Again, in Minor v. Happersett (1874), the Supreme Court said that, if you were born in the United States and both of your parents were U.S. citizens at the time of your birth, you are, without doubt, a natural born citizen. In the same case, the Supreme Court also said that, if you were born in the United States and one of your parents was not a U.S. citizen when you were born, your natural born citizenship IS IN DOUBT.
Since that case, the Supreme Court has never again touched upon the issue. Which means that all of your arguments ARE IN DOUBT.

Uh no, you prove to me that Obama was born off US soil. I done my part. For somebody who buys this conspiracy your certainly a sorry excuse for having any evidence what so ever.

A separate WND investigation into Obama's certification of live birth utilizing forgery experts also found the document to be authentic. The investigation also revealed methods used by some of the bloggers to determine the document was fake involved forgeries, in that a few bloggers added text and images to the certificate scan that weren't originally there.

Now I offer you a challenge: Try to find a copy of George Bush Jr, Bill Clinton, George Bush Sr or Ronald Reagan's birth certificate online.
I guess since none of these former presidents have made their long-forms, or even short-forms public, they must also have been born outside the country.
If you still can't accept that, then I imagine you have difficulty believing the sky is blue.

there is evidence Obama was not born in U.S. , such as his Grandmother saying he was born in Kenya.

The other thing the birth certificate he presented does not mean anything except he was born, it does not state he was born in U.S. or on Moon.

As I have shown previously in this thread, we know the exact birth places of every other President of the United States except for Truman to at least the 1920's, I will ask you the same question Southern Guardian has been dodging:
Where precisely was Barack Obama Born?
Barack Obama was born in Hawai`i, August 4, 1961 at Kapiolani Medical Center in Honolulu.
What do you mean they clearly gave two hospitals Obama was born at, how many do you want three.

Not just the City and State, which BTW on a certification of Live Birth are supplied by either the Parent or Relative, not an unrelated third party. Until very recently the State of Hawaii would not except just a Certification of Live Birth from Hawaii as proof of birth in Hawaii for the Department of Hawaiian Homelands. I am sure you can answer such a seemingly simple question right???? Please tell us exactly where he was born.

Actually, I'd like to see the long-form certificate. But wait, Obama can't/won't produce it.
Asked for more information about the short-form versus long-form birth documents, Okubo said the Health Department "does not have a short-form or long-form certificate."
"The birth certificate form has been modified over the years and decades to conform to national standards and models," she said.
Okubo also emphasized the certification form "contains all the information needed by all federal government agencies for transactions requiring a birth certificate."

You can add that one to your list.
If the only evidence you can provide to "prove" Obama wasn't born in the US is your own inability to perform a simple Google search, then why are you even on these forums?

Its rather pointless as i said before it doesn't matter anymore its to late. He would never be impeached for this.
However, contrary to what the few media outlets who are giving this outrageous claim any attention at all have concurred, what the Obama campaign supplied was not, in fact, a "birth certificate". What they supplied was actually a "Certificate of Live Birth." There is a major difference between a "birth certificate" and a "Certificate of Live Birth." Aside from the level of detail differentiating the documents (hospital of record, doctor, height, weight, etc) - in the state of Hawaii, one authenticates natural born citizenship, and the other doesn't. This part is important, and again - it has nothing to do with tin foil hats. Per the State of Hawaii's Department of Health, "Amended certificates of birth may be prepared and filed with the Department of Health, as provided by law, for 1) a person born in Hawaii who already has a birth certificate filed with the Department of Health or 2) a person born in a foreign country." (For citation purposes, please feel free to visit their site: hawaii.gov...) Why is this important? The "Certificate of Live Birth" provided by Obama, is in fact, a derivative of the "Amended certificates of birth" they site. Why is that important? Because per the second clause in the above citation, while you may earn citizenship via such a document, you do not necessarily earn "natural born" citizenship. "Natural born citizenship" is what is required to be eligible to be considered for the Presidency, per the United States Constitution. So where does this leave us? Well for starters, it leaves many of us....some in tin foil hats, some not....wondering why the Obama campaign did not supply the definitive, actual, long-form birth certificate. Contentions are, because one such authentic certificate does not exist.
When the Obama campaign, after several unrequited requests, did finally submit the "Certificate of Live Birth", in an effort to more formally properly vet and lend credence to the Senator's run for the Presidency - which governing body did they submit it to? Was it to the Board of Elections? No, not there. Was it to the Federal Elections Commission? No, not there either. Well then it must have been to the Democratic National Committee, right? Wrong again. The Obama campaign chose as their advocate-for-legitimacy, none other than www.factcheck.org. Yes, a non-governing, unofficial website. Adding further mystification and fuel to the "conspiracy whack job" fire....like it or not, www.factcheck.org is a product and entity of the Annenberg Foundation; the very foundation that coupled Barack Obama with Bill Ayers, and Senator Obama worked so vigorously to denounce. "Hey, come on. Now you're just getting too far fetched." Facts are facts. However, let's get away from the fact that the sole body the Obama campaign relied on to provide legitimacy to his "Certificate of Live Birth" was birthed itself, from the very Foundation that partnered Senator Obama with Bill Ayers. There is still yet another legitimate question, barring that fact: Why a website?.... Why not the Board of Elections? Why not the Federal Election Commission? Why not the Democratic National Committee? It may very well be because they likely chose not to draw undue attention to "proof" that they ultimately knew was accompanied by zero actual credibility. By handing a "Certificate of Live Birth" over to a true governing body as "proof", the burden is then on that governing body to put their own credibility on the line and provide advocacy for that proof. Rather, however, given the illegitimacy of a "Certificate of Live Birth" as being proof of anything at all regarding natural born citizenship, they would have been forced to effectively say, "This means nothing. And now that you've brought it our attention, and asked for us to put our name on the line as complicit in validating your 'natural born citizenship', we're going to need the actual birth certificate. And if you can't provide it, apologetically, we absolutely can't cite what you've given us as validation." So what did they do? They sent it to www.factcheck.org, knowing full well it would be embraced and credited by the allegedly non-partisan website. And who stepped up after that and asked questions? No one. Wait, that's wrong....the "nut job, tin foil-hat-wearing right wing conspiracy theorists" did.
