All Arizona’s law would require is that a candidate show evidence of eligibility. If the Secretary of State (I think) rejects it, then you would have a court case for the Supreme Court. Until then, everything would go as normal.
If Obama presented a birth certificate from Hawaii, odds are VERY good he would be certified for the ballot by Arizona.
To put teeth into this law, Arizona would have to pass a law stating that no one could run for President unless both parents were US citizens. THAT would be a rejection of Obama, and require one hell of a legal fight...but don’t hold your breath.

good point
The MSM all released strong talking points at the same time ridiculing AZ, --
Rush Limbaugh has said--they will let you know where their weaknesses are. (Big reaction to tea party, sarah Palin, AZ, and Rush)

Wow, that would be brilliant Mr. Rogers! Just stating that in order to be considered a natural born in the state of Arizona one would have to have 2 US citizen parents. That would in effect (possibly - wishing of course) get this to the Supreme Court and finally end our dilemma of what constitutes a natural born.
I've always been of the mindset that it would require 2 US citizens. I mean any citizen can be a Senator, but only a Natural born can be President or Vice President - there has to be that defining line of what the difference actually is.
