The candidates should provide **all** the documentation and information that would do **two** things:
1) Prove they are eligible
2) or Prove they are ineligible.
**Both** are needed and it is the responsibility for the candidate and the Secretaries of State to come up with **both** types of information.
Obama is a perfect example of why this is needed. His history is especially complex. If only the long form birth certificate were required that is the **only** documentation someone like him would provide and he would **insist** that none other would be needed, and we would be in court trying to get the rest.
In Obama’s case, clearly, **all** these documents are needed: school applications, scholarship applications, social security number(s),selective service registration information, passport travel, repatriation records, and any documents ( even in kindergarten) that would prove or disprove his eligibility.
Proving that they are eligible would suffice. If they can't do that, the legislation I'd support would force them off the election ballot.
No sense compelling them to prove that they are ineligible. If they can't prove they are eligible by a specified date they'd be off the ballot anyway and could not be elected. Plus, forcing one to prove that he is ineligible might be forcing him to admit that he was committing a fraud to that point. I detest fraudsters as much as anyone, but we have something called constitutional protection against self-incrimination in the US; we can't compel anyone to admit to a criminal act, but instead we have to get the evidence for a possible fraud by some means other than by compelling it from a suspect.
