Does anyone know if a candidate ever has to furnish physical proof of the following Constitutional eligibility requirements:

• being a natural born citizen of the United States
• being at least thirty-five years old;
• have been a permanent resident in the United States for at least fourteen years

Here is a copy of the declaration of candidacy for Bob Barr.

At least as it pertains to getting on a State/territory ballot, my suspicion is that physical proof is not required otherwise the birth certificates etc. would have to be sent to each State /territory.

Never been a problem in the past.
We have never had such a Sphinx run before!
Clinton was allowed to get away with gaping holes in his “history”, he opened that door for Obama.
