Racist b**tards!
CORRECTION, vote was 20-9 with 1 not voting
Can he be deported if he fails to comply?
hughly unlikey, I don’t even think the current Congress will have the spines to remove him when he fails to produce the document to back his oh, so fictional story of his nativity location, i.e., Kapi’olani Hosp. Or was it Queen’s. Oh Heck, who can keep up. He’s claimed them both, now that is a miracle birth if I ever heard one.
This could get interesting. My bet is that O will keep himself off the ballot which will look mighty suspicious.
I guess when you can claim the god-like attribute of omnipresence, that's plausible.
I read the legislation that came out of the Senate & it is a smart bill. Worded very well as to not fold under scrutiny.
Five will get you ten that Barry submits the COLB and tries to gut it out.
Have several hundred SEIU owned Judges stopped this yet?
Count on the the stopping this as well.

Arizona Senate approves 'birther' billPHOENIX - The Arizona Senate has approved a revised bill requiring presidential candidates to prove they are U.S. citizens eligible to run for the office.
The bill approved Wednesday gives candidates additional ways to prove they meet the constitutional requirements to be president.
It was prompted by the ongoing claim by some that there is no proof President Barack Obama was born in the United States and is therefore ineligible to be president.
Democrats argued the bill exceeds the state's authority and say state officials are not fully qualified to determine the validity of a candidate's documents.
Republicans argue the U.S. Constitution gives state legislatures the right to determine how federal elections are conducted.
The bill now goes to the House for a final vote.
Drudge probably monitors O.R.Y.R. but doesn't want to link directly to the site. So, he waits to see when another source picks it up.
YAYYYY!!!!! I didn’t think they were gonna do it!

SUBJECT: Strike everything amendment to H.B. 2177, relating to presidential candidates; qualifications; affidavit
________________________________________________________________________
Purpose
Requires a presidential candidate that is for running for office to prove their eligibility to run and hold office by providing documentation that proves citizenship, age and if the candidate meets residency requirements.
Background
Article II, Section I of the Constitution of the United States, states that no person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty-five years, and been fourteen years a resident within the United States.
Section 16-226 of Arizona Revised Statute defines nonpartisan elections as an election that is held by a special district and that is not held concurrently with the general election.
At a primary election, each political party entitled and intending to make nominations for the ensuing general or special election is required to, if it desires to have the names of its candidates printed on the official ballot at the general or special election, nominate its candidates for all elective, senatorial, congressional, state, judicial, county and precinct offices to be filled at the election (A.R.S. § 16-301). A nomination petition as defined in section 16-314 means the form or forms used for obtaining the required number of signatures of qualified electors, which is circulated by or on behalf of the person wishing to become a candidate for a political office.
There is no anticipated fiscal impact to the state General Fund associated with this legislation.
Provisions
1. Requires any person submitting a nomination paper for the purposes of being a candidate in a primary or nonpartisan election to include in the affidavit, reference to and attachment of all documents necessary to show that the person will be qualified at the time of the election to hold the office the person seeks.
2. Prohibits the filing officer to accept the nomination paper of a candidate if the person does not provide the affidavit and attachments required in this for proving eligibility to hold office.
3. Requires a national political party committee for a presidential candidate for a party that is entitled to continued representation on the ballot to provide to the Secretary of State, written notice of that political party’s nomination of its candidates for president and vice-president.
4. Requires a national political party committee to submit an affidavit of the presidential candidate in which the presidential candidate states the candidate’s citizenship and age and is required to attach this affidavit to the affidavit documents that prove the candidate’s age, citizenship and if the candidate has been a U.S. resident for fourteen years.
5. Requires the affidavit of the presidential candidate include references to and attachment of the following, which shall be sworn to under penalty of perjury:
a) a sworn statement or form that identifies the presidential candidate’s places of residence in the U.S. for the preceding fourteen years; and
b) a certified birth certificate that includes:
i. the date and place of birth,
ii. the names of the hospital and the attending physician, and
iii. signatures of any witnesses in attendance if applicable.
6. Prohibits the Secretary of State from placing a presidential candidate’s name on the ballot in this state if the candidate or the national political party committee fails to submit and swear to the documents listed in this section.
7. Prohibits the Secretary of State from placing a presidential candidate’s name on the ballot in this state if the Secretary of State believes that the proof of the documents submitted and sworn to do not meet the citizenship, age and residency requirements.
8. Permits a member of the House of Representatives, a member of the Senate or any other citizen of this state to initiate an action to enforce this section.
9. Makes conforming changes.

It should pass the House easily. LoL! Hey Obama go play golf.
Yes. Question is, will the Governor sign it after being paid a visit!?!?
“The bill approved Wednesday gives candidates additional ways to prove they meet the constitutional requirements to be president”.
when obama refused to give his long form to the Hawaiian election office, he was able to “override” them with a private meeting with democratic leadership officals in Hawaii.
It appears obama is still one step ahead of Arizona, the current short form is now the new legal document. He will submit it and demand that they accept it.
The last I looked, this law gave any citizen the power in AZ the ability to challenge Obama’s documentation if Obama showed up with an abstract COLB.
"I got a phone call from Lyle Rowland, sponsor of the presidential eligibility certification bill in Missouri.The bill finally passed the committees and is going to a full vote of the house this week or next week. Demand that your state representatives and senators vote for the bill.I got a phone call from Leo Berman, Texas state senator, sponsor of the presidential eligibility certification bill in TX. Mr. Berman is extremely upset with members of the committee refusing to vote on the bill. They just seat on it, while they know that majority of of the state representatives and senators are willing to vote for it. Call each and every committee member and demand scheduling of the bill for vote tomorrow, immediate passing of the bill. Demand answers, whether committee members received some consideration or were intimidated into not bringing thebill to a vote. Call public integrity of unit of the office of the TX Attorney General Greg Abbott and demand immediate investigation, whether committee members received any considaration or were intimidated into not bringing this bill to a vote.
We need the same investigation in each state.
As the sessions are ending we need all the bill out of committees as original bills or striker bills this week or next week."
I don’t see why not. I’d tell “the visitors” to piss up a rope. And there is no love loss between Obama and Brewer; Obama has sued Arizona.
