“Birther Bill” or “Born in the USA”


The Arizona Legislature has passed the nation’s first bill to require proof of citizenship by birth in the U.S. to get on the stat’s ballot in presidential elections.  That means that Arizona’s own John McCain wouldn’t be able to run for president since he was born before the Americas were even colonized.

Tea Party members say the bill is insufficient, since they believe that some U.S. birth documents are manufactured and imported from Kenya.

The Constitution does say that the president must have been born in the US, and in Arizona, they just want him or her to be able to prove it, especially if they look Mexican.
