When Politics Damage the Constitution

When Politics Damage the Constitution...The issue of presidential eligibility is one that addresses the protection of our citizenry’s fidelity to the United States Constitution...It is time for the statesmen to emerge from the ranks of politicians. It is time for leadership and a devotion to good government over politics.

Lawmakers said they assumed that Gov. Mary Fallin, a Republican, would sign it..from Georgia to Montana they say that they simply want to clarify the status of all candidates.
