Here's what the U.S. State Dept. lists as the necessary elements of a birth certificate:

Hey Dummy! We don't give a sh*t what the state department accepts. The Constitution is a higher authority and is not governed by their preferences.

Only such material as is demonstrably provable to establish qualifications is acceptable, and once again, no body gives a sh*t what the state department or the local DMV thinks in regards to this.

The Constitution is a higher authority and is not governed by their preferences.

Well, DumbDumb, perhaps you can point me to the provision in the Constitution where it mentions the necessary elements of a birth certificate.

Only such material as is demonstrably provable to establish qualifications is acceptable, and once again,

And why doesn't material that meets the requirements for all other official purposes establish those qualifications? Who appointed you Grand Poobah on what meets the Constitutional standard? Answer: no one. So pipe down.
