OK. I haven’t read the responses to this thread, so I may be restating what someone else has posted.
If the damn lawyers in the legislature would stop writing their bills using tons of gobbledegook language, we wouldn’t have such problems in regard to the stuff being passed on to various courts with activist judges to make their decisions, and it would waste so much time and money.
I seem to recall that it’s the responsibility of each State to have its Sec. of State verify that the candidates for elected offices are eligible. The US Speaker of the House also has to signify eligibility of candidates in the case of a Presidential election. That latter requirement was, of course, signed off by Speaker Pelosi without verifying the eligibility of Obama.
Seems the SoS’ of the various States failed big prior to the 2008 election just as the Speaker did.
Oooops! Posted that before I finished my thoughts.
The BS about what types of documents must/or can be provided is just garbage.
The statute should just simply require proof that a person seeking to be on the ballot as a candidate for President must provide valid evidence of being a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN of the US, as required for eligibility by the Constitution.
