It's an open question, but I'm pretty sure I'd be okay. Every single time we bring this up, they refuse to acknowledge the language in the statute in the bill, page 12, line … If you're missing any of that documentation...you swear out a brief affidavit...the burden is shifted to the state authorities. … or refute your citizenship or lack thereof. States, remember, have access to all kinds of information, birth certificates issued in that state. (43:00–43:54)
