Arizona To Require Obama To Show His Birth Certificate To Appear On 2012 Ballot*

PHOENIX -- The Arizona House on Monday voted for a provision that would require President Barack Obama to show his birth certificate if he hopes to be on the state's ballot when he runs for reelection.

The House voted 31-22 to add the provision to a separate bill. The measure still faces a formal vote.

It would require U.S. presidential candidates who want to appear on the ballot in Arizona to submit documents proving they meet the constitutional requirements to be president.

Phoenix Democratic Rep. Kyrsten Sinema said the bill is one of several measures that are making Arizona "the laughing stock of the nation."

Mesa Republican Rep. Cecil Ash said he has no reason to doubt Obama's citizenship but supports the measure because it could help end doubt.

Thought I would push this to the top for the day crowd while on my school break. I posted it late last night and don't believe it is any kind of a repost.

I didnt know Arizona was the laughing stock of the nation. In fact, the only thing I can seem to find myself laughing at them about is that they keep electing McCain as a senator, but other than that, I dont hear anyone walking down the street saying "Oh, those silly 'zonians, when will they learn?!" 8)
