Donofro’s case didn’t question where Obama was born, it started with the assumption that he was born in Hawaii. His case was to challenge what is defined as a natural born citizen, arguing original intent instead of what is recognized under Title 8.

No, but Mr. Donofrio's case was based on his concerns about Mr. Obama's father's status as a British/Kenyan citizen, and Mr. Obama's self-admitted dual citizenship deriving from his father's citizenship. The Donofrio case raised some interesting issues about natural-born citizenship no matter where the child was born.

Other cases are focused on the birthplace issue, and I hope that one of those makes progress.

I think that it is imperative that Mr. Obama produce all paperwork dealing with his complex citizenship issues: all birth records, both hospital and legal (and I would be unsurprised to find out that there are Kenyan papers, no matter where he was born, since I suspect that his father as a government employee was careful to file papers with regard to Mr. Obama's birth no matter where it might have occurred); all papers dealing with Mr. Obama's visa or citizenship in Indonesia; and produce all passports, both current and expired.

Publishing all documentation would cost Mr. Obama little, and it would serve our country well.
