The certificate is irrelevant! His parentage disqualifies his holding the office of POTUS!
In my opinion, a careful, fair-minded student of history and semantics could not avoid the conclusion that a person of Obama's self-proclaimed parentage does indeed fall outside the founders' intended definition of "natural born citizen" in Article II. Nevertheless, to my dismay, the overwhelming majority of those who have any legal authority appear to be quite convinced that "two citizen parents" is not a requirement. That of course doesn't make them right, but it does urge me to attend to other potential fronts on which this battle can be advanced.
My point is that I think we are behooved NOT to regard the certificate as irrelevant! Given that there are numerous clear indicators that the document does not accurately represent an authentic original, there is sitting before us plentiful evidence that the White House website is being used to convey a fraudulent, forged document purporting to remove all doubt of Obama's identity and eligibility. While I support ongoing efforts to see Article II recognized as what it was intended to mean, I will certainly not therefore, turn a blind eye to the direct evidence of punishable, criminal forgery.
In fact, the reality that the Birth Certificate is forged, leaves us to even wonder whether the official line on Obama's parents is accurate at all. It could be that he was indeed born to two citizen parents on U.S. soil after all, but that would still implicate him as a natural born criminal forger.
I refuse to dismiss our de facto Commander in Chief from the penalty due him for his scheme to hide behind a forged birth certificate. Why should we not seek to hold the Obama administration accountable for this unprecedented defrauding of We the People? Bringing the forgers to justice stands as a fully worthy pursuit independent of the matter of Obama's claimed parentage.
The reason that the congressional Republicans won’t touch this issue is because they woud have to disavow the word of fellow Republicans, like the previous Governor of Hawaii, Linda Lingle who said:
“You know, during the campaign of 2008, I was actually in the mainland campaigning for Sen. McCain. This issue kept coming up so much in the campaign, and again I think it’s one of those issues that is simply a distraction from the more critical issues that are facing the country. And so I had my health director, who is a physician by background, go personally view the birth certificate in the birth records of the Department of Health, and we issued a news release at that time saying that the president was, in fact, born at Kapi’olani Hospital in Honolulu, Hawaii. And that’s just a fact. And yet people continue to call up and e-mail and want to make it an issue. And I think it’s, again, a horrible distraction for the country by those people who continue this. ... It’s been established. He was born here.”—Governor Linda Lingle, R-HI.

And, the Director of Health for Hawaii under Governor Lingle’s administration:

Any committee chair in the House Of Representatives could issue a congressional subpoena for Obama’s original birth certificate in order to compare it to the whitehouse.gov version, but none of them will go near this issue. I believe it is because of Governor Lingle’s and Dr. Fukino’s assurances.
You say. . .

You may be onto something there.
