Here’s the problem with what you’re saying:

“The state law is exactly what I am posting about...”

Where is the state law affirming the 1st amendment, the 2nd, etc.? Above all law is the Constitution, and it is considered law, not just Federally, but also on a local, state level. This point has been decided by USSC.

It is not necessary for the several states to individually address each point of the Constitution by separate statute.

You said — It is not necessary for the several states to individually address each point of the Constitution by separate statute.

The issue has been addressed by the states already, per the Constitution and it has been addressed by the State of Hawaii, too — per the Constitution. The problem is not that — it’s that people want to see the “birth certificate” — and *that* has not been addressed by either the Constitution or the states...

And here’s the Constitution for you...., the *basics* of the Constitution on this issue...

And yes, there is a Constitution and here is what it says, in regards to qualifications. The Constitution says that a candidate must be the following in order to qualify for the office. The candidate must ...

*be* 35 years or older
*be* a resident 14 years or more
*be* a natural born citizen

And Obama has sworn under oath that he *is* (as the Constitution says he must *be*)...

It does not say what is necessary to show it, prove it or what any means for “vetting” is. That’s up to the states themselves to vet and make sure that the candidates meet the qualifications.

And what they have done is sworn an oath that they are qualified..., Obama has, the other candidates have and they have in the past...

And in addition the State of Hawaii says that he *is* exactly what the Constitution says he must *be*...

http://hawaii.gov/health/about/pr/2009/09-063.pdf

“I, Dr. Chiyome Fukino, Director of the Hawai‘i State Department of Health, have seen the original vital records maintained on file by the Hawai‘i State Department of Health verifying Barack Hussein Obama was born in Hawai‘i and is a natural-born American citizen. I have nothing further to add to this statement or my original statement issued in October 2008 over eight months ago.”

This shows that there is no Constitutional issue or question. So, when there is no Constitutional issue at problem here with the Qualifications for office, why would the Supreme Court get involved? Which is why they didn’t get involved.

And if you want to get Obama to show his birth certificate, you’re going to have to get a state law to that effect, which is what I’ve been proposing since the election.

But aside from the birth certificate issue, there is plenty of political issues to deal with, in terms of conservatives opposing Marxist/liberal/leftist policies, legislation and agendas.

However, I still push for the state law to enact legislation to require a candidate to show his birth certificate or else he cannot be on the ballot in that state...

The Constitution ALREADY provides for the need to verify a person’s eligibility for President. See post 156
