I don't even waste my time wondering. I-infact-rely on the legal system of this country to present to me such questions, and to deal with them in a timely, efficient fashion.

Sighs patiently. Thats just it honey. *There *is* *no* *legal* *verification* *of* a *candidates* *qualifications*.

This is what I have been saying for 8 pages now. I looked into this for 12 hours, and ended up calling the department of elections in florida who said that the democratic party was responsible for ensuring Obama met the legal requirements.

No one else. Not the federal government. Not the states. The democratic parties. Minor candidates have to affirm an oath or some such that they meet the requirements - but major party candidates do not.

Please.. prove me wrong.. I would love it if you could.

Do you have any real, actual, physical proof that he's not?

You have it backwards - the constitution requires that a candidate be a natural born citizen of a certain age. It isn't incumbent on me to prove he isn't. Its up to the candidate to prove *he is*.
