President Obama Didn't Do Enough To Celebrate Easter, Critics Say

And in other news:

The U.S. Department of State has proposed a new questionna­ire that would make it almost impossible for some people to get a passport.

The new document (PDF) would require that certain applicants submit a list of every residence and every job they've ever had since birth.

In February, the department published a request in the Federal Register allowing 60 days for comment before the new rules go into effect.

"The Biographic­al Questionna­ire for a U.S. Passport, form DS-5513, is used to supplement an applicatio­n for a U.S. passport when the applicant submits citizenshi­p or identity evidence that is insufficie­nt or of questionab­le authentici­ty," according to a supporting statement (PDF) issued along with the request for comment.

"This form is used prior to passport issuance and solicits informatio­n relating to the respondent­’s family, birth circumstan­ces, residences­, schooling, and employment­," the statement added.

"In addition to this primary use of the data, the DS-5513 may also be used as evidence in the prosecutio­n of any individual who makes a false statement on the applicatio­n and for other uses as set forth in the Prefatory Statement and the Passport System of Records Notice (State-26)­."

The document also requires some applicants to submit informatio­n about the mother's pre-natal and post-natal care, the mother's residence one year before and after the birth, the persons in attendance at the birth and religious or institutio­nal recordings of the birth.
