Orly most certainly should not have used the military...I used to find her interesting, now I despise her for the traitor she is...

Article 88—Contempt toward officials

And this is what Orly allegedly said to Military.com about her knowledge of said Law:

California dentist turned attorney Orly Taitz, who has brought the lawsuit, told Military.com Tuesday that it is her “understanding that there will not be a serious consequence to his career [for his statements], but I don’t know for sure.”

At the very least Orly owes a duty to her clients to posts said Laws on her Blog and state her understanding of said Laws.

"Why is it that someone running for an office is not required to show proof that they meet the eligibility requirements for that office before their name is listed on the ballot?"

IMHO, it's because a risk averse American public has found it much easier, and can minimize controversy and confrontation by entrusting government to pass laws rather than looking out for themselves. Our silly founders simply expected people to be smart enough to not vote for somebody who's citizenship was in question, and certainly provided for a First amendment for an inquisitive media to fully vet candidates for national office.
