Which is why I would think even if this law passes it will be tossed as it should. everynametaken Send a noteboard - 16/04/2011 11:44:50 PM
If each state passes such a law, would every candidate then be required to show verification of his nationality at the federal level and then drive around with his papers and let each individual state authenticate them as well? Seems pointlessly ridiculous.


States do not control eligibility for national elections. I thought it was the Federal Election Commission that viewed his Certificate of Live Birth but maybe it is Congress as you suggest. I can't remember for sure. But, point being that Federal law already mandates sufficient proof making Arizona's law irrelevant.

Surprisingly, many politicians are mean-spirited Isaac - 16/04/2011 02:31:37 AM 816 Views
if any of those examples were legislated by a state house, you'd have a stronger argument.... moondog - 16/04/2011 07:23:49 AM 766 Views
I believe I gave you state examples already Isaac - 16/04/2011 01:55:37 PM 704 Views
