“The only loophole in the bill, for presidential candidates, is that someone who didn’t run in a presidential primary in Montana, but who is nominated by a ballot-qualified party, need not file the documents to appear on the ballot in November.”
That’s a pretty big hole. If Obama doesn’t bother with the Montana Primary, or if he has no primary challenger, he’s on the ballot without proof again.
Whatever Hawaii says is valid proof of birth in that state will be accepted by every other state. Now that Obama’s best buddy, Neil Abercrombie is Governor of Hawaii, a short form COLB for Obama will be recognized as valid proof of birth and every other state will accept it or be sued for violating Article IV, Section 1.
The Full Faith and Credit Clause—Article IV, Section 1, of the U.S. Constitution—provides that the various states must recognize legislative acts, public records, and judicial decisions of the other states within the United States. It states that “Full Faith and Credit shall be given in each State to the public Acts, Records, and judicial Proceedings of every other State.” The statute that implements the clause, 28 U.S.C.A. § 1738, further specifies that “a state’s preclusion rules should control matters originally litigated in that state.” The Full Faith and Credit Clause ensures that judicial decisions rendered by the courts in one state are recognized and honored in every other state. It also prevents parties from moving to another state to escape enforcement of a judgment or to relitigate a controversy already decided elsewhere, a practice known as forum shopping.
