The measure includes some changes that allow for other documents beside birth certificates to be produced by presidential contenders

No, it doesn't. It specifically requires a BC (with a place of birth). What it allows is the AZ SoS to disallow a candidate on the ballot if the SoS doesn't believe that the proof of the documents don't prove eligibility (ie he believes they're forged).

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?

So a Democratic Party hack can just say, "Sorry, the Republicans don't get on the ballot; I just don't like the look of their paperwork."
