Ariz. Lawmakers Want Presidential Candidates to Verify Citizenship

[Alpha Mare]

PHOENIX - Nearly half of the Arizona Legislature wants to force President Barack Obama to show his birth certificate to state officials if he runs for re-election.

A state House committee on Tuesday approved the measure sponsored by 40 of the state's 90 legislators. It would require U.S. presidential candidates who want to appear on the ballot in Arizona to submit documents proving they meet the constitutional requirements to be president.

Burges said 10 other states are considering similar legislation. Eleven U.S. House Republicans have signed on to a federal bill, but it hasn't received a hearing in the Democrat-controlled House.

The Arizona bill would require the secretary of state to review candidates' documents and withhold a candidate from the ballot if he has "reasonable cause" to believe ineligibility.

The DUmmies are all over this.  The term racist comes up frequently in that thread.

If enough states do this , Lord Zero would have to finally produce that birth certificate that says he is caucasion to run for reelection.

None of the Little Goons seem to think the answer to this is to produce a real birth certificate.  Why's that?

None of the Little Goons answer the question about everyone else who applies for a job must establish eligibility, so why not a President.  Why's that?

Anything that inconviences Obama in the least is "racist" to them, that's their (only) stock rebuttal. This is a step in the right direction, though Obama will probably jam it up in the courts for years and use the DOJ to try to overturn the law if it's ever passed.
