2 Tenn. Lawmakers Backing Birth Records Bill
Updated: Sunday, 27 Feb 2011, 2:25 PM CST

Tennessee SB 366 (actually attributed to Beavers, not Keaton), includes:

(B) The affidavit prescribed in subdivision (a)(2)(A) shall include references to
and attachment of all of the following, which shall be sworn to under penalty of
perjury:
(i) An original long form birth certificate that includes the date and
place of birth, the names of the hospital and the attending physician, and
signatures of the witnesses in attendance;
(ii) A sworn statement attesting that the candidate has not held
dual or multiple citizenship and that the candidate’s allegiance is solely to
the United States of America; and
(iii) A sworn statement or form that identifies the candidate’s
places of residence in the United States for the preceding fourteen (14)
years.

Now I look at that, and wonder if they have thought about the fact that a lot of people don’t have their original long form birth certificate.

Set aside the fact that the second and third tests in no way prove or disprove “natural born citizenship.”
