3 more states, South Carolina, New Hampshire and Indiana have joined Arizona in proposing bills requiring proof of Article II Eligibility for POTUS. Does this mean this is no longer a crazy, fringe conspiracy theory movement?
Snippets from Washington Independent; ‘Birther’ Conspiracy Roils GOP Campaigns - State Legislators, Party Strategists Keep Anti-Obama Rumors Alive -
South Carolina-Bill 3389, freshman state Rep. Tommy Stringer has introduced legislation that would amend the state’s election code to make sure that “a candidate for President or Vice President of the United States may not have his name printed on a ballot in this State unless there is conclusive evidence that he is a natural born citizen of the United States.”…
New Hampshire’s House bill 1245, mandates that “the names of the candidates shall not appear on the ballot unless the secretary of state has received certified copies of the birth certificates of the candidates.”
Indiana’s Senate bill 82, grapples with the legal standing issue that has vexed “birthers,” granting the right to challenge qualifications to “a registered voter of the jurisdiction conducting the election.”… …more from the Obot’s HERE.
Arizona House bill 2441, titled: presidential candidates; proof of qualifications
…Within ten days after submittal of the names of the candidates, the national political party committee shall submit an affidavit of the presidential candidate in which the presidential candidate states the candidate’s citizenship and age and shall append to the affidavit documents that prove that the candidate is a natural born citizen, prove the candidate’s age and prove that the candidate meets the residency requirements for President of the United States as prescribed in article II, section 1, Constitution of the United States… …view entire Arizona bill HERE.
Other states are also joining the war to defend our constitution. According to the National Conference of State Legislatures; New York, Virginia, Georgia and other states are also working on the same type legislation. …more HERE.
Also, let us not forget the federal bill proposed by Bill Posey of Florida; H.R.1503 - Presidential Eligibility Act -
To amend the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to require the principal campaign committee of a candidate for election to the office of President to include with the committee’s statement of organization a copy of the candidate’s birth certificate, together with such other documentation as may be necessary to establish that the candidate meets the qualifications for eligibility to the Office of President under the Constitution…
…Congress finds that under - the Constitution of the United States, in order to be eligible to serve as President, an individual must be a natural born citizen of the United States who has attained the age of 35 years and has been a resident within the United States for at least 14 years. …view entire bill HERE.
Does this mean this is no longer crazy? No, it will no longer be crazy when a state PASSES, not proposes, a law to prove eligibility.
They may find an “excuse” for Obama to bow out (pun intended). In the meantime, write letters to your election boards or Secretary of State and state legislators. Let’s make this the rule in all 57 states.
BS.
If these states do not pass these bills, then the whole country is corrupt.
I want to hear the argument anyone would think that these bills are a bad idea.
It’s the reason why Obama is pushing so hard to get his socialized health care passed and every other communistic program he can. Obama knows he doesn’t have much time and wants his “legacy” before he’s out of office at the end of 2012.
The messiah ain’t gonna like this.
I doubt the country will be here in 2012.
Impeach Obama !
If a non-citizen from Nicaragua can get on multiple states’ ballots, we have a problem.
I think all it will take is one. If one state passes this, and he fails to certify, he's busted.
Including Guam?
Sweet.

Yes, but I like the the insurance we get in numbers. The laws will vary some from state to state. I like the options available if there is even the slightest possibility if the paper work is not up to snuff. I want the states to put the documents out in the open for the public to be scrutinize when they get them.
They'll just huff and puff, emote and cry "RACISM" or "intimidation" as they do when one suggests that IDs be required at polling stations.
I agree. He’s already dropped some hints about being a one termer. He’ll come up wth some excuse like his kids want to move back, or he’s tired of his family being criticized, something. He can’t and won’t ever release all of his records, especially his medical records.
Why? Does he have 'the slims'?
Yes, and we will all know what the real reason will be. :-)
He wont run?
