State lawmakers revive eligibility requirement

State lawmakers revive eligibility requirement: PHOENIX – Arizona, at the forefront of last year’s effort among state legislatures to require eligibility documentation for candidates seeking office , is returning to the controversy with a proposal by Rep. Carl Seel, R-Phoenix, requiring candidates to sign an affidavit affirming they meet the legal requirements.

The plan was promoted in a news conference yesterday attended by Sheriff Joe Arpaio, whose Cold Case Posse earlier this month detailed how the evidence regarding Barack Obama’s eligibility documentation suggestions both forgery and fraud – and a reason to continue the investigation.

In addition to requiring a signed affidavit from candidates, Seel’s proposal would authorize any citizen with legitimate concerns over a candidate’s eligibility the legal standing to challenge it in court.
