So your basic premise is a presidential candidate doesn’t need to show a real birth certificate?

I think that's a basic fact from history. Presidential candidates usually had unambiguous origins but Obama has a foreign parent. I'm not aware of any others with that circumstance, but haven't checked into it.

Obama may have a foreign parent. But he also has a foreign view of the United States Constitution, and of his obligation to abide by it.
