The language of the 20th Amendment, Section 3, makes it clear that the burden of proof of eligibility for the office of President of the United States is on the President elect.
” . . . if the President elect shall have failed to qualify”
Constitutionally, it’s not up to any of us to prove Obama is not a natural born citizen. It’s up to Obama to prove he is.
The time for him to be required to prove it is after he becomes President elect, which will happen on Monday, December 15, 2008. According to the 20th Amendment, he can not be required to provide proof before then.
