Has anyone seen the text of the law?
A proper law, if well written, would be neutral and apply to all public offices in the State of Arizona (or any other state).
Ideally, it would require that a candidate submit as part of the normally required paperwork to appear on the ballot one of the following sets of documents:
1. A certified copy of a birth certificate issued by a State, Federal District, Incorporated or Inincorporated Territory, or other entity of the United States showing:
Name at birth
Date of birth
Time of birth
Place of birth
Names of parents
2. A certified copy of a birth certificate issued by a foreign government or entity with the information required in option one, combined with a report of a US citizen born abroad issued by a US Consul and such other documentation issued at the time of birth as provided by the Congress regarding a birth of an American citizen outside the United States.
3. A certified copy of a birth certificate issued by the Territory of American Samoa with the information required in option one, combined with a certificate of naturalization issued as provided by the Congress for a naturalized citizen from American Samoa.
4. A certified copy of a birth certificate issued by a foreign government or entity with the information required in option one, combined with a certificate of naturalization issued as provided by the Congress for a naturalized citizen.
It sounds like we better get you in touch with those legislators then... :-)
No, the bill hasn't even been written yet.
Such a law should also clearly provide that any candidate who fails to provide absolute and unambiguous proof of NBC shall not be listed on the ballot for either President or VP and that even if elected (through printing error or write-in votes) shall not receive any electors;
and that any candidate which provides false, forged, or otherwise tampered with documents, false testimony, or any other false evidence shall be guilty of a felony offense, penalty of which will be no less than 20 years at hard labor, and prima fascia evidence of treason;
and that electors representing the State shall not cast any vote for such disqualified candidate;
and elector casting such vote shall be guilty of a felony offense, penalty of which will be no less than 20 years at hard labor, and prima fascia evidence of treason.
The law should also contain a definition of Natural Born Citizen as: one who has never owed allegiance to any other country and was born in the United States and whose birth mother is a US citizen and whose birth father is a US citizen;
and that all submitted evidence of proof is a public record open for examination and challenge by any citizen;
and that every citizen, in their own behalf, or any government agency on the state’s behalf, has standing to bring suit to force production of said proof if said proof has been withheld from the public.
