Being a natural born U. S. Citizen IS a requirement to be a United States President.
The passport argument was a diversion, a type of Straw Man.
I have a serbian friend who is a resident alien. She has a passport that even allows for tempoprary visitor passports for her parents and sister.
To get a passport you have to provide certain documents.
A COLB is not one of them. Not even for secondary evidence.
I know people in MD who have been turned down for a SSN and for a passport when trying to use a COLB.

BTW, I think research has shown that obama’s SSN was issued in Connecticut. Explain that one.
The passport thing came up because the first passport BHO held was when he became a Senator. Prior to that, he travelled to Indonesia. How’d he do that without a US passport? Simple, he did it with an Indonesian one, or some other passport.
The question was how he came by those.
