Why would someone have kept a folded copy of this document for four decades

you didn't think that through very well did you....it's a birth certificate...same for a DD 214...kept much longer than that!

You should have read my post more thoroughly. I went on to say, "No one, other than a parent or guardian, would keep such a thing for that long. If this had been filed in some government office in Kenya, it would have been filed flat, not folded..." What I meant was that, unless this document was obtained from the estates of either of BHO's parents, it is unlikely to have been in any one else's possession. No one but a parent would have reason to keep such a thing for four decades.

But spycatcher in post 3517 may have provided a clue:

The first tell are the folds of this document. In having examined documents of this period and more recent documents, they in group are all folded into these little office yello sized envelopes, usually with a window inside to reveal contents. For this to be a forgery, the forger would have to know exactly this process in which birth certificates are in copy handed out to the public. It might sound like a simple thing, but those folds are the one thing which someone would overlook.
