Arizona Targets Obama Birther Controversy with New Law
Arizona Targets Obama Birther Controversy with New Law
Published March 15, 2012

PHOENIX – Arizona officials have jumped back into the debunked birther controversy over President Barack Obama's birth certificate and his eligibility to hold office, endorsing a proposal that requires presidential candidates to swear that they meet the qualifications of the nation's highest office.
A legislative committee on Wednesday endorsed the proposal and the Arizona secretary of state is expected in the coming days to call for candidates to complete a new form asking eligibility questions, including whether they are natural-born U.S. citizens.
There has been a lot of media attention devoted to this, so we wanted to make sure there is a standardized form.
- Matthew Roberts, a spokesman for Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett
The widely-disproved notion that the president was born abroad rather than in Hawaii, as state officials have repeatedly confirmed, comes up regularly in Arizona. Most recently, the man known as "America's Toughest Sheriff", Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, released a report from a volunteer posse challenging the authenticity of the president's birth certificate.

In the past, political parties drafted their own certification documents that Arizona officials say didn't consistently address the issue of qualifications.
"There has been a lot of media attention devoted to this, so we wanted to make sure there is a standardized form," said Matthew Roberts, a spokesman for Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett.
It's unclear whether other states require such forms. Attempts by The Associated Press to reach Democratic National Committee officials for comment were not immediately successful.
The controversy over the validity of Obama's birth certificate and eligibility — started by what critics call the "birther movement" — gained steam in Arizona last year when the Legislature passed a bill requiring presidential candidates to prove their citizenship before their names can appear on the state's ballot.
