Missouri Republicans push birth certificate questions to oppose 'tyranny'

Fifteen Republican members of the Missouri General Assembly have signed on to a state constitutional amendment that appears aimed at advancing the claims of the fringe movement that doubts President Barack Obama's eligibility to serve as president.

The language is contained in a proposed "voter’s bill of rights," which would serve "as a defense against corruption, fraud, and tyranny."

The proposed amendment states:

For candidates who are required by the Constitution of the United States to be natural born citizens, the secretary of state shall request an official copy of the candidate’s birth certificate. Other certifications, such as a certificate of live birth, shall not be accepted. Should any candidate fail to provide an official birth certificate within thirty days of the request by the secretary of state, his or her name shall not be placed on the ballot.

The Birthers, as they're known, have focused on the State of Hawaii's refusal to release the original of Obama's birth certificate, as opposed to official copies; Hawaii state law bars the release of the original.

State Rep. Robert Cooper wasn't immediately available to discuss the bill, which has drawn criticism on local liberal blogs.

YES, Rule of Law is necessary for everyone. I guess in the worse of worse Biden is just fine.

Hawaii state law bars the release of the original.

Whaaatttt? That's absurd! I've seen original birth certificates, from Hawaii, posted.

IF they want to show how stupid the BIRTHERS are, then show the certificate. How hard is that??? The one shown proves NOTHING! BTW, Hawaii officials said a original was on file, they NEVER said it validiated his Hawaii birth. IF they had, this would be over.

Take the original, copy, and notarize it. What is so hard about this?

But instead he's spending millions on teams of lawyers to block all attempts at this. Why?

NO!! The President and his 10 lawyers that have earned 1 million so far, are the LAW!
