Arizona Senate passes Obama birther bill after boost from Donald Trump

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.

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.

While you are probably correct as a legal matter, there is no way on God's green earth that a black president will be removed from the ballot on what the media will spin as a technicality based on differing definitions over "natural born". And Republicans (most of them, anyway) would pass whatever bill was necessary to make sure that such a "disagreement" would never affect his place on the upcoming ballot.

Don't get me wrong: this isn't about the legality of the situation, nor the constitutional arguments: just the politics. The media would line up an endless parade of academic constitutional lawyers swearing that "natural born" meant whatever Obama needs it to mean.

If this issue gets legs, it is the coverup that will bring him (and many in the media, the Republican party, and the entire Democratic establishment) down.

Is it just me, or does this prevent Obama from running in 2012 in Arizona based upon what he has thus far provided?

[Nateman]

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

Find someone of the right age who is dead and then substitute.

If Obama sends his COLB with all its craziness on it, like father’s race African (yeah, in 1961? Riiiight), can someone protest that this is not acceptable?

[LyinLibs]

What the hell is an “EARLY CENSUS RECORD?”

I’d bet Oherpes has 99 of those under his pillow.

[NeverEVERKerry]

So Obama can use these two?

32(a) EARLY BAPTISMAL OR CIRCUMCISION CERTIFICATE.
33 (b) HOSPITAL BIRTH RECORD.

What is an early baptismal certificate? I read today that he was baptized sometime after he joined that trinity church.

[Fee]

Problem is HI just changed their law, only COLB will be made available, long BC is no longer available for anyone to get. If true issue will end up in court as two state laws conflict.

[CriticalJ]

Republicans are awful at marketing.

This should be called the “Anti-Birther” Bill. In order to shut the birthers up, AZ is requiring proof of citizenship.

Instead, it looks like an anti-Obama bill.

“An early baptismal or circumcision certificate.”???
What does that prove? He is not a mohammedan?

[Vendome]

hopefully the Okies will approve theirs as well.

[LyinLibs]

What about 37(e) BUBBLE GUM WRAPPER?

That’ll show the dirty commie.

[Genoa]

I think the first census for Barry was the one in 1970.

[MrB]

Very well could be EXACTLY why they changed their law - they read HB2177.

[LyinLibs]

Hawaii can’t cover for the Malignant Moslem.

The jig is up.

[Genoa]

All they had to do was lie to the census taker in 1970 and say he was born in the U.S.

[EyeGuy]

“Why oppose such a measure?”

####

Two part answer:

a) Because thir diseased agenda relies on fraud, obfuscation and subterfuge.

b) Their allies in the Communist Media, not only refuse to point out tht simple fact, but actually are complicit in the criminality.

[maine-iac7]

We need to get a bunch of other states to pass theirs - I think there @ 13 now considering it?

We need safety numbers - the thugs will go after one state - but if there's 10 or more, they’d have a really hard time to reverse it.

[cinciella]

I would think all the southern border states (exception - CA) would LOVE to participate in this...

[LyinLibs]

The new law should say “If a long-form BC EXISTS, then it must be submitted....”

Instead of “If the dirty moslem usurper POSSESSES a long-form BC.....”

Why? Because the filthy communist can just say “I don’t possess one.... it’s somewhere in a filing cabinet in some Hawaii statehouse building.”

[cinciella]

Thankfully it looks like only about 19% of the populace (according to the latest poll) agrees. Unfortunately the media is a lost cause.
