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...
I agree, (miracle ;-) it’s easier to get states to pass this law. However, the effort to go the federal law route gives it some more visibility. And I doubt Obama would sign it into law...unless he throws in the towel for 2012. Second thought, he may not sign it out of spite and still not run in 2012.
I agree.
