    Here's a fine, recent example of the Republican Legislative Idea Factory at work:

    Birther bill hits Congress

    Rep. Bill Posey, a freshman Republican from Florida, introduced a bill yesterday mirroring proposed state legislation in Missouri and elsewhere that stems from fringe doubts about Obama's eligibility for office.

    The full bill text isn't yet available, and Posey's spokesman didn't immediately respond to a request for comment, but here's a summary:



    H.R. 1503. A bill to amend the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to require the principal campaign committee of a candidate for election to the office of President to include with the committee's statement of organization a copy of the candidate's birth certificate, together with such other documentation as may be necessary to establish that the candidate meets the qualifications for eligibility to the Office of President under the Constitution; to the Committee on House Administration.


    Though Posey's spokesman wasn't available, a Feb. 13 letter from Posey to a constituent on the subject appears on a website pushing the story in which Posey noted that courts and Hawaii officials had rejected the claims, but didn't state his own view on the subject.

    Most people would divulge any information necessary to remove all doubt of their legitimacy to be the President of the United States. It is quite sad that legislation would have to be drawn up to force this to be done. I would think that anyone who would devote their life to serve America and it's people would feel an obligation to the people they serve to show any all information about who they are.

    Bare legal minimum when your the POTUS gives the impression that the American people are not worthy of the full truth.

    While it's a step in the right direction, I'm hardly impressed by it. It's basically a bit of bureaucracy mixed with a bit of jargon about inflation.
