Hmm. That muddies the waters a bit.

However, the Lucas Smith certificate looks NOTHING like known authentic certificates from Kenya during that era. This from no less a source than World Net Daily, who’ve done their best to drive the eligibility issue:

This is not 100% conclusive (forms could have changed), but at this point I’d say the burden of proof is on anyone claiming authenticity for the Lucas Smith document.

Further note on Mombasa: In 1920 it became capital of the British Protectorate of Kenya. Mombasa officially belonged to Zanzibar from 1895 to 1963 when it was ceded to the newly independent Kenya. Mombasa grew rapidly in the 20th century.

...at this point I’d say the burden of proof is on anyone claiming authenticity for the Lucas Smith Barack Hussein Obama II document.

We know that Barack Hussein Obama was not 25 years old in 1961!

I think the Lucas Smith paper is genuine.

At intervals, there has popped up a story of how the kid was born in Kenya because of the parents travel being held up by weather, so the birth and the birthing doctor was there, but there was a new examination and registration as soon as they got to Hawaii. The would match exactly with the analysis by “The Daily Pen”, and explain why a whole load of vital data (mandatory in most locations) are missing from the colb.
