Presidential Election Bill in Washington D.C.

Our Congressmen and Senators can't seem to find the time or energy to fix CPSIA, but they have plenty of time for other interesting legislation.

Here's one of the newest laws being proposed:
Bill # H.R.1503: To amend the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to require proof of citizenship for presidential candidates.

Original Sponsor: Bill Posey (R-FL 15th)

About This Legislation:
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.
