Arizona Senate passes Obama birther bill after boost from Donald Trump
Biz Journals ^ | 04/13/2011 | Mike Sunnucks

The Arizona Senate approved the so-called ‘birther’ bill requiring 2012 presidential candidates to prove they were born in the U.S. and are thus eligible to run for president.

The measure, House Bill 2177, is aimed at President Barack Obama and those on the political right who want him to produce a birth certificate proving he was born in Hawaii and not Kenya, where his father if from.

The Arizona Legislature passed the bill 20-8 on a party-line vote in the State Senate with Republicans backing and Democrats opposing.

The measure includes some changes that allow for other documents beside birth certificates to be produced by presidential contenders. It now goes back to the Arizona House of Representatives for another vote. The House previously approved the birther bill without new Senate changes.

I got to ask why did the Az Senate change any wording? Now it has to go back to the house!

“...other documents to be produced in place....”

“I’m sure that Rats will challenge the requirement in court, but that kinda tips their hand. Why oppose such a measure?”

That’s exactly the point. If even one state has a law like this in effect, it forces the issue. Either way, if he and the Dems challenge or not, there is the gigantic question of why, and he’s toast.

A presidential contender (with legal standing) needs to sue over the fact that the president’s father, BHO Sr, was not a US citizen at the time of his birth.

Game over.

One mistake on that forgery and the jig is up, though.

And, there is no way to fit a non-existant LFBC’s serial number between others born at the same time.

49 states? I thought 56 more states? There are 57 states like Heinz 57 has varieties.

Obama said there are 57 states and ALL of TV including FOX says he is a genius and a god. If Obama says it is 57 then it is 57.

ALL of TV thinks he is God.

Yes.

The U.S. mint employs some VERY talented engravers. I;m sure one of them can help out with the effort — and after his work is complete, well, let’s just say: accidents happen...

Sounds like that is just what the Az Senate just did! I hope the Az house changes it!

I would think the political left would want this cleared up too.

Yikes!

I read that info in the link at post 16.

I also don’t see how this law will have any teeth against Obammie’s COLB.

The person will probably be Trump and he will need to fast track it.

Nope. There is probably a grandfather clause in it. Or his current “Certificate of Live Birth” will be considered “adequate.”

The saving clause that renders the bill useless.

From the earlier reply link:

b) a certified birth certificate that includes:

i. the date and place of birth,

ii. the names of the hospital and the attending physician, and

iii. signatures of any witnesses in attendance if applicable.
