Did President Obama have to show his birth certificate to become a US Senator from Illinois?

No. The constitution only states that people running for the Senate or House meet age and state/district requirements. Naturalized citizens can be in the legislative branch. No other president as been asked to produce his birth certificate to prove his is a citizen. It is a bogus charge. It is only in the office of the President that a requirement of native US citizen is enforced.
