Stella Tremblay is a 21st-century American legislator. She represented Rockingham County from Auburn in the New Hampshire House of Representatives. [1]
Tremblay was born in Italy, and is a Mormon. [1] She was first elected to the state legislature in 2010 (representing Rockingham District 3), and reelected in 2012 (representing Rockingham District 4). She resigned from the legislature on June 20, 2013. [2]
She was elected on the New Hampshire Republican Party ticket and served on the Children and Family Law committee. [3]
In 2013 Tremblay co-sponsored legislation maintaining that the District of Columbia Organic Act of 1871 unlawfully abrogated the United States Constitution by removing the Titles of Nobility Amendment, a proposed but unratified amendment which would have prevented people with titles of nobility from holding public office, so that the Constitution as accepted has been fraudulent since then, and seeking to correct this. This claim is frequently used by members of the alt-right to claim that lawyers, through the use of the title esquire, are barred from holding public office. [4] [5]
Tremblay has maintained that the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings were a black operation planned and executed by the Federal government of the United States, suggesting as evidence that the injuries sustained by Jeff Bauman (who lost both his legs in the bombing) appear to have been faked. [6] [7] The New Hampshire Republican Party disavowed and strongly condemned her statements. [8]
On June 19, 2013, she circulated a document to the entire legislature reiterating her claim and adding additional evidence. She resigned the next day. [9]
In legislative debate, a wrecking amendment is an amendment made by a legislator who disagrees with the principles of a bill and who seeks to make it useless rather than directly opposing the bill by simply voting against it.

New Hampshire is often noted for its moderate politics and its status as a prominent swing state. Voters predominantly selected Republicans for national office during the 19th and 20th centuries until 1992. Since then, the state has been considered a swing state. Since 2006, control of the state legislature and New Hampshire's congressional seats have switched back and forth between Republicans and Democrats. Although the state has voted for the Democratic candidate in the last four presidential elections since 2004, it has done so by relatively small margins.
The Constitution of the United States provides several basic requirements for eligibility to be elected to the office of President. Individual states did not introduce significant relevant legislation until the 2008 election of Barack Obama, when a controversy known as the birther movement was promoted by various conspiracy theorists. The "birthers" asserted during the 2008 presidential election campaign that Obama was not a natural-born U.S. citizen, as mandated by the Constitution, and thus was ineligible to be President of the United States, prompting several state legislatures to consider legislation aimed at requiring future presidential candidates to provide proof of citizenship by birth before being granted ballot access in their state. None of these efforts led to the passage of currently active laws.

"War on women" is a slogan in United States politics used to describe certain Republican Party policies and legislation as a wide-scale effort to restrict women's rights, especially reproductive rights, including abortion. Prominent Democrats such as Nancy Pelosi and Barbara Boxer, as well as feminists, have used the phrase to criticize proponents of these laws as trying to force their social views on women through legislation. The slogan has been used to describe Republican policies in areas such as access to reproductive health services, particularly birth control and abortion services; the definition of rape for the purpose of the public funding of abortion; the prosecution of criminal violence against women; and workplace discrimination against women.
