Have all previous presidents presented long form birth certificates before being placed on the ballot in each state?

I don't think so.

Back in '52 the GOP had a candidate who was undocumented until the October before the election, despite having just won the biggest war in the history of the world.

Of course, even if he'd remained undocumented until the following January, he'd still have been eligible.

But it's nevertheless quaint and charming that they felt the need to document him anyway. Actually, the effort was more of a publicity stunt by Lonnie Roberts, who wanted to highlight that Eisenhower had been born in Denison. (But the whack-jobs of the day claimed it was a conspiracy to hide the fact General Eisenhower was Jewish, LOL).

Wow, that's great you found the newspaper clipping on Ike: "Ike gets Birth Certificate; Filed in Courthouse Here."

Now there was a real American. .
