Re: “What I think is important here is that Cleaver had to show his birth certificate to determine whether he could get on the ballot. (I don’t know for sure but I guess Biden had to show his also.) It’s good precedent and I don’t know if the courts will notice this.”
On what probable cause was Cleaver required to show it in 1968? Profiling? The norm seems to be *not* having to show it.
In Cleaver’s case it was because he was younger than 35, and people knew it.
In 1968, MOST of the country still followed the rules and conventions.
