"I believe him myself," said Josephs

Why the heck do you, Josephs, play the political fool by saying you believe a man who is widely known to be a incessant liar? That's not common sense. It's pure suckupism.

-- if they do, they will be challenged in court (although I can't imagine what grounds they will use). --

They could be challenged by a birther, on the grounds that the criteria established by law are incorrect, as a matter of law. Specifically, if the statute dos not require an inquiry in the citizenship of the parents, then the statute is lacking.

The suit would not be one of sufficiency of evidence, it would be a pure question of law.

There are arguments on the other side, about the principle of separation of powers, where it is up to Congress, and Congress alone to render a decision as to presidential qualification.

I'm contacting my house rep, David Maloney, and asking him to support the bill.
