One needs to provide a birth certificate to get a U.S. passport. How did Obama get a passport?

If he was born overseas, and/or lost his citizenship when adopted in Indonesia, then didn’t he have to become a naturalized citizen to regain his citizenship at some point? And wouldn’t he have had to provide that paperwork to get his passport?

I think his passport file would contain some answers to these questions.

J.D. Hayworth addressed that question on his show this week. Apparently, congress-critters don't have to show a valid birth certificate to get a passport.

The short form Hawaii Certification of Live Birth that appears in scanned in form on the factcheck.org website is all that is needed to receive a passport or a social security card as it is the only birth certificate that the state of Hawaii issues.
At the bottom of the certificate it says: “This copy serves as prima facie evidence of the fact of birth in any court proceeding.” (HRS 338-13(b), 338-19.)
The original version of Barack Hussein Obama’s Certificate of Live Birth (#151 1961-010641) is on file with the state of Hawaii Department of Health. Obama obtained a copy of it from them on June 6, 2007.
The copy of the original that has been posted on the internet on various web sites was stamped and dated as having been issued on June 6, 2007 by Alvin T. Onaka, Hawaii state registrar and it contains Onaka’s official seal and stamp.

This issue is a distraction from the legitimate and much more serious campaign issues and will lead nowhere.

Remember during the primaries Obambi’s passport was looked into online @ the state dept. ? Coincidence ? I think not...
