There is no state in the union that has a statute and there is no federal statute that requires a presidential candidate to present a birth certificate in order to qualify for the ballot. Federal administrative law states that a U.S. Passport is primary evidence of citizenship and identity and a birth certificate is considered to be secondary evidence.

Arizona’s legislature passed a birth certificate bill in 2011 but Governor Brewer vetoed it.

In Arizona a candidate must personally sign a notarized statement that he/she is a “natural born citizen of the United States.” That attestation can then be challenged in court and Obama was challenged.

Allen v Obama, Arizona Superior Court Judge Richard E. Gordon: “Arizona courts are bound by United States Supreme Court precedent in construing the United States Constitution, and this precedent fully supports that President Obama is a natural born citizen under the Constitution and thus qualified to hold the office of President. Contrary to Plaintiff’s assertion, Minor v. Happersett, 88 U.S. 162 (1874), does not hold otherwise.”—Pima County Superior Court, Tuscon, Arizona, March 7, 2012

So? You act like people are stupid, and unable to recognize that a constitutional directive grants a tacit and consequent authority to enforce it.

Whatever authority is granted to enforce "freedom of speech" is likewise granted to enforce Article II, and no State Law is capable of gainsaying it.
