I agree with Governor Brewer and her reasons for this veto.
I believe we need a law that reguires all candidates meet the requirements in the Constitution or the whole Document is not worth a Damn.
This law should be Federal and carry swift and sure penalty for violations.
As a former City official I could have been challenged at any point to prove I was an established legal Citizen of the City for the required time before running as it should be.

Arizona Gov. Brewer Vetoes Bill to Require Presidential Candidates to Prove Citizenship - FoxNews.com
PHOENIX -- Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer on Monday vetoed a bill that would have required President Obama and other presidential candidates to prove their U.S. citizenship before their names could appear on the state's ballot.
The bill would have made Arizona the first state to pass such a requirement. Opponents had warned the bill would give another black eye to Arizona after last year's controversy over the state's illegal immigration enforcement law.
Brewer said in her veto letter that she was troubled that the bill empowered Arizona's secretary of state to judge the qualifications of all candidates when they file to run for office.
