From the document.....

"To begin with, the Constitution itself does not even envision the names of the ultimate candidates for President even being on the ballot, but instead only the names of the candidates for elector, who are left free to choose for whom they should vote. Thus, one would not even expect to find a provision in the Constitution requiring that someone being voted on for President by the electors would first have to affirmatively prove his eligibility to anybody."

IOW....there is no provision in the Constitution that requires that any President Elect prove his eligibility.

Maybe bambi's actions do 'speak for themselves' but he doesn't have to show anything to anybody.

And that is why nothing will come of this.

Yes, but the Constitution itself declares that the President must be a natural born citizen. So whatever the Constitution may or may not say about electors and names on ballots is subordinate to the fact that the President must be a natural born citizen. At some point, therefore, his (or her) citizenship must be verified.
