Birther Central - Trump Sends In The Investigators

Trump produced birth certificate that wasn’t official


Real estate magnate Donald Trump thought he was really sticking it to Barack Obama yesterday by releasing his own birth certificate. The idea, of course, was for The Donald to show that he could easily obtain and show proof of his natural-born citizenship--something Obama hasn't done, according to Trump and those in the "birther" movement.

But now, reports indicate that the reality star's birth certificate wasn't the real deal.

The document Trump released to the conservative news site Newsmax was issued by the Jamaica Queens hospital where Trump was born. But official birth certificates for New York City are only issued by the city Department of Health, the Smoking Gun notes.

Politico's Maggie Haberman called city officials about Trump's document. They confirmed that a valid birth certificate from New York includes the Department of Health's seal and a signature from the city registrar. "City officials said it's not an official document," in reference to the paper that Trump released, Haberman reported via Ben Smith.

Trump, who is considering a 2012 presidential campaign, recently revealed he shares doubts held by "birthers"--those who incorrectly believe the president isn't a natural born citizen.
Trump boasted to Fox's Greta Van Susteren Monday: "Somebody asked to see my birth certificate, and I had it in my hands in less than an hour."

Of course, that was before this latest revelation about the status of Trump's document. Now it remains to be seen whether this self-proclaimed birther sympathizer will become the target of
conspiracy theories about the circumstances of his own birth.


UPDATE 12:30pm: Trump aide Michael Cohen told CNN that the release of the unofficial document instead of the official one was an oversight. "In order to rectify the oversight, I am sure he will either find his original birth certificate or order another one and release it," Cohen said.

I can only imagine how the birthers would react if Obama had released a BC that The State of Hawaii said wasn't official :cool:

Trump might run, if he can sell a major network turning that run for the presidency into a reality TV show for which he gets paid.

I watched Michele Bachmann in an interview on MSNBC, and they asked her if she was going to run for president.

She, like the other politicians, refused to answer the question direclty, only saying that she and her "family" would make a decision later this year, and would run if it were the right thing to do.

Like morons, the MSNBC hosts did not ask the appropriate and direct question of "What will determine if running for president is the right thing to do Congresswoman Bachmann."

I swear, the follow up question is rarely used these days, and is a key to going deeper with a guest. It need not be contentious, but when someone is vague and says they will decide if it is the right thing to do, what excatly do they mean by that?

Does Bachmann need to have God speak to her? Does she have to start speaking in tongues? Is it about having enough money to run? At least be honest Ms. Bachmann...

Quote from Pekelo:

So I wonder if Trump is American, after all his mother was Scottish and I haven't seen his birth certificate...

But I would vote for him, because I want to see:

-hot First Ladies
-his official/objective wealth estimate (probably around 4-500 mill)
-how he is dealing with OPEC
-his hair blown away by Marine One
-etc.etc.

By the way he will never officially run....

The mental and wishful masturbation in this thread is so heavy, I had to wipe off my monitor twice already... :)

elsewhere on the net..........

Obama is a citizen of the United States because his mother was a citizen - that is not at issue. The issue is whether he is a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN - meaning, born on the soil of the United States or having two parents who are both citizens. His father was not a citizen at the time of his birth, so he would have to have been born here to qualify.

Back in the sixties, anyone could request a certificate of live birth when a child was born. Obama's certificate was issued to an address matching that of his grandparents at the time. SO, the theory goes that he was born outside the United States and his grandparents requested the certificate, which generated the notifications that went to the papers.

Donald Trump is trying to figure out if this is what happened. If it turns out that this is correct, Obama is not elligible to be president, plain and simple.

.................................

The fact that Obama was adopted by Indonesian Lolo Soetoro in the 1970s, and his name was legally changed to Barry Soetoro at that time, is most likely the reason he is spending millions of dollars to hide his birth certificate. He never filed the papers to change his name back to “Barack Hussein Obama, Jr.”, so any birth certificate produced by the state of Hawaii would list him as “Barry Soetoro”.
 
Being born here does not necessarily make you are natural born citizen. The definition has not been determined.

Some argue that the traditional definition is being born on US soil and having two american parents.

Obama supporters try to argue it just means being born here.
The Supreme court may have to decide.
 
You probably don't want THIS supreme court to decide.

OK, call me stupid, but how a namechange at 10 would also change the name on his BC? His BC shows the name what he was given when well, he was born...

Random facts: He was never officially adopted by his stepfather. (thus no name change back needed)

And before an idiot cries here: He used Soetoro when enrolling in school in Indonesia, but that doesn't prove or mean an official adoption. Clear now?

If you read the Constitution it states quite clearly “No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligibilie to the Office of President.” Washington was a Citizen at the time of the Adoption of the Constitution so he did not have to qualify for the natural born citzen part. The founding fathers were pretty clear in what they intended whether we follow it is another matter. I think that the most important point is that no Court, not even the Supreme Court is going to unseat a President on a legal challenge after he is sworn in. People are going to have start taking civic lessons again or something. Once Obama took that oath, he is the President, and only Congress can change that. The last time I check Congress seemed pretty happy he was elected. If this stuff is going to be challenged it has to be before the guy spends a billion dollars, an enitre nation votes, and he takes the oath of office. It is not doomsday because he got elected. The Republic will survive. Chester Arthur was not a “natural born citizen” and the Rebulic survivied. It will survive this time as well. I suggest everyone stop making fun of Arizona and follow their example in establishing some clear guidelines on establishing eligibility. Then you won’t have these rediculous problems or very brave and very misguided officers going to jail for trying to do the right thing. I really feel sorry for that guy Lakin, but no Judge, civil or military, is going to give him discovery into Obama’s BC. You guys on the left should be more curious about your own people and you guys on the right should take a deep breath and relax. President Obama is not the end of the world. If you don’t like him, vote for somebody else next time. (sorry for getting preachy.)
