Because he is, "THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES", and in that position as, "leader of the free world", he is charged with ensuring the nation he swore to defend is not ruled by a man who is ineligible to assume the office. This issue, above all other, rises to the level of everything we hold constitutionally sacred. If a sitting President can't/won't defend the sanctity of the highest office in our country his presidency is not only traitorous, it makes fools of all that voted for him -- TWICE!
How do we get a court somewhere to demand this document be verified before Mr Obama takes office? That is the issue.
I feel all candidates for President should show similar documents, I am not limiting it to this one person either.
I want equality of how this would be treated.
