Which branch of government certifies that B. Hussein Obama, or McCain, is eligible to run for President? This seems like a simple question but I can't find a simple answer.

***Probably the 4th branch.
I believe the answer is "no branch."
When a candidate files to be on the ticket in a state, there should be a section where the candidate affirms his eligibility. The state takes his word for it.
This is how govt "works." It doesn't investigate much of anything unless the powers that be are convinced by outsiders (that would be us) to get off their butts.
