Arizona Secretary of State Threatens to Remove Obama from Ballot

Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett is threatening to keep President Obama’s name off the state’s ballot in November unless he receives confirmation from Hawaii that it has a valid birth certificate on file for him.

Bennett, who spoke to Arizona radio host Mike Broomhead Thursday, said he requested the confirmation eight weeks ago and has not gotten it. Hawaii, he said, does not have to supply a certified copy of the birth certificate, merely send him an email confirming that it has one.

Asked by Broomhead if he would remove Obama’s name from the ballot if Hawaii fails to comply, Bennett said: “That’s possible. Or the other option would be that I would ask all the candidates, including the president, to submit a certified copy of their birth certificate.”

Despite overwhelming evidence that Obama was born in Hawaii, the issue of his birth continues to dog him. Thursday, Breitbart Big Government reported on a promotional booklet by Obama’s own literary agency listing him as having been born in Kenya.

Bennett said Hawaii law permits government officials to request verification of possession of a birth certificate in lieu of a certified copy.

“They could say yes tomorrow and the whole thing goes away,” Bennett said. “If they can’t say yes to that simple question, than it makees we wonder if we have to take it to another level. One way or another, we have to have some simple verification that people are qualified for the office if they’re going to be on the ballot here in Arizona.”

They may be backed into a corner in Arizona,
but since no other SoS has the balls to do this,

they’ll delay as long as possible before getting disqualified in Az,
so that other states won’t “domino”.

[Mr. Wright]

If the lame-stream, liberal-left, communist-progressive, state-run media were doing its job, this guy would not be on the ballot in any of the “57” States!!!!!

I’ve long wondered where he will spend his exile years.

ready to pull the same trigger

Thanks for making the effort to go to all these important pressers, AG. You're doing freepmanship service!

It's so fortunate that here at FR we're able to get timely personal observations garnered from an actual live event.

We know the MSM withholds what it doesn't want us to hear or know.

Your report is detailed, important, factual, informative....and much appreciated.

HURRAH FOR FREEPER ADVERTISING GUY!

“Hawaii, he said, does not have to supply a certified copy of the birth certificate, merely send him an email confirming that it has one.” What a scam.

Two State Government Officials - elected by the US Citizens - "CERTIFIYING" to each other that the NBC actually exists!!! What a concept - Obama will destroy AZ Sect of State.

Hawaii governor can't find Obama birth certificate

Hawaii governor hasn't found Obama's birth certificate yet

[fuzzylogic]

Yep - that’s how I see it, somebody has Joe’s back! ...you gotta love the Constitutional Republic!

To Obama: the constitution exists precisely for those that wish there weren’t one!

He really thought that the states don’t have any clout.

[ChiefJayStrongbow]

Hopefully, the AZ sec of state worded his question a little more precise:

Do you have a certified copy of a birth certificate that verifies that Barak Hussein Obama was born in Hawaii?

If the AZ sec of state omitted the “born in Hawaii”, they could just have a certified copy of a birth certificate that says Barry was born in Kenya.

[Cheerio]

per your tagline - (Natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens. De Vattel)

Even the dumbest libtard cannot argue that the Chicago Jesus' father held American citizenship - he was a Kenyan BRIT.

[kiltie65]

Hawaii does not want to be on record confirming Obummer was born there, coz’ they know he was not, and once they put it formally in writing, they know there will be consequences once he’s out of office and there is a reckoning.

[ridesthemiles]

I think Obama and his family are going to flee the country on November 4, 2012.””

How many of Muchelle’s taxpayer funded trips all over the globe were actually country/house hunting trips???

[Hildy]

I know Ken Bennett. he is an honest good man. Our next Governor election is going to be a tough one because there will be several wonderful men running. I like out Treasurer, Doug Ducey.

[FreeAtlanta]

There is as much overwhelming evidence that he may not have been born in Hawaii as there is overwhelming evidence that he was.

All the man has done is present fraudulent papers and 2 newspaper birth announcements.

No hospital is claiming his birth, and the flight records for his mother's return from Kenya is missing.

[bgill]

My money is on AZ caving. The Evil One will be on every ballot in all 57 states.

[Hildy]

Ken Bennett is also known here in AZ as our SINGING SECRETARY OF STATE. Check out him singing, "THANK GOD I'M REPUBLICAN!" KEN BENNETT SINGS

They are covering their arses. People around this issue are trying to not perjure themselves or to be too obvious in their culpability.

It is possible, if the lid blows, that their would be long jail sentences and huge fines. This tidal wave case makes Watergate look like an outing in child water park.

To date, Barry has;

• Eligibility Gate
• Selective Service Gate
• Fast & Furious (Gunwalker) gate
• Solyndragate that are all bigger than Watergate or Clinton's escapades with Monica (I still think Clinton had some bigger and more serious scandals with selling nuke and rocket secrets to China and whiffing on Osama Bin Laden).

[FreeAtlanta]

Remember when their wacko lefty new governor promised he was going to have it released, then back down?

[Jeff Vader]

the wheels of justice turn slowly, but they do turn

[Tennessee Nana]

If Romney is anything like McCain he will do everything he can to help Obama.

He alrerady has...long ago..

Willie Mitty has mocked the “birthers” and said that he is satisfied that Barry was born in Hawaii...

Since he also has a foreign born father he has never sddressed the fact that Obama Sr hails from Kenya....
