“I’ve yet to find a single state that lays down in law just how a Secretary of State is supposed to verify the eligibility of a person running for election.”
By getting a signed statement. See my post above for Rhode Island’s way to ‘verify’ a candidate is eligible.
That is my exact point and I think you missed it.
All states simply accept the signature of the person running for office. No state that I can find puts into their election law a requirement for the Sec. of Elections to ask for any supporting documents.
No, Obama did not commit perjury. He would have to be found ineligible in a court of law and found guilt of fraud etc.
This is how ridiculous it is.
Obama can simply sign a form stating he is eligible.
His signature alone is accepted by every state without seeing corroborating documents.
“We” have to prove he is not eligible, that he knew he was not eligible and that he knowingly committed an act of fraud by signing the forms.
Since NBC has never been put down into law by the USSC he couldn’t have known, legally (that would be his defense) that he was ineligible, therefore no fraud committed.
This is rotten to the core; if the states do not change their laws this will keep happening over and over again.
The more I study this entire issue the sicker I get. How damned easy it was to pull this off.
