“An early baptismal or circumcision certificate.”???
What does that prove? He is not a mohammedan?
i think this is GREAT news... and if the bill is approved in AZ, then none of the other states’ bills would actually be necessary...
These are similar to the kind of documents that could be provided in lieu of a birth certificate to get a passport.
