There’s already a law about it. He’ll just ignore this one, too.
“There’s already a law about it. He’ll just ignore this one, too.”
What law? The Constitution has no enforcement mechanism for Presidential eligibility. The Congress has the job by default because it counts the Electoral Votes.
This law, if well written, bypasses that and requires documentation to be submitted to the state.
There’s already a law about it. He’ll just ignore this one, too.
The reason why this kind of state law is being proposed (and it should be proposed and passed in several states, hopefully) -- is because people soon found out (if they didn't already know it) -- that there is no legal requirement for a Presidential Candidate to produce his birth certificate, in order to run.
Basically the way they've done it for a long time now (many candidates in the past) is to sign a statement swearing that they are qualified per the Constitution. That's what Obama did, which was just like the other candidates in the past.
So, Obama did not ignore the law to show his birth certificate to someone -- because there is no such law... :-)
