re: only way to handle this thing is at the state level

I think you are correct. What if a state could find something to decline to do claiming he’s not eligible to be in the office. Find some bill he’s signed that requires them to do something specific, and then simply notify the powers that be that they will not be doing it.

I quite agree that having one or two states require proof of eligibility would do it, but maybe there’s a quicker way to handle it.

I think a lot of states will be refusing mandates...if one could attach the eligibility question to their objections, that might help.

I do think that legislating documentary reqirements would be the quickest for getting rid of him. I can’t see the courts doing anything about him before 11/12, if ever-—”a political question” will be their main excuse. And the federal courts are gun shy about politics after Bush/Gore even though SCOTUS was absolutely right about it.

Maybe a state could challenge Obama's authority to sign legislation (affecting that state) into law.
