So-called "birther" bill unconstitutional

Last Wednesday, 93 state House members signed the so-called "birther" bill, which would make presidential and vice presidential candidates prove their citizenship to make the state's ballot. The next day, more than 20 had crossed their names off the list. The bill required presidential candidates to sign an affidavit saying they have never held dual citizenship. "If that [bill] passes in Georgia's Statehouse, it will be challenged and it will be struck down as unconstitutional. I am 100 percent confident," said Peter Spiro, a professor at Temple's Beasley School of Law.
