New Legislation: No Dual Citizens or Anchor Babies for President!
Do you have a "long form" birth certificate? I certainly don't! The "hospital" in which I was "born" apparently "burned down." Now I will never be president, if the birther sympathizers get their way. Unfortunately, they probably won't, because even when they introduce legislation that requires a "long form" birth certificate to run for office, they are also forced to admit they don't know what one is. It's also worth noting that these legislators are attempting to put into law that a citizen who has ever had dual citizenship may not run for president. This is probably unconstitutional? Though who knows! Still, good luck getting a security clearance if you're a dual citizen—though the Justice Department defines dual citizens as regular old citizens of America for hiring purposes, and of course you'll do just fine getting elected governor of California if you're actually a stealthy servant of Vienna! Kenya, for the record, does not have dual citizenships.
I assume there's a clause excluding majority white countries from these provisions. Otherwise how will Arnold run?!
Just write a law saying you have to pass the paper bag test and be done with it.
Any news when the new Camp David in Kenya will be completed?
I was born in what's now Meadowlands Hospital in Secaucus, NJ. When I was applying for a passport in college so I could go to Paris for spring break, I was informed that, because of a longstanding investigation into corruption in the Hudson County Clerk's office, that my county-issued birth certificate wouldn't be valid proof of identity, so I had to schlep down to Trenton to get a state-issued one.
I never really wanted to be president, anyway.
I was born there too! And had to do the same thing.
I don't know if you stuck around Hudson County after being "born" there, but for those of us who did, this was not surprising at all.
I'm so glad the environment isn't collapsing, so they have time to focus on these pressing issues.
I was born at home to homesteading hippies, so I suppose I'm out of the running too. But I'd rather be a dual citizen, preferrably to somewhere like Holland, so when the real shit hits the fan I can just pack up and go.
Wait, I'm sorry, Choire: the hospital where you were born burnt down? Is your real name Damian or what?
Ok, Ms. Beavers, as someone who helps write crazy legislation for politicians to file, let's quickly go over the rules. You must "read"/be briefed on the legislation before the committee hearing OR before you go on a radio show with an MO of debunking your legislation's central purpose. Got it?
