It's because his grandparents completed a form for tribal births and submitted the completed form as evidence of birth. That also triggered the two newspaper notifications.Quote from Tsing Tao:
i agree, it's completely ridiculous.
which, of course, continues to beg the question why Obama simply won't say "HERE IT IS. SHUT UP NOW".
Quote from OPTIONAL777:
...not only his birth certificate, but wait until he gets vetted and the skeletons come out of his closet.

That is just the surface of the iceberg that is Christie.
Quote from pspr:
That's why Obama will NEVER release his original birth records.
Quote from good ole boy:
Christie sounds great. And his common touch is remarkable. The problem, is he has issued false claims on significant issues.
And by the way, where is his birth certificate?
Quote from Hello:
Obama has lied about more significant issues then i have ever seen out of any president in modern history.
Given how blunt Christie is, I would imagine that he will release his birth certificate the second the question is raised.
Quote from Pekelo:
Hey, let me cause a little distraction here with the racism issue and so jem can be happy about the not exact legal definition of "natural born citizen":
"McCain was born in the panama canal zone, and at the time of birth, he was not a citizen of the united states. He was granted citizenship retroactively by a later law.
The supreme court has never ruled on whether retroactive granting of citizenship does in fact make one a "natural born citizen" as the constitution requires, and in fact there are conflicted legal opinions of whether he is a natural born citizen....
The fact that the media completely ignored this issue while harping on the Obama birther issue just proves the point. White guy = fine, black guy = OMG, trouble..."
