Which prior candidate showed a birth certificate to "the State Department?" I can't seem to find any news articles about John Kerry, Al Gore, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Bob Dole, George H. W. Bush, Michael Dukakis, Walter Mondale, Ronald Reagan, or Jimmy Carter arriving at "the State Department" to present their papers.

Do I need to look back beyond that for the last time it happened?

Did every single State Department employee witness the presentation of documents? Was it just the Secretary of State who received the formal papers from each candidate? Perhaps a deputy? Is it a civil servant who looks over and approves the form, or a political appointee? If the candidate disagrees with the State Department's assessment of the validity of his papers, is there an appeals process?

Did the candidates need to show their parents birth certificates as well, you know, to ensure they were natural born citizens? Or is that a new requirement?

Please, do tell me more about this procedure. I'm fascinated by this untold story of American politics.

Every Candidate has that was questioned .. they have to if questionable. In fact, there was on on the ballot this year .. do not remember his name that was required to show proof of natural-born citizenship but turns out he was from Nicaragua.

He was removed from the ballot.

If there the Candidate’s citizenship is questionable, he will be asked to provide the Certificate of Birth as was in the case of John McCain. John McCain show proof of his citizenship right away and it wasn’t some forged COLB as was in the Obama case.

When requested, the documents are submitted to the Bureau of Consular Affairs at the Department of State (DOS).

Obama has failed to do so. He will only show an image of a supposedly existing certificate.

You’re grasping at straws .. bottom line, Obama has not shown any real proof. Other Candidates in question have.

A doctored up Photoshop image doesn’t count.
