How can you take seriously the qualifications in the constitution and the state regulations if they can't require a birth certificate?
As I said earlier on this or another post, the president is required to provide for the national defense, but there is nothing in the constitution or federal law that authorizes him to transport troops by airplane. Where does he get that authority. It is a method he may chose to carry out his responsibilities. Why don't you take that to court and see how far you get?
That’s exactly the problem there is NO requirement to Vet the candidate.
As much as we thought there would be, think there should be, are shocked there isn’t, can’t believe there can not be, fact is no state has set into law the exact means by which they are to confirm eligibility.
Check Fla law as example http://election.dos.state.fl.us/publications/pdf/2008-2009/08-09ElectionLaw.pdf - then go to 99.012, the relevant section on candidates and qualifications.
2. Each candidate for federal office, whether a party candidate, a candidate with no party affiliation, or a write-in candidate, in order to qualify for nomination or election to office shall take and subscribe to an oath or affirmation in writing. A printed copy of the oath or affirmation shall be furnished to the candidate by the officer before whom such candidate seeks to qualify and shall be substantially in the following form:
Then they check their bank accounts, the candidate pays a fee and it’s off to the races.
Nothing but a friggin oath - NO verification of the persons eligibility, they take everything simply by their word.
As we all know a politician would never lie, so what else do we need but their word, right?
