why?
STUPIDITY! Just read those words. "JUDGE THE QUALIFICATIONS!" The governor does not want the SOS to JUDGE THE QUALIFICATIONS OF ALL CANDIDATES!
Have another glass of Obama Fool-Aid, it's tasty!
I don’t know the details of what happened in Arizona but to take the political element out of it, uniform standards would be needed for LFBC’s in all 57 states and the LFBC’s would have to be delivered in an official manner along with an unbroken chain of custody to guard against interception.
She’s toast from any higher office.
She must have found some of Napolitano’s Vitamin Stupid in
the back of the medicine cabinet and taken it by mistake.
The requirement is natural born citizen. That is what they should have to prove to cover that requirement. Nothing more, nothing less.
What a disgrace. I thought we had at least ONE Republican with a spine. Obviously I was wrong. Brewer is a limp-wristed RINO sell-out just like the rest.
What the HELL is she thinking????
What happened? Why did she do this?
Does Obama have secret files on everyone, or what is going on?
She should have signed the bill and changes could have been made later with a new bill if there were any problems. Now she is part of the problem instead of the solution.
A useless law is no better than no law at all. If you don't have to prove NBC (defined as born on U.S. soil, by 2 citizen parents) then what good is it?
The long form actual birth certificate has this information. In most cases this would be the only document required.
If it shows foreign born parents, for instance, you would have to provide other documentation such as naturalization records.
This is not hard. Not complicated. Anything less should be vetoed.
If you do not have documentation that PROVES beyond a reasonable doubt that you are a “Natural Born Citizen” the you can't be on the ballot. SORRY. Not everyone can be president. We don't have any standards, (Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter) but we do have requirements. Article II, Section 1, Clause 5.
If you were born in the woods and no one saw it, did it really happen? Legally, no it didn't. The problem here is that you can't PROVE it. No we can't take your mommy's or granny's word for it. You are just out of luck.
Let's not lower the standard to include baptism certificates, circumcision papers, or NRA membership cards. If you don't have a bona fide long form birth certificate, you can sue, to try to get on the ballot.
How often would that come up? NOT VERY OFTEN. Why even try to cover every conceivable possibility. It is not possible, and only weakens the spirit of the law.
An American Indians you say. Eskimos you say. Cajun bayou births you say. FLDS Church farm births you say, Randy Weaver Idaho separatist types you say.
SORRY. Maybe you should take steps to legally register your children's’ births if you aren't doing so already. Living a separatist type lifestyle has some consequences. You are the exception. Why should we water down or ruin a good law to accommodate every situation that likely will never come up. If it does, it's up to those people to deal with it at that time.
Jan Brewer proved herself a worthless RINO turd.
Arizonans...start the recall drive against her immediately!
