The truth about Obama's birth
certificate.
Summary
In June, the Obama campaign
released a digitally scanned image of his birth certificate to quell speculative
charges that he might not be a natural-born citizen. But the image prompted more
blog-based skepticism about the document's authenticity. And recently, author Jerome Corsi, whose book attacks Obama, said in
a TV interview that the birth certificate the campaign has is "fake."
We beg to differ. FactCheck.org staffers have now seen, touched, examined and photographed the original birth certificate. We conclude that it meets all of the requirements from the State Department for proving U.S. citizenship. Claims that the document lacks a raised seal or a signature are false. We have posted high-resolution photographs of the document as "supporting documents" to this article. Our conclusion: Obama was born in the U.S.A. just as he has always said.
Update, Nov. 1: The director of Hawaii’s Department of Health confirmed Oct. 31 that Obama was born in Honolulu.
