"It just seems backwards that America has to prove 0bama unfit for office via citizenship instead of 0bama proving he is fit for office via his citizenship."

The Twentieth Amendment, Section 3 places the burden of proof squarely upon the one seeking the office. It places the burden of verification upon Congress, who must then name an interim President if there is no proof provided.

Please tell us where in Article II, Amendments XII or XXII, or in the Electoral Count Act of 1887, or in 3 USC§1, or in any other place, that it says that Congress must require that proof be provided.
