wouldn’t it be simpler, and less likely to charges of partisanship to require all candidates prove their elligibility?

Unless I am reading it incorrectly, the proposed requirement applies to all candidates. There is no mention of Obama.

I agree, but the problem got out of hand because ‘officials’ refused to certify elligibility of certain candidates before their names were put on the ballots in the first place.

not sure how another law would make them do so now.

if those entrusted with upholding qualifications for office had done their jobs, we wouldn’t be in the mess we’re in today.
