I still think that the “birthers” are going at this all wrong. Instead of trying to find ways to have the sitting President prove that his is eligible, we should be focused on making sure that no one is ever able to get that far in the next round of elections.

We simply need one state to pass a law requiring that every candidate for Federal office be able to prove that they are eligble. The state could specify what documents should be presented in order to prove it.

Pretty simple, yet I have heard nothing about any state doing that.

I forget which state, but I believe that at least one state has this on the agenda right now. If not, they should.

Forget my state. It's as blue as MA.

I am of the opinion that we should continue to fight the usurper tooth and nail every day he is in the White House illegaly. We need to make his life a living he!!. Cut him no slack. At the same time, do as you suggested. Make dam#@d sure that NO ONE gets as far as Ø has done.

Oklahome is one.

Short Title: Elections; legislative referendum; creating the Candidate Identification Act of 2010; requiring proof of citizenship for certain candidates; codification; noncodification; effective date; ballot title; filing.

I don't know when it is up for a vote.

Candidate ID Act of 2010, Oklahoma

As I posted many times, 0b0z0 won’t be running for reelection, precisely because of the fear of being “REQUIRED” to prove his eligibility.

To make certain of ousting 0kaka, an accented, naturalized American should run for POTUS in ‘12. If he/she is thrown out as he/she should be, then he/she WILL HAVE STANDING to sue for proof of ALL other candidates’ eligibility!

This is why I believe that 0b0z0 will never dare to run for reelection.

Here are a couple of links to information about state efforts to require proof of constitutional eligibility: http://www.scribd.com/doc/27721631/Table-of-Bills-Pending-in-State-Legislatures-Regarding-Eligibility-for-the-Presidency

I agree with you that this is probably the best tactic to take on the eligibility issue. Let's not kid ourselves though. The Obama people and their sycophants will no doubt try to tie up these efforts in court, just like they do with requirements to produce a picture ID to vote. Efforts to combat fraud will be resisted at all costs.

Both remains an option, and if you don't manage to get the Usurper thrown out on his ash, you keep him from running again. But in the mean time, he'll have done a lot of damage to the country. A whole pot full of it.

BINGO. We need to establish this forever forward by the states. And you are right that all we need is one state, to start.

I have thought and said the same, and think you are spot on.

I have heard rumblings out there on this, but don’t have a link. But it has come up at the state legislator level.
