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.”

Go to the link - she did leave comments attached with her vetoes.

No, the bill asked for a birth certificate.

Me too. After I heard that I was not so concerned about the bill.

From what I read a week ago it was watered down to the point of being able to produce an electric bill to be OK’d.

The bill is at http://www.azleg.gov//FormatDocument.asp?inDoc=/legtext/50leg/1r/bills/hb2177s.htm&Session_ID=102.

The bill's requirements are enough. If the Kenyan clown's campaign did show up with anything other than a long-form birth certificate, the resulting furor would end any chance for his re-election.

The governor did this out of spinelessness, not out of her feigned concern about making the Secretary of State too powerful or some such claptrap.
