There are people in the government that check qualifications such as these.
Mike Trivisonno Show, WTAM 1100, 7-2-08 Hour 2 Audio
Have a listen a little over half way through. Just move the slider to about the middle and play it from there to skip the irrelevant first half. Mike had local FBI agents on as guests and was taking callers when this question was asked:
CALLER – Do they perform background checks on candidates and fellows who are in Congress and the Senate and perhaps potential presidential candidates?.
FBI – The short answer is no. No we don’t, but they’re given top secret clearances because they’re members of Congress, or Senators, or even higher ranking officials.
HOST – Time out. There are no background checks from the FBI on the people that lead the country, the United States of America?
FBI – Let me emphasize, elected officials. This is a democracy, the people have elected an official to represent them in Washington, and we do not routinely run background checks on those people.
HOST – Even people running for president of the United States of America?
FBI – That’s correct.

Let America decide whether or not he qualifies!

So there you have it. It's not currently required that candidates prove their eligibility, nor does the FBI routinely check the backgrounds of any elected officials including presidents. It's a fairly massive failing on the part of our government that it isn't already required.
