Why doesn't he? I dunno, maybe he's sick of doing it and has more important things to worry about than a bunch of morons and/or racists who will never be satisfied no matter what is produced.
Some birther: "No, I need an original, with all this completely unnecessary shit that the Department of Defense or the State Department doesn't even require."
"Why?"
"Because I have a gut feeling that you faked your birth."
"WHAT?"
"Yeah, so I'm going to need you to go back to your home county, dig up..."
Yeah, I have the same "incomplete" birth certificate that Barack Obama has, so I get extra annoyed.
Mine doesn't have a doctor, hospital, footprints, or whatever the hell the Birthers want. Just a time, date, place, my parents' names, and a county clerk's stamp.
I've been able to get a driver's license, a U.S. passport, enlist in the military, and obtain a security clearance. Nobody has ever asked me for a "long form" birth certificate.
My mother watched this today and apparently takes anything Donald Trump says as gospel. She was going on in the car about how Obama won't show his birth certificate blah blah blah. Although to be fair this is probably the first time she's actually heard about the birther thing (we're Canadian and she only really watches local news)
I do believe Obama was born in Hawaii. But the Constitution requires the President to be a natural born citizen, I.e. his parents conferring American citizenship on him does not meet that status.
ah ok it was my understanding that if one of your parents were American you could be considered American no matter where you were born and basically just have dual citizenship.
for all other requirements other than being president, yes, citizenship by blood (parents) is adequate. for that, you need citizenship by soil (being born in the US). we're weird like that.
