“...this could create a situation where each of the 50 states would be screening presidential candidates using different standards.”

So?
What is wrong with states’ rights anyway?

I was under the impression that the bill only required potential candidates to verify that they were constitutionally eligible to hold the office for which they were aspiring to. The constitution grants states that authority. This smells really bad. Sovereign nation my a**.

Their reasoning for their vote is a crock of crap!

Sen. John McComish, R-Phoenix. And Sen. Adam Driggs, R-Phoenix, said this could create a situation where each of the 50 states would be screening presidential candidates using different standards.And you're worried about what other states do, why?
Pack of cowards...

Virtually identical legislation was introduced in the House in the form of HB 2544. But that measure has never gotten a hearing.... Time to move this one in the AZ House.

“The Arizona Bill was defeated today with the help of three Republicans.”
I see primary challenges in their futures.
Frankly, I think this all comes down to the flak the state has taken over the illegal immigration vote they held last year.
They’ve allowed the LSM to turn them into weenies.

You know...I could run for President right now and not be worried about the Constitutional qualifications. They are solid, though getting the votes is an entirely different matter. ;o)
To your point...they should concern themselves with only their state and laws, and not worry about the requirement laws of the the other states.

Just a thought and I know it was a state matter, but I can almost see John McCain’s hand in this screwed up vote.........Just saying.
To: dalereed
It was a joke.
Since no one needs to prove constitutional eligibility, anyone can now run.
Even the age restriction is unenforceable.

Orly Taitz must have testified before the committee.

Have you guys figured out yet that the Democratics and the Republicans are playing for the same team?

""I think it's inappropriate for the state of Arizona to establish its own criteria for a federal office that goes beyond what the (U.S.) Constitution requires" Someone this stupid should be removed.
