So...only circumcised males can run for office if they are unable to provide their long-form BC?

Isn't this a religious test for office, and therefore blatantly unconstitutional?

I know, I know...far too rational an approach to these fools.

Someone needs to check and see if Bachmann and Palin are circumcised!
I can't believe grown ups wrote this bill.
I don't care what they say. They do not care about jobs or the economy.

The GOP obsession with penises is hilarious. I can't wait for them to try and force the POTUS to drop trou.

They did try. I posted a freeper thread here that has conspiracy theories about the Presidential Peen, concluding that we could only know his citizenship if we took a look at it.

In their defense, an all nude Congress would make CSPAN significantly more watchable.

Have you seen most members of Congress?

There's more than one kind of watchable. ;)

This bill only pertains to members of potential presidents. I wonder why Arizona is not so concerned with their state candidates and congressmen?

That section also offers the option of a baptismal certificate. Hmmm, there doesn't seem to be a corresponding document option for followers of Islam. I wonder why that is.

Not only that, but don't these birther bills amount to bills of attainder, since they're aimed specifically at Barack Obama because of this idiotic conspiracy?

What is this I don't even

Did anyone actually read the bill before commenting?
Two or more of the following may be used in lieu of a long form birth certificate:
(a) Early baptismal or circumcision certificate.
(b) Hospital birth record.
(c) Postpartum medical record for the mother or child signed by the doctor or midwife or the person who delivered or examined the child after birth.
(d) Early census record.

of course not!

15 What, me worry?  Thu, Apr 14, 2011 7:40:53pm

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't there a word for these people around election time? This issue came up then. I think they called them the "Schlongers"!

16 What, me worry?  Thu, Apr 14, 2011 7:43:06pm

Besides after President Clinton, I think we've had enough discussion about presidential naughty bits.

re: #12 Vreejack

And did it ever dawn on you that Barack Obama would have had to undergo background checks when he got elected to the Senate in order to get his security clearances? That would include verifying both his citizenship and birth.

It doesn't matter what the hell this bill requires or allows and what it doesn't. It's stupid and flies in the face of reason. The man's a citizen. Period.

LOL! Michelle should just send a letter saying it's long and black like the rest of him.

You know what's interesting is that only one of these things (a census record) is a legal document. A hospital record is not a legal document. A baptismal or circumcision certificate is most definitely not a legal document. A medical record is not a legal document.

But what is a legal document? The actual certificate provided by the state of Hawaii to Obama which this law is deliberately calibrated to avoid accepting.

Last I checked, states don't get to determine what qualifies as an acceptable legal document from another state, and they surely don't get to grant legal precedence over unofficial non-state certified documents (religious or otherwise).
