Obama has released his Hawaii birth certificate proving he's a "natural-born citizen" qualified to be president.

If that is the case, why all the fuss AP?

It is amazing that 29 are uninterested in proof that a candidate is eligible to run.

[I can’t believe that the Election Commission does not have a manadatory provision requiring presidential candidates to show proof of citizenship when they register to run for the presidency.]

Opponents say it's a waste of time that makes Arizona mocked by the rest of the country. Obama has released his Hawaii birth certificate proving he's a "natural-born citizen" qualified to be president.

They desperately want this to be about Obama alone.

Resident Obama claims his dad was Barak Sr of Kenya, the COLB supports his Paternal claim, as do the two newspaper birth announcements.

How about we just except them as true and valid. They all indicate Jr is Not a Natural Born Citizen

Go AZ. Get the law passed. Hopefully other states will follow.

What if the LF/BC indicates that he’s WHITE. Then he’s not the first black president. And we all know how important it is that HE was the first black president, a la his census form which he marked that he’s black, not bi-racial.

They desperately want the NBC requirement to be dumbed down to Jus Soli only.

Hawaiian birth certificates don't indicate the race of the child.

You must wonder in what kind of world would this be controversial?

Senate is 18 R’s and 12 d’s, and current Gov, Jan Brewer, is an ‘R.

If signed into law, how will Obama explain he doesn’t want to Run in AZ?

AZ is the New Old Texas.

We already know Obama is not a natural born US citizen if his dad is BHO Sr, like you say.

But everything we’ve been given as evidence is fraudulent, and it took people inside and outside the government to make that fraud possible. If our system doesn’t work at catching and stopping this kind of fraud then the system needs to be fixed just as much as we need to get rid of the fraud the system put into office.

The country is in deep, deep trouble if we can’t find a way to keep our government, media, and law enforcement honest. That’s the biggest concern I have.

Go for it AZ GOP. This should pass the Senate and Brewer needs to sign it. I am really proud of AZ. I hope another state will follow their lead.

Exactly. Also, there are clearly a significant number of people who could care less where someone is from as long as they promise them freebies or promise to ‘punish’ those they are envious of.

Maybe this isn’t about Obama. Maybe it’s about the invasion from the south.

An interesting take here at Ballot Access News. The way the Bill is written could let Obama off the hook.

Arizona House Passes Presidential Elector/Presidential Qualifications Bill

April 21st, 2010

On April 21, the Arizona House passed SB 1024 by the narrow margin of 31-29. Every member of the House cast a vote. This is the bill which started out in the Senate as a bill to remove the names of presidential electors from the November ballot. Earlier this week, the bill was amended in the House to add on a provision that presidential nominees of established political parties must attach documents proving that they meet the Constitutional qualifications.

The bill says such documents are due 10 days after the national parties certify the names of the presidential nominees. But because the 2012 Democratic convention will not choose a presidential nominee until September 3, and because the federal government now requires states to mail foreign absentee ballots at least 45 days before the general election, the bill’s provisions cannot be enforced. The bill says presidential nominees who don’t submit satisfactory documents must be left off the ballot. But the ballots, at least in 2012, will already have been printed before the documents are due. The bill is now getting press attention; see this story.

The bill now returns to the Senate, to see if the Senate will accept the presidential qualifications amendment.

Arizona’s been getting a little uppity lately, what with constitutional carry, immigration enforcement and now this. I expect they will b*slapped by the Feds shortly to keep the other states from getting any ideas.

I wouldn’t be at all surprised but Obama can be beaten at the ballot box. The system still needs fixing.
