  • Gov. Jan Brewer says the bill is "a bridge too far"
  • It would have required presidential hopefuls to prove they were born in the U.S.

(CNN) -- Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer vetoed a bill late Monday that would have required President Barack Obama and other presidential candidates to prove they were American citizens, born in the United States, before their names could have been placed on the state ballot.

The so-called "birther bill" got final approval in the state House last week. Now that Brewer, a Republican, has vetoed it, the bill will not become law unless legislators vote to override her veto.

I can see what she is saying but I disagree with her and would like to see the State Legislature override her Veto. I would also like to see the other 49 States adopt a similar law. It's already a Constitutional Requirement that the Administration has chosen to ignore providing proof of. The Administration and Quivering cowards in Congress won't force the issue like they are able to do.
