What law?

I would just like to see the 57 states pass one very simple law before the upcoming 2012 presidential campaign:

"When a person applies to put his name on a political party's primary ballot for President of the United states, he must attach a copy of his long form birth certificate if he was born in a hospital in the United States.

"If he was not born in a hospital in the United States, he must attach a document from the state of his birth---one with the state's seal---that verifies that he was born in that state on a certain date."

Tell me, is that too much to ask?

Yes, a very simple and standard law that could easily be applied in all 57 states, in my opinion.

NOTE: But wait. Someone will inevitably ask me this question: What happens if a potential candidate says that there is no long form birth certificate in his case, because he was not born in a hospital?

My response is this: Again, if the presidential candidate claims that he was NOT born in a hospital----maybe he was born in a taxicab or a private car or a private home or in the woods somewhere---then he can ask his state of birth to provide him with an OFFICIAL letter---with the state's seal---verifying that the candidate was born in that state on a certain state.

Now, is it too much to ask state officials to pass a simple law like the one above? I don't think so.
