If the democrats oppose it a lot of people will wonder why.

After Zer0 of course - but then the Dem’s will kill the term limits of presidents from two years to as many times they want to run ... just what the media was accusing Bush of wanting to try ....

No. To the contrary.

It’s starting to creep into the mainstream after ubiquitous, Herculean efforts by the left to squash it. It is a beautiful thing to see.

This would affect 2012, wouldn’t it?

Fraud. Proof. Conviction.

New president.

I agree, but be assured, the Dems and Barry Libs will make sure that Barry’s BC falls under the ‘grandfather clause’.

They can’t “grandfather in” proven fraud upon the American people.

I would think so, but it really should be made retroactive to cover Barry.

As you know, this can be accomplished by the individual states themselves, requiring documentation or else a candidate cannot be placed on the state ballot. Several states have acted on this thus far, but I don’t know the results of them all. Oklahoma didn’t pass this time, but I’m hoping for the next legislative session.

I think that going the route of the state legislatures would be easier than getting it through the Congress...

"Anyone in Washington knows what's already required to be president," Jones said. Intelligence officials conduct extensive background checks before presidents take office, he added.

Is this true, or did he make it up?

That would bring the COLB into it, and Barack’s media would say he already provided proof (which he didn’t do). Perception matters, not reality.

Agreed, hence my retroactive mention.
