We can drop this debate over his birth certificate because we have something even more valuable. We have his mother’s passport files.
Snip~
When Obama was young, children traveled as an addition to their parents’ passports.
Passport regulations required a photo of parent and child together, as well as a certified copy of a hospital birth certificate. State-issued IDs came much later.
If Obama was born in the United States, as everybody says, then there should be a photo of little Barack Obama with his mother, as well as a certified copy of his Hawaiian birth certificate in her file.
Surprise. There are no photos of little Barack Obama in the file. And of course, there is no birth certificate from any hospital in Hawaii.

The obvious question is, who took him through US Customs and Immigration and helped him board the plane in Hawaii? And who brought him back?
The only mention of little Barack Obama is when his mother tried to renew her passport at the US Consulate in Jakarta a few years later. We see evidence of that in the file.
She tried to trick the passport office. She went to the US Consulate in Jakarta and wrote “Barack Obama” in the section where you add your child. She thought, like we did, that they were going to add him to her passport, no questions asked.
They probably laughed and asked her how her son got to Jakarta without a US Passport.
When she failed to go get this Hawaiian birth certificate and retake her photo, the Passport Office crossed out his name.

Here is a working link to her records:
wtf-ingf??????????????????
In the words of Hillary “What difference does it make”
Stop...Momma was a citizen of the USA. That made him a citizen. He could have been born on Mars...
Calling Sven Magnussen, please pick up the white courtesy phone.
“Stop...Momma was a citizen of the USA. That made him a citizen.”
Stop...Yes made him a citizen but not a Article 2 Section 1 natural born Citizen.
Not always. My eldest son was issued a US Passport when he was barely 1 month old. His photo is of him only. His mother was not a US citizen yet so had a Thai passport with a US Visa attachment. There is a notation on his passport photo that it was signed by his mother.
I don’t know about babies but as a kid I had my own passport and was never on my parents’.
While I may not agree with the interpretation of "Natural Born"...it's a settled matter, he's President and the bell can't be unrung.
see #10
That would be worthy of a new National Holiday!
This statement is false. What is true is that children COULD be included on a parent's passport. But, more often an infant or child was issued a passport in his own name. I still have copies of the passports issued to my children in the same era (mid sixties) with their little baby faces plainly visible on the inner page.
So, rather than focus on Stanley Ann's passport records, what is really needed are Barack Hussein Barry Soetoro Obama's passport records.
Sorry. That doesn’t make Barry a “Natural Born Citizen”. Try something else.
Not exactly. If momma was a US Citizen, and the father a foreigner, and there is no clear birth certificate from the US, there rightly should have been a document called “Report of US Citizen born Abroad”....a state department document.
If she tried to bring him back to the US on her passport and couldn’t show them a US BC, then she’d have had to produce the document I mentioned. She did not.
I know this because I went through this with my son.
HAHAHA!!! Yep, me, too!
What's even worse is the two new "shining stars" of the Republican Party (remains to be seen if they will actually remain conservative) are also NOT natural born citizens. We'll be hearing ignorant takes on NBC for a long time to come.
