They won’t touch it nor the SC. So what can we do? Make the states require it.
A Republican Committee Chairperson can issue a congressional subpoena for it and if constituents and national conservatives apply enough political pressure, that just might happen.
Obama will use a short form COLB if the states require it.
The short form contains the information that Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution requires.
If any state requires ONLY a long form, that state law would stay tied up in the Courts for years, all the way to the Supreme Court as a violation of the “full faith and credit” clause of the Constitution: what any state says is valid, all the other states and the feds must accept.
