It looks like Pelosi gets to decide who is on the ballot in AZ now just like 2008. Thanks Jan.

it’s one way only:

conservatives decompensate into liberals,

but never do liberals upgrade to conservatives.

Over-ride the veto.....

[RJS1950]

I think that she vetoed it because I believe that the bill stated that if there was a dispute or question it was left to whomever the Secretary of State is to give a yea or nay. This could result in unintended political consequences if the AZ SoS were a criminal democrat. It would be a precedent that could be challenged in court and emulated by democrat controlled states.

So, to date, not one state in the union has a law requiring anything more than a COLB?

[MrB]

And like that, until another state attempts to pass a birther bill, it seems the controversy over whether or not President Obama was born in Kenya or Hawaii has been put to rest.

Just HOW does this put this question "to rest"?

Look for her to get a huge check from Soros after she leaves her government job behind her.

Brewer is dead to me

[iontheball]

Listen guys and gals, there is heavy duty blackmail going on in this country. I do not know what it is, but when the threat is conveyed to whomever, it scares the hell out of all of them. Ask yourself, if Brewer had a problem with the legislation, why didn't she voice this concern when the bill was being drafted? Her weak brained excuse is just something to grab onto to hide the eleventh hour blackmail that just took place.The blackmailers didn't want to play their hand until they had to and they did it last night. When the bill passed both houses, they had to do it. Another possibility is the the blackmailers deliberately waited to convey the threat, knowing that a veto would improve their chances that the law would die. They scared the hell out of her and she rolled over. There is no justification behind her argument that the secretary of state decision is final, since it clearly can be challenged if the decision is arbitrary, capricious or unreasonable. It is just something to throw out there to try to keep the natives from revolting./p>

I was surprised at her statement last Friday that she might veto this bill, so the actual veto wasn’t such a surprise. Last night I discussed the issue with a fairly savvy lawyer who said the way the law was written, she probably did the right thing.

Remember: this law left it to the Secretary of State to be the sole arbiter on eligibility, Remember also: Soros has funded a project to install (Soros friendly) Secretaries of State throughout the US. So, were a SoS so inclined s/he could eliminate candidates at will, with potentially dire consequences, rather than those intended by the bill’s authors).

This lawyer suggested instead that the electors (who we are actually voting for) should bear responsibility to vet candidates according to an established procedure before the electors are allowed on the ballot. Those electors would have to certify the eligibility of the candidate for whom they might ultimately cast their electoral votes. In the least populated states, that would be 3R an 3D electors who would have to vet and certify the candidates’ eligiility. They could then submit to the SoS who would verify that the information was properly obtained/vetted by the respective teams of electors. Assuming that is done properly, the electors for the candidate are then put on the respective states’ ballots.

IIRC , the legislation that she vetoed was amended to give Obama a pass on the natural born citizen question.
