Irrespective of whether the Birthers may or may not have an argument, Obama is still president and commander-in-chief until he is removed by the Supreme Court or Congress (assuming the unlikely event the birthers are right).

Many people did not accept Bush's election in 2000 as legitimate because of the irregularities (cough..fraud...cough) in Florida, but once he was sworn in, he was President until he left office.

You can't have citizens unilateraly deciding whether a sitting president is legitimate or not, that would lead to chaos. That has to be determined by the Courts and/or Congress in accordance with the procedure set out in the Constitution.
