Arizona Legislature Passes Bill on Birth Certificates for Presidential Nominees of Qualified Parties

On April 14, the Arizona House passed HB 2177 by a vote of 40-16. It requires the national committees of political parties to submit documents on presidential candidate eligibility, in order for that party’s presidential candidate to appear on the Arizona ballot. The bill had already passed the Senate, so it is on its way to the Governor, who is a Republican. Here is the text of the bill.

The national committee must furnish a long-form birth certificate, showing the name of the hospital in which the candidate was born. There are provisions for presidential candidates who do not have such a document, however. The bill does not impose any duties on independent presidential candidates, or write-in presidential candidates, or even the presidential nominees of parties that got on the ballot by petition that year. The national committees must also furnish documentation that its presidential nominee has lived in the United States for at least 14 years, another requirement contained in Article II of the Constitution.

The bill says nothing about vice-presidential nominees, but Arizona is one of two states that doesn’t print the names of vice-presidential nominees on the ballot anyway. The other such state is North Dakota. This year, the Arizona legislature did pass a bill to show the names of vice-presidential nominees on the general election ballot. It is HB 2335, and it passed on April 12. But despite the likelihood that future Arizona ballots will show the name of vice-presidential nominees, HB 2177 does not require any documents on eligibility for vice-presidential candidates.

  1. To Bob–So much for that “civility in politics” people have been saying they wanted.

  2. Lets look back in the long history of fraud in the Hawai’i birth records. Case in point. On March 13,
    1899 a birth certificate was issued the same day as the
    birth before the time of birth. Or so it seems.

    The baby was male and named George Cleghorn. The father
    of the baby was Archibald Scott Cleghorn. The mother was
    listed as an “UNKNOWN NATIVE” in place of a name. First
    question one should ask is why the birth certificate
    was drafted that way. First, Archibald Scott Cleghorn
    was the former Royal Governor of Oahu. Second, the
    birth records were sealed for 75 years, like that of
    Obama’s. Third, On March 12, 1899 (one day earlier)
    Princess Victoria Ka’iulani Kalanuiahilapalapa Kawekiu
    i Lunalilo Cleghorn was entombed after dying on March 6,
    1899. It was claimed she died of a broken heart, because the American Flag was raised on a flag pole the
    prior year, viz., August 12, 1898, when the United States Government took the Hawaiian Islands as a Territory under the terms of the Newlands Resolution of
    July 7, 1898. No mention was made at that time she died in child birth.

    This gets better. Archibald Scott Cleghorn was married to Princess Likelike, at the time of Princess Ka’iulani’s birth and for many years before. The birth was on October 16, 1875. Princess Likelike was the younger sister of King of the Hawai’i Islands. Wow!
    So George Cleghorn was born out of wedlock and in incest. Guess again it gets better. In the year 1912, Admiral William H. Southerland USN tells several people about a mid-January affair of 1875 between Lt. George
    A. Norris, USN and Princess Likelike aboard the USS
    Tuscarora. Lt. Norris was the navagator assigned to
    USS Tuscarora when he had his way with Princess Likelike. [For those interested in seabed georgraphy
    Norris Deep was named after Lt. George A. Norris, USN].

    George Cleghorn died in May, 1967 with a Social Security
    Number of 185-20-0496.

    Bottom line the Hawai’i Department of Health has a long
    history of documentary fraud.

    Sincerely, Mark Seidenberg, Vice Chairman, American Independent Party

  3. Beating the dead political horse some more —

    the physical place of birth is Totally / Absolutely meaningless.

    The nation-state status of the father determines the nation-state status of the new born kid/child.

    This is NOT atomic physics.

  4. Last sentence of the 12th Amdt —

    But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.

    Has ANY party hack robot in ANY State legislature ever read the U.S.A. Constitution — even with its many ANTI-Democracy super-defects ???
