Bill would force presidential candidates to show birth certificates to be on Texas ballot

AUSTIN — Presidential and vice presidential candidates would be required to prove to Texas election officials that they were born in the United States under a proposal that a House committee is considering.
Rep. Leo Berman, R-Tyler, insists his legislation isn’t a swipe at President Barack Obama, though some activists known as “birthers” question whether Obama was born in the U.S., as the Constitution requires.
