President Obama has produced a valid official copy of the record of his birth from the state of Hawaii. The Republican Governor of Hawaii has confirmed that it is correct and accurate about his birth in Hawaii and his natural born citizenship. Snopes did not lie. The lies came from those who made up the "problem" that he might not be a citizen and that the birth certificate was not real. This is totally debunked and proven that he is a US citizen and has been since the moment of his birth in Hawaii.
The US constitution requires that the president is a natural born US citizen, some people implied that he was an immigrant, his birth certificate however proves he is eligible to hold the office of President as specified by the constitution. There was and is no issue, it was used in attempts to discredit Barack Obama.
Birth certificate.
There is a certificate of Live Birth on file to be accessed on the White House website.
There isn't a Kenyan birth certificate for President Obama. That was a hoax. On the other hand, there is a Kenyan birth certificate for his father, who was in fact born in Kenya. President Obama, however, was born in Hawaii, a fact that has been thoroughly documented.
No, a President is not required to provide a copy of a birth certificate, however, Barack Obama has and he was the first President ever to do so. His birth certificate has been validated by the Republican Governor of Hawaii. Presidents are, however, vetted to determine their eligibility, so this has been thoroughly investigated and it has been determined that he is qualified and eligible to hold the office.
The "long certificate" proves that Barack Obama was born in the US.
The authorized birth certificate may refer to the Original birth certificate rather than the Copy of the Birth Certificate.
Actually, he was born in Hawaii. Barack Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii. In April of 2011, the long form of President Obama's Hawaiian birth certificate was released, in order to remove the birth certificate question as a distraction from the other challenges we face as a country. See Related Links for an image of the birth certificate.
Actually, the birth certificate says "African" -- and it refers to his father, who is in fact from Africa (born and raised in Kenya). The confusion is that the president has the same name as his biological father. The "African" refers to his dad, Barack Senior. The term "African-American" was not in common use in 1961, so it would not have appeared on a birth certificate. President Obama was biracial (mother was white and from the United States, father was black and from Africa). But his birth certification does not classify him-- it classifies the races of his parents.
Barack Obama.
The real one is in Hawaii, where President Obama was born. //That's the whole point. Nobody really knows for sure who he is or where he comes from. His birth certificiate has been proven a fake, it's not a matter of dispute. Why he is not only still in office but is being allowed to run for a second term defies all logic. He may or may not have a legitimate birth certificate. Although if he did why would he use a fake one? So the chance that he is even American seems slim at this point.//
Why would you want to sign a birth certificate?
