Also, technically it makes him ineligible for President. His farther was NOT born in the United States. Technicality, that disqualified him and why Hillary was asking for this in 2007.
no no no no and NO, do some research:

United States Code: Title 8,1401. Nationals and citizens of United States at birth | LII / Legal Information Institute

Maybe finally all this silliness will end.

I'm actually amazed he caved for people like Trump.

Update: Reporters were all given copies by the White House Press Secretary. Press conference at 0945 EST.

Obama should have held it back a lot longer. His reason was bad, it was no greater distraction than it always has been. We have been in a crisis for a long time so that was another bad reason.
No election this year why bother. He should have kept people off the real issues.
It's media driven. I watched the press conference and then the shows later and so many misinterpreted what Trump said it was laughable.

The U.S. Constitution and U.S. law, as of the time of Obama Junior’s birth, still required a President to have a father who was a U.S. citizen. Clearly Obama’s father was a British citizen, as clearly shown on the very document Obama released. That is what is meant by having to be a "natural born" citizen. The founders in the late 1700s passed a law that all candidates had to have TWO US citizen parents so loyalties would be with the USA. Obama by the aw is not a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN. His birth certificate states so.

By that logic, if one US soldier kills another soldier with a rifle provided by the US government, then Obama should be on trial for murder.

Your argument is so invalid.

When Did Hawaii Become A State?

Hawaii became the 50th state on August 21, 1959.

Incorect he was not born of a US citizen dad, the dad was British.

Our founding fathers didn’t want any U.S. President to have mixed loyalties so they required that both parents of a President be U.S. citizens in order to qualify their son or daughter to be a Natural Born U.S. Citizen. Period. Simple. Not complicated.
Here’s the exact language of the Naturalization Act of 1790, passed by the first U.S. Congress: “And the children of citizens of the United States, that may be born beyond sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born citizens: Provided, That the right of citizenship shall not descend to persons whose fathers have never been resident in the United States…”

Bottom line: It doesn’t matter if Obama was born in Hawaii, which was actually a U.S. Territory at the time of Obama’s birth and not yet a U.S. state. What does matter is that Obama Jr.’s dad Obama Sr. was not a U.S. citizen and thus rendering his son’s Presidential aspirations patently illegal.

Your ignorance is telling in this matter.

Obama's unwed mother is a citizen. It never mattered where he was born.

Look it up yourself.

Donald the chump, got duped, played like a patsy, acted like a clown, exposed himself a fool and pawn, and got played like a hot fiddle by Birthers.

He showed what an overblown bag of wind he actually is.

He opens his mouth and we have global warming.

He just beat out Charlie Sheen....Winning.

Excuse me, but it's required by the U.S. Constitution! You think our Constitution is silly? That a President shouldn't need to prove his country of birth?

What's silly is Obama not presenting this certificate a long long time ago...it's his fault this thing has blown up to such a large proportion.
It does firmly establish one thing though: his grandmother is a liar. She said she witnessed his birth...in Kenya...

Bud
Please quote the section of the constitution that states a birth certificate must be proffered.
