I’ve yet to find a single state that lays down in law just how a Secretary of State is supposed to verify the eligibility of a person running for election.

This is where Obama was able to sneak in, yea the requirement is there but the backbone for it is missing. All states simply accept the signature of someone running for office.

It’s some sort of faith system, after all we know politicians would never, ever lie.

If you know of a state that does have lawful requirements written into their code on the means and manner to verify eligibility, I’d love to see it. If there is one we may be able to find a citizen of that state, and a lawyer willing to put everything on the line, to go after their secretary of elections for malfeasance of office.

By getting a signed statement. See my post above for Rhode Island’s way to ‘verify’ a candidate is eligible.

If I presented the definition of natural born to a 4th grader and asked how would you find out if someone was natural brn, 99% of them would say they'd look at the birth certificate. How else should it be done.

Because the secretaries of state are either cowards, negligent, or lulled into complacency is not an indicator of the need for a new law.
