Mr. Obama has a United States passport.

To get that credential , he had to show his birth certificate or other satisfactory evidence of citizenship.

Shouldn’t that be on file with the federal government?

Actually that isn't true. Until very recently there was a loophole that allowed someone to vouch for another in cases where there were no records. It was in a thread earlier today, I'll track it down and ping you to the post.

Other documents besides the birth certificate could be used until recently.

How does anyone know that Obama actually had a passport? Maybe the other countries were willing to waive the requirement since they love him so much. Our country seems willing to waive Constitutional requirements for the Messiah it appears to me.

>Mr. Obama has a United States passport.<

If you have enough cash, you can BUY a US passport anywhere in Europe or the Far East. What do you think is happening to the many US passports that disappear each day?

Actually, right now, I would guess Obama has a Diplomatic Passport which is probably issued under very different rules from the ones you and I must comply with. But even if he only had an ordinary Passport, many people who are not Constitutionally eligible to be President can legally obtain a US Passport. My father was one such person.

You don’t have to be a natural born citizen to get a passport.

I’m not sure Obama has a US Passport. As an elected official he gets some kind of form (someone else will remember the name of it) giving him permission to travel overseas representing the USofA.

I don’t think that those employees who breached his Passport actually saw a Passport. They may have TRIED, but I don’t think he has a US Passport. And if he does, it’s not in the name Obama. His legal name is (probably, high percentage of chance) “Soetoro” or the Americanization of the name “Sotoro.”

I’m not from Missouri, but “show me” the vault copy of Obama’s birth certificate and I’ll quit harping about it. Until then . . . .

That would have been a Letter of No Record if he received a passport before holding office. Those documents don't prove citizenship:

Mr. Obama has a United States passport.

Do you know that for a fact? Speculation has been that his recent foreign travel is on a diplomatic passport.
