“The biggest question is why Obama, if a Hawaii birth certificate exists, simply hasn’t ordered it made available to settle the rumors.”
In the first place he doesn’t have to, a passport will suffice. In the second place, he probably doesn’t want information revealed as to parentage, religion, etc. And thirdly, let’s say he is foreign born, it appears he is home free so why would he?
No it won't. A passport only certifies citizenship or nationality, not "natural born" citizenship. Arnold the Governator undoubtedly has a US passport, but he's not natural born, nor eligible to be President.
