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.

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

The critical part is that the bill allows eligibility to be challenged in court, which means that any relevant records could be subpoenaed. What is specifically asked for is irrelevant. The only thing that matters is that the people have a right to challenge eligibility. Because of the severability clause, that provision would remain in place even if the required documentation was found to be unconstitutional.

Which is why Brewer’s comments make absolutely no sense. What she gave is actually a reason to SIGN the bill, because it gives the people the ability to hold a Secretary of State accountable THROUGH a court - which is the proper avenue for deciding controversies of fact and law.
