I recommend that you take your complaint to your politicians. They are the ones who must solve this issue and they are the ones who have lacked the courage to step up to the plate. Hillary could have done it, but she didn’t. McLain could have done it, but he didn’t. Any member of Congress could have done it, but they didn’t.

Force the politicians to deal with this issue by demanding legislation that requires candidates for President and Vice President to present certified proof of eligibility as a condition to be listed on the ballot. Politicians at the state level can enact such legislation.

Thanks for your thoughtful reply, and I agree that this method would have the most likelihood to succeed tactically (lots of new GOP majorities at the state govt level).

And back to your earlier comment- I do thank God for our military, every night at the dinner table with my family. America is truly blessed.

Words escape.

The Congressional Research Service sent out two different memos telling Congress-critters that it is/was not their place to deal with the eligibility question. The CRS says it was the job of the states to do that.

Sort of blows away Lind’s claim that the issue is a political question, if Congress isn’t even able to deal with it.

Sort of blows away the idea that the certification of the electoral vote says anything about Congress certifying eligibility.

And this is the CRS who is saying this, mind you. Not me. The legal experts advising Congress.
