State Rep. Judy Burges has introduced legislation again in Arizona dubbed the ‘Birther Bill’ to require presidential candidates, such as President Obama, to show birth certificate to get on ballot.

Proof of Birth

Do you think presidential candidates should be required to provide a birth certificate to run for office?

An Arizona legislator has revived her effort to require presidential candidates to show their birth certificate if they want to get on the state’s ballot.

State Rep. Judy Burges submitted a new version of the “Birther Bill” on Tuesday, even though a similar bill failed to gain support last year.

This new legislation is extremely specific, seeming to target each of the issues “birthers” have continued to raise regarding President Obama.

Members of the fringe group who believe Obama is not eligible to be commander in chief have argued he was not born in Hawaii, has dual citizenship, or is simply not a “natural born citizen.”

Burges’ HB 2544 would address each of these concerns by requiring any and all candidates to provide “an original long-form birth certificate that includes the date and place of birth, the names of the hospital and the attending physician and signatures of the witnesses in attendance.”

“Birthers” have argued that despite the fact that the Certification of Live Birth the Obama campaign provided in 2008 is a legally recognized document, they want him to release his long-form certificate.

Candidates would also be required to provide “a sworn statement attesting that the candidate has not held dual or multiple citizenship and that the candidate’s allegiance is solely to the United States of America.”

Anyone looking to run for President must, according to Article II of the Constitution, be “a natural born citizen.”

 

It also requires that the person be 35, and must have lived in the United States for at least 14 years. Burges’ bill would require candidates to show they have resided in this country for that amount of time.

If the candidate, or the party under which he or she is running, fail to adhere to these rules, the bill states, “the secretary of state shall not place that presidential candidate’s name on the ballot in this state.”

Along with Burges, nearly 30 other representatives and senators – all Republicans – are listed as co-sponsors of HB 2544.

Similar legislation was introduced last year, and passed by a narrow margin in Arizona’s House of Representatives. It later died in the state Senate after failing to be brought up for a vote.

Democrats at the time dismissed the bill, with one representative fearing it made Arizona “the laughingstock of the nation.”

Attempts to create similar requirements in other states have been introduced in the past two years, but none of them passed, generally over concerns they would conflict with federal laws or the Constitution.
