Race doesn’t have anything to do with presidential eligibility unless the candidate is lying about his race in order to garner votes from the people he fooled, who just might vote for him because they falsely believe they share a common racial background. But what candidate could possibly be so arrogant, audacious, and duplicitous? I can think of a few.

As for the long-form not containing anything more than the COLB to help determine eligibility, you’re simply wrong. The parents’ citizenship is crucial to determining whether a person is a natural born citizen.

Barack Obama wrote a book in 1995 called “Dreams from my Father” which is about is father’s birth and life in Kenya.
It’s already on the record that his father was never an American citizen and Obama would never claim that he was.
Barack Obama Senior “was born in Rachuonyo District on the shores of Lake Victoria just outside Kendu Bay, Kenya Colony, at that time a colony of the British Empire. He was raised in the village of Nyang’oma Kogelo, Siaya District, Nyanza Province.”
A long form birth certificate is not needed to confirm facts that are already in evidence and would be stipulated to by Obama’s attorneys.

A court has already ruled that his father’s citizenship is irrelevant to Obama being a natural born citizen. The lawsuit was “Ankeny et. al. v The Governor of Indiana, Mitch Daniels.”

The Indiana Court of Appeals ruled that: “Based on the language of Article II, Section 1, Clause 4 and the guidance provided by Wong Kim Ark, we conclude that persons born in the United States are “natural born citizens” for Article II, Section 1 purposes REGARDLESS OF THE CITIZENSHIP OF THEIR PARENTS.”—Indiana Court of Appeals, November 12, 2009
