You are missing my point. There is no requirement for a candidate to PROVE they are a natural-born citizen to be elected president.

Try using a little common sense. The purpose Article 2 Section 1 is to ensure a candidate meets those requirements. That can only be accomplished by proving a candidate meets those requirements. By your line of reasoning the Constitution is irrelevant since it is not incumbent upon anyone to prove they fulfill any of the requirements in any portion of the Constitution. Your weak attempt to try and parse the intent of Article 2 Section 1 couldn't be more disingenuous.

Dang! You just don’t get it! I WANT candidates to PROVE by a CERTIFIED BIRTH CERTIFICATE that they are qualified to be president as a natural born citizen! I am saying that right now they don’t have to! THICK SKULL!!!!
