Lawmakers in Arizona have proposed a law that would require state officials to begin independently verifying the accuracy of newly required documents affirming the constitutional eligibility of any candidate for the U.S. presidency.
"Certainly, there has been controversy over President Obama and his birth certificate, where he was born, etc.," state Sen. Sylvia Allen, R-Snowflake, told the Arizona Capitol Times. "It just makes sense and will stop any controversy in the future to just show you are a natural born citizen."
She is one of about three dozen lawmakers to sign on as co-sponsors.
The plan would accomplish essentially the same thing as that proposed by Rep. Bill Posey, R-Fla., on the federal level.
The provisions of Posey's H.R. 1503 are straightforward: "To amend the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to require the principal campaign committee of a candidate for election to the office of President to include with the committee's statement of organization a copy of the candidate's birth certificate, together with such other documentation as may be necessary to establish that the candidate meets the qualifications for eligibility to the Office of President under the Constitution."

It’s about freakin time
bump
is this real?
That will stop Obama from running in 12. Darn, he would of been so easy to beat.
The dog ate his homework, or rather he had it all fed to the dog.
And how do these lawmakers define a “natural born” citizen?
In my opinion Obama is not one by his own admission being that his father was not a American citizen at all.
But this still does help move the issue forward if passed.
Hopefully this legislation will force the Courts to rule on the ‘natural born’ clause.
Guess they found out the water aint that cold.The water was warm 18 months ago. wonder what took them so long.Political wind shift ahead?
We have a winner! Thanks for posting that.It needs to happen.
A day late and a BHO short.
I am glad people still have guts and this is AZ. The same AZ where Juan McCain was lying tonight (?) and covering up for Obama on this issue.
Brother you got that right.
No problem, let them bring on Shrillary. Sarah vs. Her Thighness, an no-brainer!
AWESOME!!!
All that needed is ons state to require verification.
Now lets see how Obama tries to explain why he can’t run in such a state!
I hope his own party jumps on the BC bandwagon and if they los the House and Senate, they just might. Maybe they will throw Obozo under the bus before 2012.
bfl
He would not be easy to beat! They ran McRino last time and I would not support Romney.
