Your points agree with what my perception of things were. I just wondered if there was any "special" enumerated difference in the bill that might make it different from "standard operating procedure".
It looks like someone or some group got to her.
Not from what I remember when I read the statute. It's pretty short. But, jurisprudentially, virtually any decision or administrative ruling by a state officer would be subject to judicial review except in instances specifically addressed in the state Constitution or in a statute that included a judicial stripping provision. This statute didn't, and it's certainly not mentioned in the state Constitution
Read section of the bill concerning presidential candidates....Obama would still qualify. No long form birth certificate...no problem.
