elected officials don't have to prove that they have the right to work

Robins Commentary --

In the past, most presidents history have been an open book except for our current president whom it has been very difficult to trace his past in particular, the issue over his birth certificate.

notwithstanding the implications and embarrassment if in reality our president was not a US citizen but I would think that one of the lessons that we should have learned from this experience regarding president Obama's birth certificate is that with the upcoming elections, we should require ALL elected officials to follow suit like the rest of us who have to prove that they have the right to work (I-9 form)within the United States before taking office.

Currently, to my knowledge, according to a friend of mine who is a Former Lane County Commissioner, there is no such requirement.

which again is one of the reasons why it has been proposed for a 28th amendment of the Constitution which seeks to require that laws apply equally to the government as it does to US citizens.
