PHOENIX -- The Arizona House approved a bill Wednesday that would require presidential candidates to show his or her birth certificate in order to be on the state's ballot.
The House approved the measure on a 31-29 vote after four Republicans joined all of the Democrats in opposing it. The measure still faces a Senate vote.
It would require U.S. presidential candidates who want to appear on the Arizona ballot to submit documents proving they meet the constitutional requirements to be president.
So-called "birthers" have contended since the 2008 presidential campaign that President Obama was born abroad, even after his official Hawaii birth certificate was made public along with birth notices that two Honolulu newspapers
published in August 1961.
The Constitution says a person must be a "natural-born citizen" to be eligible for the presidency. Skeptics suggest Obama's Hawaiian birth certificate is fake and say he was actually born in Kenya, his father's homeland.
Supporters of the Arizona measure say it would help settle the controversy.
"I support this measure in order to remove this as any type of issue in the future," said Rep. Cecil Ash, R-Mesa.
Opponents say it's a waste of time that makes Arizona mocked by the rest of the country.
"I am ashamed that this is even a topic of discussion," said Rep. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Phoenix.
The measure would require the secretary of state to review candidates' documents and withhold a candidate from the ballot if he has "reasonable cause" to believe ineligibility.
Courts have rebuffed lawsuits challenging Obama's eligibility to be president, but the issue hasn't gone away.

Good way to put MOS.

LOL Coach - are you officially a birther now?
Please don't be one of those ppl who doesn't believe it - but posts it nonstop. Just admit you believe it. I think there are a lot of legit Qs about it myself. I think it'll be like the 2004 OHIO ballots that were never counted - put off long enough that it won't matter.
Still, are you a birther?

Good law

Hey Rob, it was never proven and I've never believed him in the first place. Two requirements for being president is to be a natural born in the US and to prove it. He hasn't done either. And don't put that BS document from Hawaii up, that's not proof. There's been a lot of shit he hasn't proven.

If he wasn't naturally born. The Clinton Machine would have uncovered this during the primaries...Get over it.

In other news, Hawaii is trying to pass a law that will allow them to ignore requests for Obama's birth certificate.

if he technically was born somewhere else...besides the technicality of the 'rules' aspect, WHAT THE FUCK DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?????

This shit is just stupid! Why don't we waste more of our money and not focus on important issues. And NO abortion is not one of those issues, and neither is gay marriage. >:(

McCain was born in fucking Panama anyways, seriously what the fuck does this crap even matter one bit.
nothing but a bunch of bitter, desperate conservatives grasping at straws out of frustration haha.

That's fucking bullshit and you know it. If the Clinton Machine can't find it, it doesn't exist. The don't accept crap unless it's true. Hillary would have killed a village of Orphans for proof.

I don't think this issue helps our cause. There are other far more incriminating and important things that is bringing him down and that conservatives can focus on. Republicans are gaining momentum and 2012 is looking good. Maybe along the scale of 1994.
