Petition: A formal written request, typically one signed by
many people, appealing to authority in respect of a particular cause.
The White House has stopped accepting signatures for a
petition that sought to designate Pakistan a state sponsor of terrorism, saying
it has been archived as it did not meet the “signature requirements”.
“Closed petition”, said the petition page.
“This petition has been archived because it did not meet the
signature requirements. It can no longer be signed,” the White House explained.
No further explanation has been given by the White House on
closing the petition for signature.
But the White House is expected to have an official response
to the petition within the 60 days deadline.
The petition was created on September 21 by a person who
identified himself by initials RG and the petition needed 1,00,000 signatures
in 30 days to get a response from the White House.
