The internet COLB will not be enough as the bill requires this:
[The Arizona bill also requires attachments, "which shall be sworn to under penalty of perjury," including "an original long form birth certificate that includes the date and place of birth, the names of the hospital and the attending physician and signatures of the witnesses in attendance."
It also requires testimony that the candidate "has not held dual or multiple citizenship and that the candidate's allegiance is solely to the United States of America."
"If both the candidate and the national political party committee for that candidate fail to submit and swear to the documents prescribed in this section, the secretary of state shall not place that presidential candidate's name on the ballot in this state," the state plan explains.]
As we all know and backed up by Obama's website 'Fight the Smears, Obama's father was a British National and due to the British Nationality Act Of 1948, that status governed Obama Srs children making young Barack a dual citizen at birth.
George Washington was a British Subject until he took some kind of oath after the Declaration of Independence was signed. But his new legions just took his word for it. He wasn't required to pass any any litmus test to prove his allegiance. So technically, Washington himself held dual citizenship.
Didn't matter where George Washington was born, nor any supposed oath, being a citizen of the colony of Virginia at the time the Constitution was adopted made him a United States Citizen. As per the Constitution (Article II Section 2) those where were citizens at the time of the adoption were exempt from the Natural Born Citizen requirement.

"No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty-five years, and been fourteen years a resident within the United States."
I've always wondered about the necessity of the highlighted phrase, separated by comas.
