Connecticut, SB291 require “that candidates for president and vice-president provide their original birth certificates in order to be placed on the ballot.” That is needed to make sure the candidate “is a natural born United States citizen, prior to certifying that the candidate is qualified to appear on the ballot.”
Georgia, HB37 not only demands original birth-certificate documentation, it provides a procedure for and declares that citizens have “standing” to challenge the documentation.
Indiana, SB114 to require candidates to provide a certified copy of their birth certificate and include an affirmation they meet the Constitution’s requirements for the president.
Maine, LD34 require for all candidates for public office to provide proof of citizenship. It states, “A candidate for nomination by primary election shall show proof of United States citizenship in the form of a certified copy of the candidate’s birth certificate and the candidate’s driver’s license or other government-issued identification to the Secretary of State.”
Missouri , HB283, require that certification for candidates “shall include proof of identity and proof of United States citizenship.”
Nebraska, LB654, the certification for candidates would “include affidavits and supporting documentation.”
That paperwork would need to document they meet the “eligibility requirements of Article II, Section 1, of the Constitution of the United States.” It requires an affidavit that says: “I was born a citizen of the United States of America and was subject exclusively to the jurisdiction of the United States of America, owing allegiance to no other country at the time of my birth.”
Montana’s plan that candidates would have to document their eligibility and also provide for protection for state taxpayers to prevent them from being billed for “unnecessary expense and litigation” involving the failure of ‘federal election officials’ to do their duty.
Oklahoma, SB91 would require “proof of citizenship for certain candidates” and take the openness one step further, allowing the public access. It demands an “original” birth certificate issued by a state, the federal government, or documentation of a birth of a U.S. citizen abroad.
Pennsylvania working on a proposal that would demand documentation of constitutional eligibility making sure that presidential candidates meet the Constitution’s requirements for age, residency and being a “natural born citizen.”
Texas House Bill 295 A bill filed for the Texas Legislature that would require candidates’ documentation. It would add to the state election code the provision: “The secretary of state may not certify the name of a candidate for president or vice-president unless the candidate has presented the candidate’s original birth certificate indicating that the person is a natural-born United States citizen.”
Arizona Bill 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.
Some of the bills appear to be asking for a candidate to prove he is a “Citizen,” not the criterion for president. If any state has the courage to quote the definition of natural born Citizen, “Born on the soil of citizen parents,” they will earn our respect. Some do ask for long form birth certificates, but Obama can simply continue to ignore the request, since he has already told us he was not born a natural born Citizen. He was born a natural born subject of the British Commonwealth, to a father who never was a citizen, and never held allegiance to the U.S. - more likely to Kenya or the USSR, who funded his cousin Odinga's KGB training, and who named his son "Fidel." He said "I am a native born citizen of the U.S." That is the Title 8 definition of a 14th Amendment citizen, not a natural born citizen. Hidden behind his bold (audacious) declaration is, "Just try to declare me ineligible and see the blood baths in the cities." (James Carvill actually issued that warning before the election)
Many will have forgotten that the current Governor of Georgia, Nathan Deal, is governor because he did ask the White House for validation of Obama’s eligibility in 2009. They responded by examining Deal’s old tax returns, finding a questionable deduction allowed in previous years, and bringing ethics charges. Understanding the reality that Eric Holder would protect “His people” regardless of the laws at issue, and that Obama/Holder could assign a Patrick Fitzgerald enforcer to chase Deal for years, destroying his career and his financial viability, Nathan resigned. I'll bet he gets the bill right.
T Too many of the statements look like Arizona's, which is fraudulent, and amazingly, defines natural born Citizens as having at least one citizen parent, contradicting dozens of citations, never doubted in Supreme Court cases.
Our legislators and judges are afraid to truthfully discuss the facts clearly enunciated so many times, such as by Chief Justice Morrison Waite in Minor v. Happersett, 1874:
“The Constitution does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common-law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it wasnever doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners.”Someone whose regime can order us to buy government healthcare, order us not to produce our own energy so that we depend upon our enemies, will not hesititate to ignore a constitutional provision which he knows very well few people, and few lawyers, have every read carefully. Sadly, every Senator did know that he was ineligible when they all signed Pat Leahy's Senate Resolution 511 in April 2008 in which you will find the dialog, the basis for declaring John McCain, after 3 law suites and 5 or 6 hearings, eligible:
“My assumption and my understanding is that if you are born of American parents, you are naturally a natural-born American citizen,” Chertoff replied. “That is mine, too,” said Leahy."
They will all claim to have been protecting the public, all the while they are using their power to steal our productivity.
