I ignored it for almost 2 weeks, hoping it would die down, but it has become metastasized.
Shame on our CONGRESS for not establishing a National VOTER ID law!
That bears repeating.
I'm curious... Is there any mechanism in place in any state to compel a presidential candidate to provide the citizenship status of his parents at the time of such candidate's birth?
Somehow, I doubt it.
“Is there any mechanism in place in any state to compel a presidential candidate to provide the citizenship status of his parents at the time of such candidate’s birth?”
It should be automatic that whether or not a candidate for Pres. is a “natural born citizen” be determined by a duly certified commission. This would require a showing that the candidate’s parents were U. S. citizens at the time of his birth on U. S. territory.
Of course, all of this has been rendered moot in the special case of Kenyan (culturally, irrespective of place of birth) Muslim B. Hussein Obama.
Doing so would require a national ID registration system. Which gets the panties of a lot of people around here seriously bunched.
Also, the Constitution, except as amended, gives the power to set voting qualifications to the states. Federalism and all that.
