Arizona First To Pass 'Birther' Bill

Another milestone for the state of Arizona: Birther bill passes in Arizona legislature.

Both the Arizona House and Senate yesterday passed a bill requiring U.S. presidential candidates to prove their citizenship in order to get on the state ballot, making the Arizona legislature the first in the nation to approve "birther" legislation.
repugican gov. Jan Brewer has five days to either sign the bill, veto it, or do nothing and allow it to become law.
If the bill becomes law, presidential and vice presidential candidates would have to show the Arizona secretary of state proof that they are natural-born citizens. This could be either a long-form birth certificate or at least two other forms of accepted proof, such as an early baptismal certificate, circumcision certificate or hospital birth record.
If the Arizona secretary of state doesn't think a candidate has provided sufficient proof, they can keep the candidate off the state's ballot or set up a committee to determine whether the documents of proof provided meet the requirements.

Thirteen other states are considering similar bills. The ultimate goal, of course, is to have a presidential election in which the only candidate is a repugican.
