Arizona last thursday became the first U.S. state to pass a bill requiring presidential candidates to provide proof of their citizenship in order to see their names on their ballots. The Arizona Republican Governor Jan Brewer has five days to enact the birth bill, as far is known, or veto it. If it does nothing, the bill becomes law after those five days. The defenders of Bill swears it has nothing to do with the controversy over the birthplace of Barack Obama.
PS: I take this opportunity to publish an excerpt followed by a clip of the interview last thursday by President George Stephanopoulos, who asked him to respond to the doubts expressed by Donald Trump on his birth certificate:

"I think there have been over the last two and a half years, an effort to attack me in a way that is politically opportunistic short-term for Republicans, but who created, I think, a problem for them as part of a general election where most people are pretty sure that the president was born where he says he was born in Hawaii and did not have horns.
