When are these votes scheduled?

[rarestia]

Two questions:

1) Will it be in effect for the November elections?
2) Will any documentation submitted be accepted prima facie or will there be vetting of documentation submitted?

[House Atreides]

This is VERY GOOD NEWS. I understand that it needs to pass an additional vote in the Missouri House & then pass in the Senate before going on to the Governor.

This is COMMON SENSE legislation but you can expect the Democrats to be fighting this tooth & nail. If this becomes law in a battleground state such as Missouri, it is VERY BAD NEWS FOR THE DEMOCRATS.

Are the birth records required to have an official seal of the state or just copies of a certificate of birth?

The “Show Me State” is living up to its billing.

[Gay State Conservative]

Ten bucks says that this will be overturned by some Federal judge...very probably a Clinton or Osama Obama appointee.

Good. I hope that this becomes law in the “Show Me” state.

So, written in Crayons won’t cut it?

Well this bill isn't worth squat! As used in this subsection, "natural born citizen" means having been declared a national and citizen of the United States at birth under 8 U.S.C. Sections 1401 to 1409, as amended...

This is based on 8 U.S.C. which covers ALIENS AND NATIONALITY and is positive law, not natural law.

...or having been declared a national and citizen of the United States under federal law as it existed at the time of the nominee's birth.

They've got it all wrong there as well. A natural born citizen doesn't need to be "declared" to be a natural born citizen and only a positive law can "declare" something.

Has CAIR filed a suit yet?
