I sure thought that the burden of proof belonged to the elected President to establish his Natural Born credentials, not that they were automatically assumed and had to be proven false.

So what did past presidents do to establish their natural-born credentials?

As far as I know, there are only three cases where Natural Born citizenship has been called into question.

In Chester Arthur’s case, I haven’t done enough reading to understand whether or not his birth place and date were lies or mistakes. I just don’t know.

In Mcain’s case, he was examined as a candidate with Congress ruling in his favor.

In Obama’s case, there is no objective verifyable evidence of his US Natural Born citizenship yet there is substantial doubt to it.

I am not aware of any other candidate who’s citizenship status was even in doubt or would have had difficulty providing documentation if requested. Many of them had their citizenship status verified upon elistment or commissioning in the the US military.

Doesn’t the Constitution require the elected president to prove his eligibility?

Obama can make this all go away by simply holding a press conference with an official actual birth certificate.

I have to provide credentials for my employment, he is no better and must as well.
