Arizona Senate approves 'birther' bill

PHOENIX - 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.

Earlier this year, ABC15.com asked two state senators to share their opinions on a now defeated "birthright" bill that would have stopped babies born to non-citizen parents from becoming U.S. citizens.

State Senator Ron Gould (R) of District 3 said hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants are crossing U.S. border to give birth, using their children as “anchorsâ€

State Senator Kyrsten Sinema (D) of District 15 said "our government codified its long-standing practice of granting citizenship to all born on our soil when the Fourteenth Amendment passed. Sinema said this bill violates the Fourteenth Amendment, and it violates the spirit of our founding fathers’ vision of what makes America the great nation that it is."

State Senator Kyrsten Sinema (D) of District 15 you ignorant, My dear.....
Our Founding Fathers? Their Vision? Say what? Jane/ Kyrsten you ignorant..
Arizona........... Americans........ what do we do with this piece of work? McCains Dishwasher. In Mexico. Dumb and Dumber sequel! Will it never end?

The 'birther' disqualification of Obama will never happen, even if 100% proof he was not born in the US.

I'm sure everyone realizes there are millions of illegal aliens now enjoying complete (dual) citizenship, with the full blessings of the United States government.

What would their legal status be if the US president were suddenly disqualified for being an illegal alien?

IMO, Obama will not be allowed to run for a second term and the Democrats as well as Republicans know it. He carries far too much liability, particularly for the Democrats. Both parties are culpable for allowing his nomination and subsequent election to bypass constitutional requirements. Additionally, the constitution is clear on the requirements for eligibility for POTUS. Obama doesn't pass muster. Their dirty little secret may have worked the first time but pandoras box is about to be opened.

Personally, I believe Alex Jones when he says that all presidents are propped up to the "saviour" then have political ruin heaped upon them afterwards.


Then, after the American sheeple "forget", they come out of hiding with a new book - just like Boosh!
