Trump fails to produce birth certificate
Politico ^ | 03/28/2011 | Ben Smith

Posted on 03/28/2011 4:48:32 PM PDT by Smokeyblue

Donald Trump made headlines earlier today when he provided what he said was a copy of his birth certificate -- but a quick check reveals it's actually not an official document.

The paper that Trump released says "Jamaica Hospital" on top and lists the date and time of what he says was his birth to "Mr. and Mrs. Fred C. Trump." The piece of paper has a seal at the bottom.

But after several New York City-based readers contacted POLITICO's Maggie Haberman, her call to city officials revealed that an actual birth certificate, which is issued by the Department of Health, would have the agency's seal and also a signature of the city registrar - neither of which the Trump document has. Officials said the city Health Department is the "sole issuing authority" of official birth certificates in New York, and that the document would clearly say so, and "city officials said it's not an official document."

It appears instead to be a hospital "certificate of birth," meaning the piece of paper the hospital gave to his family saying he was born. Such a document typically has the signature of the hospital administrator and the attending physician.

Thanks for pointing out. Based on his forum history, he appears to be a one trick pony - spending all his energy defending Zero’s BC.

Makes you wonder if it is on a payroll or just a useful idiot.

Was she a citizen at the time of his birth? If yes - he’s eligible.

If Obama is proven to be ineligible then Biden is also out and can't be sworn in as President. The two of them are on one ticket, any part of the ticket invalidated invalidates the entire ticket.

The aforesaid takes us back to 20 January 2009 in front of the Capital. On that podium where five men, four of whom are disqualified. Say hello to President Cheney.

Trump is playing this perfectly. He will get everyone worked up on this and then release the long form real BC and keep this in the n ews.

Great job Donald.

There is going to be a lot more since the sabotage war announced by Soroses group the other day.

They actually said they are planning to infiltrate conservative sites.

So...we gotta watch and all that.

I was also born in 1946 in New York City, but Manhattan not Queens. My understanding is that anyone who wants a copy of my birth certificate (one that looks more like the Nordyke ones than Trumps does) just has to pay some nominal fee to the City with a proper request and they will have it. I think it gets marked as one not delivered to the person whose birth certificate it is, but otherwise has the same information and certification as I would get. At least, that's the way it was years ago when I obtained the copy I have here.

LMAO

Are these guys really reporters? Did you read this statement?

"Trump's mother, it should be noted, was born in Scotland, which is not part of the United States. His plane is registered in the Bahamas, also a foreign country. This fact pattern -- along with the wave of new questions surrounding what he claims is a birth certificate -- raises serious doubts about his eligibility to serve as President of the United States."

It took me (not a reporter) all of 2 minutes to locate the information on Trump's mother and that she was naturalized 2 or 3 years prior to Donald being born. What a bunch of morons!

And his plane is registered in the Bahamas????? WTH are they trying to get at? His plane is not a natural born plane? OMG
