I love that idea, but the problem would be that the states that would pass this would be red states that Obama can’t win anyway. Now if we could get Florida, Ohio, North Carolina then that would be a way to work this. But if it is Texas, Utah, Montana, Idaho we might not make as great an impression.

The thought is that it would make him quit after a first term if it looked like a trend was developing.

That is not the point. The point is that if even one single state puts up such a requirement, and Obama does not or cannot fulfill it before the election, then we go into a presidential election where Obama isn't on the ballot in an entire state because he couldn't prove his eligibility. Think of how that would look to the other 49 states. Who, besides the most ideologically anti-American, would vote for a guy who couldn't even show he was eligible to run?

It only takes ONE state. The media could not ignore a failure to provide REQUIRED information on the part of ANY prospective candidate.
