The answer is here-
"Hill tried to dismiss the suit because, while the U.S. Constitution limits the office of president to only those who have a “natural born” citizenship status, New Jersey law does not require a candidate to furnish proof of his or her status.
According to the Tea Party Tribune, Hill went on to admit that the long form birth certificate released online by the White House in April 2011 is indeed a forgery that did not originate from an actual paper document and therefore, it cannot be used as evidence to confirm his lack of natural born citizenship status.
The issue of the birth certificate is “irrelevant to his placement on the ballot,” Hill contended."
Is this a "too easy" answer? Why don't all the states pass laws saying that you have to be a natural born citizen, and proof must be furnished?
I wonder how the admitted forgery is going to muster in states that do require proof.
Thoughts?
