It is the fastest way to get rid of Obama.
What state will he file in if he runs again?
I assumed that States or at least someone did require that a Candidate prove they were qualified to run.
Obama and the Democrats behind him made an ass out of U and me.
This law should be in every state.
Certainly the USSC can have no objections as to the Constitutionality of it.
“she was asked to file the legislation by the Wilson County Tea Party.”
Good job tea party!
Yep, and you can see Obama's flunkies applying that rule in the WH press conference the other day when one reporter dared ask about what Obama was going to do about this problem.
Sniggering and smirking and sneering and giggling. Contemptible lot of traitors to the trade of journalism. I despise them so much.
See here for article and video.
Even a snarky comment from NYT editor Bill Keller. (if it's genuine)
I believe he, or any candidate, will have to file in any state that he wishes to be on the ballot in. Remember the president is elected by the states, as are all federal government office holders. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A FEDERAL ELECTION.
Bingo....and each state sets its voting rules.
That’s Great! Thanks!
Congress is REQUIRED to verify the qualifications of the President elect according to the Twentieth amendment, section three. This would include the eligibility qualifications. In fact, the burden of qualifiying is on the President elect. If he cannot provide evidence of eligibility, he cannot be President. Period. Article two's eligibility requirement points out that "No Person" can serve as President who isn't a natural born citizen and thirty-five years old. "No Person" does not leave wiggle room.
We the people have a right to know what was provided to them as proof of eligibility. Also, anyone who takes the oath of office in Article six has the standing to go before a judge to see that section three of the Twentieth amendment was complied with or they are breaking their oath to "support this Constitution". This would include state representatives such as State Sen. Mae Beavers. Proposing this bill is nice but she should really go to the nearest courtroom and demand to see evidence instead.
First, states start implementing eligibility checks. Then, it’s voter ID. Next thing you know, the dead won’t even be allowed to vote. What’s this world coming to!?
It stems for the so-called Constitution.

We can expect the Obama squad to challenge any state legislation to try to slow down implementation until after the 2012 election. When that happens it will be an admission that he’s got nothing.
