Arizona Governor Vetoed Two Controversial Bills

Republican Arizona Governor Jan Brewer vetoed two highly controversial bills, Monday. One bill mandates that those running for presidency should submit proof of U.S. citizenship; the other is supposed to allow guns on college campuses.

Brewer is remembered as one of the governors who drew attention to themselves. She grabbed headlines after signing a law that will crack down and is meant to get tough with immigrants last year.

The “birther bill” was supposed to mark Arizona as the first state that submitted a law asking presidential candidates to present proof of citizenship such as (but are not limited to) birth, circumcision, or baptismal certificates. The said documents shall be positioned on the state ballot.

The said state legislature was passed in the heat of President Barack Obama’s questioned citizenship. It has been noted that television tycoon Donal Trump openly questioned the president’s birth in Hawaii. He even dared Obama to present his birth certificate in public. The white house remained mum regarding the controversies.

Moreover, Brewer also vetoed a bill that would have allowed individuals to carry guns inside college campuses. They would have not been the first state to do this but the governor said that it was so poorly written; she had no choice but to veto it.

Arizona Senator Steve Gallardo said that the governor’s move did well for Arizona. He said that both bills will only make the state look bad and it will put them in a National spotlight for all the wrong rea
