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

In a nonbinding resolution. The few lawsuits that were filed to challenge McCain's eligibility, one in New Hampshire and I believe one in California, were both dismissed due to lack of standing on the part of the plaintiffs. The same fate that Obama birther suits have been suffering.

But the long and short if that McCain was no more obligated to present a birth certificate as Obama was to present a COLB. But having done so, both did more than the law requires to prove eligibilitiy. Which is also more than any other President or presidential candidate has done.

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

Where?

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

These cases have been going away on their own as judges dismiss them.

If a President shall not have been chosen before the time fixed for the beginning of his term, or if the President elect shall have failed to qualify,

You have a point in that this amendment is not as clear as some of us think/wish it to be and still leaves plenty for interpretation.

HOWEVER....the Constitution clearly states that there are qualifications and that the president elect must qualify. Has Obama qualified? Who is any more responsible for him qualifying than he himself?

I say no he hasn't and has actively worked to subvert the process, thus failing to support and defend the Constitution in two ways.
