Why do you persist in this subterfuge? It does not require an "investigative unit" for the SecState to demand to see a birth certificate.
They have no budget and no statutory authority to perform that function.
Appeal to "Budget" is more subterfuge. No budget is required to look at a document. The cost of that can come out of the normal salary paid for them to sit behind a desk.
Appeal to "statutory authority" is utter nonsense because they can exercise such "statutory authority" when the whim takes them, as it did with Roger Calero.
Why do you present these dishonest arguments? Even more to the point, why do you insult our intelligence?
In most states, whoever a major political party nominates MUST BY LAW be placed on the ballot.
No law trumps constitutional law.
Barack Obama’s eligibility has been challenged 226 times.
I'm not interested in once more hearing your history lesson on the dysfunction of our legal system. Here you can't hide behind nonsense technicalities. Here you are subject to an actual debate on the facts.
You are not doing very well when your arguments butt up against the actual facts.
