I find it strange that anyone who is going to be President doesn’t have to produce a long form birth certificate. Along with school transcripts. Like you do on most normal jobs.

I guess the jobs all those millions of illegals have don’t count as “normal”.

I would agree with you on a compulsory production of a long form birth certificate in order to run for POTUS, but the reason for having to produce such documentation has nothing to do with "most normal jobs." It's because of the requirements necessary to be President stated in the Constitution of the United States. If you are not a Natural Born Citizen, who is at least 35 years old, and who has lived in the US at least 14 years, you don't qualify and you can't hold the office. Simple as that!

As for school transcripts, they are not constitutionally necessary to be POTUS. Abraham Lincoln, for example, couldn't produce any.

Along with school transcripts.

I have never had to provide a school transcript for any job I applied to.
