    This really should be a slam dunk. That it isn’t is becoming a very non-funny joke on the American People.

    When you put your name in the hat for an election to any public office to serve The People, your basic credentials and identification should be available, AND VERIFIABLE to The People whom you will be serving. It’s not a private office after all, it’s a god damned PUBLIC office.

    It shouldn’t matter if it’s for a school board position, a sheriff, a dog-catcher, mayor, house representative, senator, governor, or even the president of the United States.

    Don’t like that? Then don’t fucking run!

    Why isn’t this a carved-in-stone rule already?

    Article 2, section 1, paragraph 5. It is.

    These state legislators are on the right track. The opposition and indifference to these measure stems from ruling class arrogance and revulsion to actually having to be subject to rule of law.

    The founders didn’t want naturalized foreigners or other with a non American pedigree to be leaders of this country because their outlook is not of an American perspective. We are finding out how bad things can be when you have a president with such an “internationalist” perspective.

    Keep in mind that the so-called progressives are the one who are slaves to precedent they are the one who wish to enshrine exceptions to the clearly articulated mandate of the constitution. Once they have reached the conclusion they want the issue suddenly become settled. We cannot allow the precedent of a usurper in the white house stand. This is how we got to this point in history by allowing what seemed to be benign exception(in some cases egregious exceptions; like this) to stand by the use of sophistry and risible interpretations of the law.

    Make Obama show his bona fides other wise the spin merchants and obfuscators on the left will metamorphosize it into binding law.

    Hey Blake, II.1.5 does specify the requirement for the POTUS to be a natural born citizen, but my argument is that this doesn’t go far enough.

    I propose a further requirement; that before a Presidential candidate’s name could be accepted for either the popular vote or the Electoral College’s vote, both the candidate and their parents’ original birth certificates, with doctor’s signatures affixed thereon, must be presented to the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court for examination and certification of the candidate’s status as a Natural Born citizen. The Chief Justice would then state for the public record, under oath, his findings.

    The citizenry deserves no less than this.

    Agreed. This would theoretically settle a LOT of things. First and foremost (hopefully) where ones loyalties lie.
