This idea is complete nonsense. No conservative or libertarian candidate will get on a ballot in any presently blue state in time for an election because their “evidence” of eligibility will be challenged by the left wing equivalents of the present “birther” crowd in the state courts and tied up there for months. The same will be true for liberal candidates in red states.

I’m becoming increasingly convinced that this whole birther thing is just anarchism/nihilism masquerading as patriotism in order to destroy this country from within.

It doesn’t apply to “candidates” for President. It applies to “usurpers” who happen to sneak through to the Oval office when Congress FAILS to ENFORCE section three of the Twentieth amendment. If the President is a legal one, he should have no problem providing PROOF to EVERY state that ask for it.

If part of the statute requires a general waiver of privacy then the fear of the press should deter any candidate who does not have a clear claim to be a " Natural Born Citizen".

Either you believe that the Articles of the Constitution should be enforced or you can forget the whole thing. As far as I'm concerned it means what it says and its articles should be enforced.

And they don't realize the precident that will be set if they're successful. Do you think this birther stuff will end with Obama? Of course not. Sarah Palin could be the next president and there will be an Orly Taitz and a Lucas Smith running from courthouse to courthouse with Crayola-scribbled "Canadian" birth certificates demanding to be taken seriously.

Fortunately, the birther movement seems to be a long way from reaching success.

I would expect a socialist/communist/progressive to say that.
