You don’t have to go that far... All we have to do is have a couple of States pass a law that forces anyone applying to be on the ballot for elective office to prove that they are qualified to hold the office. If they do not prove that, then the state does not put them on the ballot. If California, or New York, or Texas or a couple of other states did that, game over. No one could be elected without these few states having them on the ballot.

I say pass this now and have it apply now. If the present person in the Oval office is legal, he shouldn’t have any problems with such legislation, nor should his supporters.

The Statute would have to carefully define the form of proof otherwise we would have endless litigation about whether a “Certificate of Live Birth” was actually proof. In effect it would be necessary for the candidate to waive all rights to privacy regarding the documentation only thus could you ensure that there were no games being played.

Many states have a petition process. We should force the issue through petition processes.

It all comes down to what is proof.
