If I presented the definition of natural born to a 4th grader and asked how would you find out if someone was natural brn, 99% of them would say they'd look at the birth certificate. How else should it be done.

Because the secretaries of state are either cowards, negligent, or lulled into complacency is not an indicator of the need for a new law.

Look at this scenario.

Let’s say a candidate for president knows that his birth certificate contains information that would either embarrass him or give people cause to doubt he is a citizen.

He runs for office anyway and receives the forms from each state and signs them. One Sec. of Elections from State X asks the candidate for his birth certificate.

Candidate’s crack team of lawyers looks at State X’s election law and realizes there is no requirement for a candidate to present his birth certificate or any other documents.

1. What legal recourse would the Sec. of Elections of State X have.

2. Would any court force the candidate to produce documentation not required in State X’s election law?
