I have been saying for a while that one of the glaring, apparent deficiencies in this process is that no one seems to be responsible for ensuring that the President-elect is eligible under the Constitution to serve.

This is indeed a breakthrough to find out that the party at least gives lipservice to this requirement. That said, there still is no indication that a substantive review by individuals who are expert in how the law applies to the unusual facts in Obama’s case was conducted, much less how it might be verified or challenged.

I agree. Soemthing doesn't pass the smell test though. Why would a political animal like Howard Dean resign after orchestrating a "Landslide" election? An extended overseas vacation?

In Rhode Island, all it takes is a form signed by Obama that he is constitutionally eligible. We have to take his word.

In the response I got from the Sec of State's legal council in California. She is saying it was the parties' responsibility to check the candidates for qualifications.

In other words: Howard Dean. Ouch.

BTW my e-mail exchange is with Alan Keyes FWIW.
