"I have not read in the Constitution where or when the President is required to submit his qualifications or what they must entail (long form certificate of live birth, birth certificate, newspaper announcement, your say so, etc)."

"The Constitution is silent on how we are to verify it, and we the people have no clear process in place to verify that a candidate is indeed qualified."

Both of you need to read The Twentieth Amendment, Section 3 as well as the oath of office in Article Six posted here

Thanks for the correction! At the beginning of the term the President apparently must assure us he is qualified, but I still don't see where it says what form this must take (long form, or short form birth certificate, eye witness testimony, church registry, newspaper announcement, etc) but it must of course establish that the person is 35 years of age and a natural born citizen and 14 years a resident of the United States.

From 12th Amendment, Section 3 “If, at the time fixed for the beginning of the term of the President, the President elect shall have died, the Vice President elect shall become President. If a President shall not have been chosen before the time fixed for the beginning of his term, or if the President elect shall have failed to qualify, then the Vice President elect shall act as President until a President shall have qualified”

So my question is....

WAS THERE or IS THERE any ‘presentation of the qualification documents’ at the beginning of the term as the Constitution obviously stipulates?

I know there sure as H-E-double hockey sticks there SHOULD be!
