According to Dobbs, proof to run for House, Senate and the Presidency is left up the states and every state is different. And in IL proof of citizenship is not required.

All it takes is one state that requires it then based on that assumption right? If say the state of California or Texas were to require it wouldn’t that forfeit all of Obama’s votes in that state at least?

Well, good for him.

There's the small matter of the Qualifications for the Office in the Constitution that might be burdensome, though (Natural Born Citizen of the United States).

In Rhode Island, you only need to sign a form saying you are “constitutionally eligible”.

The Constitution requires it.

Period.

The states can’t enact Jim Crow laws, either.

Regarding this, I am starting to wonder if the MSM is really picking up interest. I know the pinheads at MSNBC and Newsweek will never give it the light of day, but it is being DISCUSSED. That is more than it has ever gotten before.

IIRC, there was a demand for administrative action put to the FEC, and this same result was announced by them way back when (Sept/Oct?).
.
The “state by state” provision has to do with ballot access. Voters vote for electors, state by state, and electors are “party” entities.

This is a federal issue, not a states’ issue.

If this is true, which I doubt, because it makes no sense, then WHO IS BREAKING THE LAW? (besides Obama). Who does a candidate for the presidency file their papers with??? A state? Or the Federal government?? Something very fishy here.

States control ballot access and always have. States have thrown presidential candidates off the ballot, too.

Lou needs to explain how a candidate can abide by the Constitutional requirement to be a natural born citizen without providing documentation confirming he or she is a natural born citizenship.

Back in 1880 Chester Arthur was running as James Garfield’s running mate. There were rumors that he wasn’t really born in Vermont but rather in Canada or even Ireland.

No proof was ever found of this so the whole matter went away.

When Garfield was assassinated, he became president but remains the last sitting president to run for his own parties nomination and lose it.

There is no federal requirement, because the executive branch of the federal government is not charged with validating the election process... THE LEGISLATURE IS!!!!

DUH!

IDIOTS!

I don't have the time right now to check, but I don't believe that the Constitution defines an election "Commission".

The constitutionality of the office should be addressed at least before a Supreme Court Justice swears him/her in...at least.

The biggest commiebama supporters in the world OUGHT to be on this bandwagon, because they'll be left looking mighty stupid (stupider) if it turns out he is a fraud. Also, the democrat party will be left looking pretty corrupt as aiders and abetters in this mockery of the Constitution.

It is in everyone's interest that commiebama either put up, or shut up, about his place of birth...the REAL place, not some manufactured, after-the-fact document like he posted on the internet.

Now he may just go ahead and produce the proof he needs—why wouldn’t a man of his means be able to achieve this—and claim that he was aware of these things all along and wanted to teach us all a needed lesson.

And...we’ll all have been had...again!

Shades of potus Arthur.

Obama and his droids are starting to feel the heat. This issue is catching fire and it’s a fire that will ignite our nation.

Federal Election Commission does not require any proof of citizenship to run for Presidency.

Yeah, but the poor beat down bloated slob applying for a job at Chicken Licken, must provide proof he is in the country legally, must produce his Social Security Number, his drivers license number, his previous work history, and submit to intrusive drug testing..

Illegals applying for the same job, just need to start working, and say Si, at which point they are provided company benefits consisting of two 10 minutes breaks per day.
