The “birth certificate” issue is tangential. If it were produced I, personally, would “trust but verify”. My point is, however, that the certificate itself is irrelevant. Barry Soetoro is the son of a British subject. He lacks “singular allegiance” to the United States of America. The only citizens excused from this requirement were those living at the time of the signing of Constitution. Accepting Mr. Obama as POTUS opens the door for any foreign despot (Putin, Ahmadinejad, Kim Jong-il, etc.) to father a child in America and purchase (usurp) the leadership of the United States for that child in due time. The Founders took precautions against that possibility, and we would be wise to enforce them.
now this adds fuel to the fire

How would you verify?
I believe that is immaterial IF he was born on American soil in an American hospital. Today, we confer citizenship on Mexican babies born in American hospitals on the border. Those children are the offspring of Mexicans, but we still give them all the rights of citizenship.
I believe that the British citizenship issue should have been resolved by his 18th birthdate. I believe that to be an American citizen, he was supposed to declare his citizenship by that time. If he did not do that, then his dual citizenship could, indeed, be an issue.
