I think the number of states that have passed laws requiring all candidates to furnish copies of their birth certificates is up to 12 or 14 now. Posted: Monday, February 14, 2011 4:02 pm On a 5-3 vote Monday, the Senate Judiciary Committee defeated SB 1526 which would let Arizona impose its own requirements on what someone needs to prove before being on the ballot in the state. Three Republicans voted with the two Democrats on the panel to kill the plan offered by Sen. Ron Gould, R-Lake Havasu City. Virtually identical legislation was introduced in the House in the form of HB 2544. But that measure has never gotten a hearing. http://www.eastvalleytribune.com/arizona/article_3b599e10-388e-11e0-9ea6-001cc4c03286.html TITLE: presidential candidates; affidavit of qualifications HOUSE FIRST READ: 02/14/11 COMMITTEES: ASSIGNED COMMITTEES ACTION 02/14/11 JUD 02/14/11 RULES HOUSE SECOND READ: 02/15/11 http://www.azleg.gov//FormatDocument.asp?inDoc=/legtext/50leg/1r/bills/hb2544o.asp&Session_ID=102 SPONSORS: GOULD P TITLE: affidavit of qualifications; presidential candidates SENATE FIRST READ: 02/01/11 SENATE SECOND READ: 02/02/11 COMMITTEES: ASSIGNED COMMITTEES ACTION Vote Detail 02/02/11 JUD 02/14/11 (3-5-0-0) FAILED 02/02/11 RULES http://www.azleg.gov//FormatDocument.asp?inDoc=/legtext/50leg/1r/bills/sb1526o.asp&Session_ID=102 ”The bill has undergone some change since it was originally introduced. We have a substitute that’s drawn up, but I’ll just tell you basically, as originally introduced, the bill would require that a presidential or vice presidential candidate submit an affidavit showing that he or she meets the requirements of natural-born citizenship, age and residency – 14 years residency in the United States….. “The bill also, as to the affidavit, originally included some language…that would ask that the candidate swear to the fact that he or she had never held dual citizenship or multiple citizenship and that the candidate had only had allegiance to the United States of America…. “Now, that has changed with the substitute…..Issues have been raised. A lot of people are saying it’s a political bill. So in order to allay concerns about the bill’s potential political nature, I have proposed a substitute, which would move the effective date of this bill to July 1 of 2013. “And that makes it clear that President Obama would not be subject to the requirements of the bill. Yet we would still be able to get into law some definite means of enforcing the Article 2 Section 1 requirement. “The substitute would also remove the dual citizenship issue, multiple citizenship….” http://blogs.ajc.com/political-insider-jim-galloway/2011/03/12/mark-hatfield-birth-certificate-bill-would-no-longer-apply-to-barack-obama/ I dont believe a single state has passed any laws regarding this issue yet, pops.
