I'm not a barrister so I can't pass judgement on the form one way or the other, BUT it looks good to me. ;^)

There are a few other states, a dozen or so, that are anywhere from the talking stage to submitted bills. Some more samples:

ARIZONA last year died in the senate.
TEXAS, submitted this year; short and sweet. Gotta luvit.
IDAHO stalled last year for some reason.
I wish there was a clearinghouse site for these eligibility initiatives. If there is one, I can't find it.

Great finds. I’m guessing they stalled because of fears over “birther” backlash- why take a political risk when it seemed to be based on little more than mere speculation at the time? But when even the Hawaii Gov. is making ambiguous statements on the issue, from a political perspective, I don’t see what the big deal would be in passing the legislation.

Nobody smeared the people who brought a lawsuit over McCain’s place of birth as “birthers”- it was a Constitutional question they had. Passing legislation requiring a BC would simply be a way of ensuring that Constitutional requirements were met without questions.
