"The Supreme Court has again cast aside an appeal that raised doubts about President Barack Obama's U.S. citizenship, a grass-roots legal issue that has gained little legal or political footing, but continues to persist in the courts." [CNN Politics]
Although this CNN article states "State birth certificate records show he was born August 4, 1961, in Honolulu, Hawaii." and "Obama and his staff produced copies of his birth certificate when he was running for president in 2008,", neither assertion is true.
The document produced is a "Certification of Live Birth" not a "Certificate of Live Birth". These are two DIFFERENT documents. At the time Obama was born, 1961, BOTH documents could be issued. The "CERTIFICATION" could be and was issued to anyone walking in the door. The "CERTIFICATION" was widely obtained by parents whose children were born in places other than Hawaii. The "CERTIFICATION" shows neither the hospital nor the Doctor's name. The only thing needed to obtain a "CERTIFICATION" was for a parent to swear to the truth of the information. Children born in hospitals in Hawaii at that time (as well as now) had "CERTIFICATE"s ... the OTHER document which does show the hospital and Doctor's name. Until recently, most Hawaii government agencies did NOT RECOGNIZE the "CERTIFICATION" as sufficient proof of Hawaii birth.
OBAMA has ONLY produced a "CERTIFICATION" not a "CERTIFICATE".
Hence ...... the furor over his eligibility.
