"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 indicates both forgery and fraud.
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.
The Arizona proposal is similar to a Georgia provision that requires “every candidate for federal” office who is certified by the state executive committee of a political party or who files a notice of candidacy “shall meet the constitutional and statutory qualifications for holding the office being sought.”
This year, several individuals challenged Obama’s candidacy in Georgia, introducing evidence during a two-hour hearing before an administrative law judge. However, Judge Michael Malihi threw out the evidence and ruled in favor of Obama, who, along with his attorney, snubbed the state system and refused to show up for the hearing.
That ruling now is pending before the state Supreme Court, which has yet to hear arguments in the case.
The new plan in Arizona, where Gov. Jan Brewer last year vetoed a bill to require eligibility documentation, would impose a penalty for perjury on those who sign a qualification statement but were found later to be ineligible.
The bill, HB2480, has passed the Senate Government Reform Committee.
Arpaio was at the news conference to urge legislators to advance the measure.
“Something has to be done,” he said, citing a lack of cooperation from other law enforcement agencies as well as a “blackout” by major media across the U.S.
He commended the legislation’s sponsors and supporters for their “fortitude” to go public with the issue.
Mike Zullo, Arpaio’s lead investigator into the Obama controversy, said the evidence reveals that Obama’s documentation is “constructed and presented for a purpose.”
“That purpose was to deceive,” he added."
