Jan Brewer Vetoes Presidential Birther Bill

PHOENIX — Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer has vetoed a bill to require President Barack Obama and other presidential candidates to prove their U.S. citizenship before their names can appear on the state's ballot.

The bill vetoed by Brewer on Monday would have made Arizona the first state to pass such a requirement. According to My Fox Phoenix, the governor said the measure "is a bridge too far."

<<<<snip>>>>>

"I never imagined being presented with a bill that could require candidates for president of the greatest and most powerful nation on earth to submit their 'early baptismal or circumcision certificates'," said Brewer in light of vetoing the bill, according to My Fox Phoenix. "This measure creates significant new problems while failing to do anything constructive for Arizona."

1. SHE VETOED 2 OTHER BILLS AS WELL
The Carry guns on University Campus one (poorly written she said) and the one making Arizona join an alliance of states that could Buy Health insurance (seemed counterproductive if she was fighting the Health Care Law)... all three together on one day. The Freepers will have a field day. I can only guess she doesnt have a pocket Veto since she went though the trouble of publically doing this and issuing statements.

2. Hmmm. When a clock is broken, I don't go looking for motive;
just a battery or spring.

When a repub is "right", I start looking for motive; 3 vetos in one day?

Do we have another presidential candidate in the making? Trying to look more "mainstream"? Naw, I'm sure I'm just paranoid.
