DEVELOPING: Death to ‘birther bill,’ committee shoots it down
A key legislative committee in the New Hampshire House killed the so-called ‘birther bill’ in a close 10-8 vote.
The House Election Law Committee voted the bill Inexpedient to Legislate.
The measure would have forced presidential candidates – including President Barack Obama, whom some erroneously claim was not born in the United States – to produce their long form birth certificates in order to compete in New Hampshire’s first-in-the-nation primary process.
