Didn't say that a law from one state would apply in your state.
Here is exactly what you said:
I support laws, and think they should be enacted by all 50 states
Yep, that's what I said. No where did I say that the Federal government should pass a law mandating it on the States, nor did I say one State passes a law that mandates requirements to be followed in another State.
I said, as you correctly quoted, "I support laws, and think they should be enacted by all 50 states". The means that there are 50 States and that each State should pass it's own law that requires (and here is the rest of the idea you clipped out) candidates for any elected office from President to Dog Catcher submit documented evidence that meet the qualification criteria for that State.
The requirements for Federal Office are spelled out in the Constitution, the requirements for State or Local positions are laid out either in the State Constitution or in Statutory Law. Since each state may have different criteria such as filing deadlines and other factors for State/Local office - it would be up to each State to write their own law.
