Naturally the latest state to join the Birther train is...you guessed it...Arizona.
An Arizona legislator has revived her effort to require presidential candidates to show their birth certificate if they want to get on the state's ballot.
State Rep. Judy Burges submitted a new version of the "Birther Bill" on Tuesday, even though a similar bill failed to gain support last year.
This new legislation is extremely specific, seeming to target each of the issues "birthers" have continued to raise regarding President Obama.
Members of the fringe group who believe Obama is not eligible to be commander in chief have argued he was not born in Hawaii, has dual citizenship, or is simply not a "natural born citizen."
Burges' HB 2544 would address each of these concerns by requiring any and all candidates to provide "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."
The scheme is of course that anything Obama submits under this law (and Georgia, Texas, Pennsylvania and Montana have similar legislative pushes) will be called a fraud, and the Birthers will hope that means that the question of Obama's eligibility will go to the Supreme Court or something, where they have fever dreams of a 5-4 decision that renders the President ineligible and nullifies all the laws he's signed, etc, leading to mass chaos.
It's purely ridiculous, but this shows you just how far Republicans (and some Democrats) are going to try to rid the country of President Obama. These people are crazy mean, well beyond anything ever thrown at Clinton or Bush. They're willing to literally throw the country into anarchy in order to get rid of current Oval Office occupant.
Do not underestimate them. They will destroy the country to destroy Obama.

I recently got a copy of my birth certificate from the state of Indiana. It didn't have those things on it, and I don't see a way to get a copy of the "long-form birth certificate". When Mike Pence throws his foil hat into the ring, he's not going to be able to get one either.
Why stop there? Why not require all candidates to show their navels on TV to prove they weren't decanted in a clone tank? Or a full and deep colon check to prove they haven't been implanted with an alien control chip? I submit that John Boehner is actually a 4000 year old mummy, all I ask that all his blood be drained and replaced to prove he hasn't been embalmed with the immortality granting tannis leaf.
It's very Poe's law.
To all the birthers in La, La Land, it is on you to prove to all of us that your assertion is true (TOUGH WHEN YOU KEEP LOSING CASES), if there are people who were there and support your position then show us the video (everyone has a price), either put up or frankly shut-up. The way our US Courts work is that you get a competent lawyer, verifiable facts and present them to a judge, if the facts are real and not half baked lies, then, and only then, you proceed to trial. The Birthers seem to be having a problem with their so called facts that they present to our US Courts. Let’s face it no one will go along with you until you guys win a case, but until then, you will continue to appear dumb, crazy or racist, or maybe all three.
