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.
While they are at it, the states should impose an “excessive landing fee” on Air Force One. Equal to the budget deficit of the particular state..
FEE WAIVED UPON CERTIFIED COPY OF THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE! lol
Yeah sure.
If the Tea Party is as successful in November as everyone suspects they’ll be. Coupled with the growing number of National and State Politicians who are openly addressing this issue.
Any 2012 campaign will have to prepare to address this issue. If they think even for a split second it won’t become huge during a reelection run, then they are truly detached from reality and smoking some serious crack.
We were fooled once, we won’t be fooled again.
This will become an issue whether Bambi-n-Co. want it to or not.
I’m all for going after Obama on all fronts all the time. This is to ensure Obama stays a 1 term “president”.
Hoo-ah!
STE=Q
I hope you are right,
every time I think we are accomplishing something,he wins,
Ping.
Ah - THIS thread, I thought you meant the other thread.
This is a good thread (too).
I somehow think there may be some surprises ahead too.
The weight of bad karma is sitting heavliy on 0devil’s shoulders.
heheheh
Ping the ‘list’!
STE=Q
Screaming and clawing with all four legs.
Or he has AIDS. I wouldn’t doubt it.
By 2012 I expect a dozen or more states will be asking Obama for his bonafides before placing him on the ballot. He’s a 1 termer and we all know it.
Null and void may have pinged everyone, already.
Ok, you asked for it...
Multiple states need to pass this.
An Incumbent President cannnot leave his name off the ballot in any of the 57 States. He'd have to cough it up, and own up.
Oh how they would fume and sputter, all to no avail.
It would be nice if the definition of NBC was clarified at the same time.
He might just pull out a BC with embarrassing info., that would not disqualify him.
What if his father is listed as Frank Marshall Davis, then he is a Natural Born Citizen.
