He was vetted no less rigorously that any other candidate for president in recent history.

Is the vetting process good enough? In some ways yes, but in some ways no.

He's been vetted well enough to satisfy any reasonable person that he's eligible. However, I would like to see state laws passed that would make the vetting process more formal. That would leave less fodder for conspiracy theories.

It would be a very good idea if all presidential candidates were required to present proof of eligibility to at least a few secretaries of state. In Obama's case, that would mean showing a physical copy of the COLB he posted on the internet to a secretary of state.

A lot of this birther nonsense would go away if he and all the other candidates had been required to do that. There would still be some birthers out there no matter, but there would be fewer if there were a formal process in place.
