Pretty straight foeward, two or so States pass legislation that requires physical evidence of candidates eligability before qualifying for the ballot in that State. The candate can opt not to run in those States - but to do so would send a pretty powerful picture to even the most brain dead voter that the emperor has no cloths.

There’s a bill I’d like to see passed in at least one state which, along with requiring birth and citizenship documentation and transaction logs for the records (to identify forgery or tampering), would require the SOS to deny placement on the ballot if eligibility was contested, unless and until all appeals in the courts were done and the result was SCOTUS declaring the candidate eligible.

One of the things I really like about this kind of bill is that the courts would be required to “decide all cases and controversies arising from” the Constitution and laws, as Article III requires. And because the court ultimately decides whether the candidate is eligible or not, if the candidate is ruled to be ineligible any party official who signed a certification of nomination for that candidate would be liable for contempt of court charges.

So even if it was the tiniest of the 57 states (cough) that enacted the law, the lowly “fly-over country” to the elitists - its law could hold the DNC, RNC, and every state and federal bureaucrat accountable to the law on this issue.

David and Goliath. Doesn’t everybody (except the giant. lol) love it when the little guy wins?

The bill I’d like to see enacted in at least one state is at http://butterdezillion.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/final-short-form-eligibility-bill1.pdf .

To get it passed it has to be introduced before the state’s deadline, and if it gets introduced we can be sure Obama’s handlers will be on it so we will need to push the legislators. And encourage them and truthfully tell them we’ve got their backs.

We’ll have the SOTU that the media will be paying attention to next week; that’s all they’ll be talking about. Which will be the IDEAL time for us to be working on our state legislators to make a huge push for accountability and the rule of law.
