Arizona to require proof of natural citizenship.

PHOENIX, Arizona (PNN) - May 18, 2012 - Talking Points Memo this morning pointed to an interview yesterday between an Arizona conservative radio host and Secretary of State Ken Bennett.

In the interview, Bennett said it would be possible that he keeps illegitimate President Obama off the Arizona ballot in November unless he receives confirmation from the state of Hawaii that Barack Obama was actually born there.

Bennett said he got more than 1,200 requests to require Obama to produce a valid birth certificate. Interestingly, he said that he couldn't even get an original copy of his own birth certificate if he wanted, but he said there's a special provision that would allow a Hawaii official to confirm just by email.

"If they can't say yes to that simple question, it makes me wonder if we have to take it to another level," said Bennett.

Yesterday, the conservative website Breitbart released a promotional booklet it had obtained that said Obama had been born in Kenya. The literary agent who wrote Obama's blurb in the booklet subsequently came out and said she had made a mistake.

Bennett's alignment with Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who has been conducting an ongoing investigation into whether or not Obama actually is a natural born citizen, eligible to hold the office of the president, is a break from Arizona's Republican Gov. Jan Brewer, who has discounted the countless pieces of evidence indicating the illegitimate president was not born in Hawaii, as he claims.
