Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer vetoed a bill Monday that would have required presidential candidates to provide their birth certificates to appear on the ballot, and another that would have allowed guns to be carried on school grounds.

Wait, wut?
Eric “My People” Holder has his boot on her.
Who got to her?
Say what?!?!
I’m praying for strength ...
The sound of balls hitting the floor.
A terrible sound. Once they are gone ,Never to be regained.
Before you get your panties in a wad; she didn’t want the Sec of State to have all the power in deciding elections. Remember Soros?
Ok...she’s done...
I’d be interested to hear if she had any statement issued with the vetoes. Last I heard, the Birth Certificate bill was watered down to require a “Certificate of Live Birth”, and not a long form birth certificate. If that’s true, she did the right thing to veto it, and say “Send it back to me requiring a real birth certificate.”
and she just gave a dumb reason for the birth certificate issue....that was a no brainer as the Constitution demands it already. She is the idiot I always believed her to be...
“In addition, I never imagined being presented with a bill that could require candidates for President (sic) of the greatest and most powerful nation on earth to submit their “early baptismal or circumcision certificates” among other records to the Arizona Secretary of State. This is a bridge too far,” Brewer wrote.”
This is apples and oranges. WTH is going on with Brewer?
Excerpt from Tucson Sentinel:
“”As a former Secretary of State (sic), I do not support designating one person as the gatekeeper to the ballot for a candidate, which could lead to artibrary or politically-motivated decisions,” Brewer wrote in her veto message to House Speaker Kirk Adams.”
She vetoed that bill. What do you think of her reason - too much authority for the SofS?
Go to the link - she did leave comments attached with her vetoes.
And the better idea is what?
I want to vomit! Who would have thought that Jan Brewer was nothing but a weak Janet Napolitano wannabe. What the hell is wrong with this country?
On the other hand the folks behind the bills have a supermajority sufficient to pass the bills without her assent (or so I've heard on FR this very day).
This actually gives more power to the Sec’t of State as there has to be no actual proof offered of qualifications...exactly why people are disturbed over this situation with Obama.
