B. For the purposes of this section, “subject to the jurisdiction of the United States” has the meaning that it bears in Section 1 of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, namely that the person is a child of at least one parent who owes no allegiance to any foreign sovereignty, or a child without citizenship or nationality in any foreign country.

Arizona is also on it's way to enacting legislation requiring Presidential candidates to produce a birth certificate. Luckily in February 2011 they passed legislation defining natural born citizen - which includes children of one ONE US citizen parent:
"A PERSON WHO IS BORN SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE UNITED STATES IS A NATURAL BORN UNITED STATES CITIZEN."
"AS USED IN THIS COMPACT, "SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE UNITED STATES" HAS THE MEANING THAT IT BEARS IN SECTION 1 OF THE FOURTEENTH AMENDMENT TO THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION, NAMELY THAT THE PERSON IS A CHILD OF AT LEAST ONE PARENT WHO OWES NO ALLEGIANCE TO ANY FOREIGN SOVEREIGNTY, OR A CHILD WITHOUT CITIZENSHIP OR NATIONALITY IN ANY FOREIGN COUNTRY. FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS COMPACT A PERSON WHO OWES NO ALLEGIANCE TO ANY FOREIGN SOVEREIGNTY IS A UNITED STATES CITIZEN OR NATIONAL, OR AN IMMIGRANT ACCORDED THE PRIVILEGE OF RESIDING PERMANENTLY IN THE UNITED STATES, OR A PERSON WITHOUT NATIONALITY IN ANY FOREIGN COUNTRY."
Is this the only way a republican can get past Obama? We all realize that no republican was going to win in 2008 because of all the damage Bush did, but even if you disqualified Obama, then Hillary would have been the president. They can keep digging all they want, it's just more petty BS by right-wingers. Maybe putting a quality candidate in the running would be a better idea. If they want to have a chance in 2012, they might want to pair a solid presidential and vice presidential candidate and not put forth the crap they did last time. Remember, Palin couldn't even name ONE magazine and NEVER gave direct answers on the questions being asked. She always just spewed crap that was unrelated to the questions!

Looks like Arizona will be well on its way to getting a judicial smackdown for blatantly unconstitutional legislation again.
On a side note, why are libs so keen on taking Hawaii's governor's word for it that Skippy is legit, but they don't want to let Arizona have a word to say in the illegal immigration fight?
