"That's ridiculous to say that there is no document requirement, how else can the candidate prove that they are eligible without documents ? it's plain common sense."

It's ridiculous to say there is a document requirement, when the text of Constitution is available to anyone and we can all see that it's just not there.

It's doubly ridiculous to insist that such a requirement exists when no other president has ever had to comply with one. You would have us believe that this requirement just magically popped into being, inside the hidden part of the Constitution, in 2008. Now that's absurd.

The common sense view is that the procedure laid out in the Constitution itself is exactly the process the founders had in mind for enforcing the provision. The electors are selected, they vote, and the Congress certifies. Those entities had the power and authority to enforce the requirements. No magically changing Constitution required.

No matter how much you try to skirt around it, who ever is running for president of the USA should provide documents to prove that they are eligible to be president of the United States.
So I guess ? you rather have your Obama boy get away with it ? .. ohhh wait, just because some think that President Arthur Chester got away with it means that Obama should get a free pass too ?
The argument that the other presidents didn't have to provide documents is crazy, where you there when all the other presidents were made candidates for their party ? tell us all knowing, enlightened , magnificent one, where you there ? you don't know squat what happened in the past concerning those " other Presidents "
The Constitutional requirement that the President must be 35 years old, and a Natural Born Citizen is what it is.... and how else can we prove that they are 35 years old and a natural born citizen unless we take a look at their birth certificate and other documents.
What do you say when you go to the motor vehicle administration and they ask you for documents ? do you tell them that it's not required in the Constitution ? are you going to tell them that you don't need to show them any stinking documents ?
Oh yeah ? how do we know where and when you where born unless you have a valid birth certificate ? do you want us to sit here and guess ? that is crazy.
Stop supporting your Obama boy, he will trow you under the bus like the rest.
Stop playing coy , you know very well that Obama's documents need to be looked at to see whether he is eligible or not, stop this stinking revolving door argument that the liberals play.
