Eagle Forgotten: You could easily find out who delivered you by asking the city clerk’s office for a copy of your original birth certificate. You CAN get it, if you ask. The certified copies serve for some purposes, but if you need to see a copy of the original, they will dig it out of the archives and make a copy for you....

Let me clarify: I'm not lying awake nights wondering whether it was Dr. Bakumbo who delivered me. I've never tried to get a more detailed document so I have no idea what my city clerk's office has. My only point was to disagree with freedumb2003 (post #18) who seemed to think that you needed that kind of information to get a passport.

Of course, you can get a passport without being eligible to be President. I'm just saying that Obama's having a passport doesn't prove that he at one point presented a more detailed document (or that he somehow got around a legal requirement).

No problem. Thanks for the clarification. It’s a good point that you don’t need as much information to get a passport as a person SHOULD need to prove presidential eligibility.

It’s interesting that FactCheck’s original story about the COLB stressed that it contains all the information necessary to get a passport. Why? Because it was photographed in Chicago, by their representatives, only days before the State Dept. passport files were “cauterized” by John Brennan’s contract employee.

One could almost think that the COLB was somehow “obtained” in order to be used in some way during that gambit.
