Support in the U.S. House for a proposal that would require presidential candidates to provide documentation of how they meet the U.S. Constitution's requirement that the person who occupies the Oval Office be a "natural born citizen" suddenly has quadrupled.
There now are four cosponsors to H.R. 1503 from freshman Rep. Bill Posey, R-Fla., an amendment to the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971.

just make sure it is ‘veto-proof’
Yes let’s-—can we make this retroactive?????????????
Support quadrupled!!!!!! ..... there are now four sponsors....
(ugh!)
More smoke and mirrors...the congress should have contested his bc when they were counting electoral votes!
t h a t is thier job!
You saw that too huh? LOL
With 250+ Democrat congressmen and 60 Democrat Senators? There's no chance of it ever passing much less getting a veto overridden.

Every state should have the same law..every GOP’er in State and federal govt should sign on the sponsor. Just think what the Rats would do if this were an issue for them.
Tell ex-IG Walpin to bring it up in his “improper dismissal” law suit. Opossum would have to be properly qualified to assert Presidential authority to fire him.
ya know....if he takes it on the chin over health care...and his foundations start to wobble...we just may see this come to the fore
So, although a good start it doesn’t address King Hussein?
This is jumping the gun. The key is to get this done in a state. Any state will do.
Then, let Zero explain why he isn’t even on the ballot in that state in 2012.
I find it very strange that nobody has pushed for that. Surely, there is a legislature somewhere in the country that will pass such a requirement.
“Silence can only be equated with fraud where there is a legal or moral duty to speak or where an inquiry left unanswered would be intentionally misleading” United States v Prudder, 424 F. 2nd 1021(5th Cir.1970), cert.denied, 400 U.S.831 (1970)
If it doesn’t, we can ask “Why is he exempt, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?”
I thought Oklahoma was pushing for that. It needs to be retroactive too.
WND is doing what it always does...making something out of nothing to get hits on their site. They have almost as many misleading headlines and articles as NYeT.
Arghhh!
It doesn’t need to be retroactive. Doing it for 2012 is enough. Retroactive probably isn’t going to happen and the measures aren’t there to enforce it if it did.
What good is a qualification requirement if documentation is not required?
