Proof of United States Citizenship is not the same as proving Natural Born Citizenship. All one needs to show as "evidence" of your Citizenship status is a passport. If you present a valid passport issued by the United States Government saying you are a Citizen of the United States, that is prima facie evidence of your status as a Citizen of the United States. I'm sure Obama has such a document. Actually all he needs to show is his Presidential ID. I think any court in the Nation would consider that sufficient evidence of "citizenship."
The problem is not Obama's citizenship, it is his status at the time of his birth. I don't see anything in this law that requires anyone to produce a birth certificate or other evidence of Natural Born Citizen status or to even prove they were born in the United States. Under this law Arnold Schwartenegger could get on the ballot.
Well, that and his subsequent status after being adopted in Indonesia.

Such written request shall include proof of identity and proof of United States citizenship for each candidate
I agree, was going to say the same thing.
There’s nothing in this bill that specifies the precise documentation that’s required. So they could get any corrupt democrat to sign off on a scrap of postit note and they’d call it golden.
