Senate approves “birther” bill in Arizona

If you want Arizona’s electoral votes, or want to run for president, you have to provide proof of citizenship. Nothing wrong with that. If you can’t produce, you don’t get the electoral votes and that could cause you to lose the election. Don’t be silly. Of course the Democrats are on the wrong side of this. Would you expect anything but?

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.

As usual, Democrats are wrong. The state has every authority to do so. They are under the false assumption that the federal government is the big cheese. Clearly they have no understanding of the constitution. It is the states that grant rights to the federal government, not the other way around. Look it up.

Democrats by and large are statists. 180 degree’s opposite the constitution. They believe in federal control over pretty much everything. No, I’m not name-calling, I’m just telling it to you straight and that’s it.
