The article said — “H.R. 1503. A bill to amend the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to require the principal campaign committee of a candidate for election to the office of President to include with the committee’s statement of organization a copy of the candidate’s birth certificate, together with such other documentation as may be necessary to establish that the candidate meets the qualifications for eligibility to the Office of President under the Constitution; to the Committee on House Administration.”

Now that’s a good move.
I just heard about Missouri, the other day, being the third state that I know of that is passing similar state legislation. It’s Arizona, Missouri and Oklahoma so far (unless someone knows of any others...).
I think it’s going to be easier getting these laws through the states, though. I find it hard to imagine that a predominant Democrat Congress will go for this. But, in the states (not all, but a sizable number), there’s not that kind of problem and they can move right ahead on it.
I’m glad to see the first signs of rationality, in people doing this sort of thing. This is what will work to get Obama out of office...
Or, it will be fun watching Obama try to run in fewer than all 50 States!
Also, on the “standing” issue, make sure a Conservative Democrat runs, in the primaries or in the Caucuses, in any State that has a Birth Certificate requirement.
That Candidate might better have “standing” in Federal or State Court to force Obama to obey the rules!
