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.
Barack Obama.
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.

making his fake birth certificate look authentic
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.
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.
