There is much more to it than simple “minor personal administrative matters”. Most people I know can produce legitimate documents for most of those being questioned relatively easily, and yet Dear Leader can not produce a single one which does not have significant issues. To my knowledge this has never happened before for a President.

Your post is correct. Even Dwight Eisenhower had to produce a birth certificate in order to run for president.

See here:

Ike needed birth certificate to run for president

‘Ike had nothing to hide!’

The article appeared on page 6A with a dateline of Sherman, Texas. It was headlined: “General’s birth certificate officially filed,” and stated, “A certificate recording Dwight Eisenhower’s birth in Denison on Oct. 14, 1890, was filed Wednesday [Oct. 1, 1952] in the Grayson County Clerk’s office.

“Nobody had bothered to make out a certificate when the Republican presidential candidate was born in a house at the corner of Lamar and Day streets in nearby Denison.

Snip~

Elected 34th president of the United States in November 1952, Eisenhower made it through his first 62 years without any need for a birth certificate.

However, the need arose when he became a presidential candidate. Since Eisenhower was the oldest man to be elected president since James Buchanan over 100 years earlier, age was obviously not at issue. Instead, there was protocol in place for presidential candidates to provide proof of eligibility to appear on the ballot.

Post below yours, responding to yours, clearly indicates that IKE had to have a birth certificate made up for him AFTER he became a candidate.

That used to be fairly common!
