Born in the USA” Bill Takes Another Step Forward
Cole Karr, KMOX Capitol Bureau
JEFFERSON CITY, MO. (KMOX) – The so-called “Birther Bill” to require presidential nominees prove their citizenship to be on the Missouri ballot moves on one last time to the Senate.
If passed, presidential candidates would have to provide an official record of birth and citizenship when filing with the Missouri Secretary of State’s office.
The office would keep the document for public record. Senate Elections Committee Chairman Republican Kevin Engler says with only three weeks remaining, the bill may not be taken up for debate stating he would be very surprised if it did.
Republican Senator Luann Ridgeway supports the bill, and she is also unsure if the bill will make it.
”I completely understand the concerns of people who want to make sure that our Constitution is willing to be obeyed. Our president is supposed to be born in the United States. But, I just don’t know if there are enough people out there that are willing to stand up in opposition to it.”
Democratic Senator Robin Wright-Jones is upset over the so-called birther bill’s 4-to-1 passage out of a Senate committee.

That bill is BS!
The text... “Natural born citizen” means having been declared a national and citizen of the United States at birth or having been declared a national and United States citizen under federal law as it existed at the time of the nominee’s birth.
The State of Missouri can't define, or redefine in this instance, “natural born citizen”. Nor is a natural born citizen "declared". A natural born citizen simply is a natural born citizen.

And the only citizenship laws that the federal government can make are those pertaining to naturalization per Article I, Section 8, Clause 4.

The State of Missouri is trying to lie to it's own Citizens.

More evidence of how BS that bill is...

@SECOND REGULAR SESSION
[PERFECTED]
HOUSE BILL NO. 1046

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, 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.

8 USC governs Aliens and Naturalization and is exactly what is being spoken about in this article.

How can you support such a lie Jonah Vark?
