I agree this is exactly the way to go. However it should be broader than just proof that the candidate is a "Natural Born Citizen". The Statute should require each candidate to provide a waiver for any academic or medical records so that we the people have the maximum amount of information about anyone who might be elected to the most poweful office in the world.

It only needs three or four states to pass this type of legislation to make it effective nationally. No National candidate is going to forsake running in a state that he ( or She) might win.

"The Statute should require each candidate to provide a waiver for any academic or medical records so that we the people have the maximum amount of information about anyone who might be elected to the most powerful office in the world."

Absolutely true as well as provide instant "standing" to any resident of the state to challenge legality of potential usurper.
