Agreed, someone would have checked. On the other hand none of those 'someones' seems to have spoken up.

He was elected to three separate offices, each requiring that he be a US citizen, and he was able to fool all three? Even when he was a no body first running for state senator?

Well, Federal Senator requires that you be a citizen for nine years, not that you be naturally born. Of course if he wasn't naturally born and never applied for citizenship...
The Hawaii state legislature only requires that you have been a citizen of the state for at least three years. The Illinois state legislature requires that you be a resident of the district you wish to represent for at least two years.
That said, I completely agree with your summations. Anything negative I've said is purely for fun. FactCheck's page is plenty good enough for me.
