State laws for non U.S. born-citizens are different than Federal laws. Anrie was made eligible for state govt, not federal.
And to the poster above you- It does matter to the people. We have laws for a reason. If we open up the door to arbitrarily changing laws and policies, we will not be the country we created 235 years ago. If President Obama lied to get into office, he does not deserve to be in office. Whether the people actually have any say in who we get handed to us, and who we are we are swayed to vote for is a real concern, but we are still working on the premise that we are a free and democratic country.edit on 20-6-2011 by SunnyDee because: (no reason given)edit on 20-6-2011 by SunnyDee because: (no reason given)

Yeah, I'm going to believe that Obama somehow made everything up about his background and managed to get past the CIA, FBI and all the other bureaus that look into whether or not a president is eligible.
Because after all, Obama is just a product of the NWO and he was groomed since he was a kid in the 70's to become the President of the U.S. in 2008 in order to destroy it.
Oh yeah they also knew he was going to win the election too!
Seriously
Trick question. The answer is, it doesn't exist. People assume some entity somewhere is watching out for something like that but the fact is, there is no authority anywhere responsible for vetting a candidate for eligibility.
Age and Citizenship requirements - US Constitution, Article II, Section 1
No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty-five years, and been fourteen years a resident within the United States.
Term limit amendment - US Constitution, Amendment XXII, Section 1 – ratified February 27, 1951
No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.

Why have we never seen the 'brilliant' intellectual, BHO's, college transcripts?

Actually, you can find the transcripts of GWB, Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter even Richard Nixon's undergrad study at Duke...on line.
No, you misunderstand. Whatever happens in one state by that board has no bearing on what happens in any other state. There is no universal, national vetting for candidates for President. It's a national office, the eligibility requirements are enumerated in the Constitution.
