Arizona Legislators Push Bill to Require Presidential Candidates to Prove Eligibility

The courts won’t listen, the media won’t listen, now maybe the presidential candidates will listen…

Eight Arizona legislators have introduced SB 1158, to require presidential candidates at the general election to submit “documents that prove that the candidate is a natural born citizen.†Since “natural born citizen†is not defined in the bill, nor in the U.S. Constitution, one wonders which documents John McCain would have been required to produce in 2008, if this bill had been law. He was born either in Panama or in the Canal Zone.

…just wondering if they will require a copy of the original birth certificate, which could have been problematic for both John McCain (born in Panama) and Barack Obama (never showed an original birth certificate, who knows where he was really born).
