers are bringing the suit, it seems to me they have the burden of proof. The certificate of live birth would at least create a presumption that Obama was born in the US. Obama's challengers have no credible evidence to overcome that presumption. The next issue is whether an ordinary citizen has "standing" to bring such a suit. Probably not because they can show no special injury.
