This is why, even if one believes Obama is eligible to be POTUS, that so-called birther laws are a step in the right direction.

Of course. It should be a no-brainer and yet not even one has passed. Most die in committee.

Most people assume that Barack Obama had been vetted before he was able to run for President. Guess what?

A congressional document posted on the Internet confirms no one – not Congress, not the states and not election officials – bothered to check Barack Obama’s eligibility to be president, and that status remains undocumented to this day.

I looked at the 2008 Missouri Elected Officials Qualifications.

http://www.sos.mo.gov/elections/2008primary/2008offices.asp

It lists the qualifications for U.S. Representative through Township or Ward Committeemen and Committeewomen. All other Missouri candidates were required to meet eligibility requirements but not presidential candidates. Why not?

Missouri must pass a law that would require that all candidates meet the eligibility requirements before being placed on the ballot. That means presenting an official certified birth certificate to the Secretary of State.
Since the Federal government failed to vet Obama, the states will have to do their job for them.
