But what neither the Constitution or federal law does is outline how candidates must prove their eligibility and who to. A loophole that has never been a problem in the past, and with the Democratic Congress won't be closed any time soon.
So, pray tell, how can he swear to protect and defend the very document he apparently disregards? All he has to do is show the paperwork, and end the whole thing.
But is he disregarding it? If Obama is ineligible and he knows it then the answer is yes. But as far as Obama is concerned he's proved he's eligible. You may not agree. You may doubt the authenticity of his COLB. You may call the Hawiian officials liars until the cows come home. But unless you can present some evidence that Obama is lying then there isn't a court in the land that will listen to you.
McCain did.
Kudoes to McCain. The fact is that he didn't have to. And if you believe some of the claims out there, like Donofrio's, it didn't matter. McCain is still Constitutionally ineligible.
The Constitution may not have specified to whom he had to prove his eligibility, but the answer is simple--all of us--his employers.
Most who want no proof are either Obama supporters (worshipers) who fear he is not eligible, or those who fear the potential civil unrest should he be disqualified.
If the latter is indeed the deciding factor, we have de facto mob rule, without even gathering the mob.
