What's annoying about Donald Trump's latest PR campaign, the one focused on President Obama's birth certificate, is that it's devoid of any real factual information.
My findings are not based on something created by the Feds to help the current president, but the discovery of a document called "REPORT OF THE PANEL TO EVALUATE THE U.S. STANDARD CERTIFICATES" and focuses on the ever-changing requirements for something called a "Certificate Of Live Birth," which is a "birth certificate."
The Federal National Center for Health Statistics, Division of Vital Statistics prepared the particular report that's referenced here in April 2000 and it was updated in 2001, long before Barack Obama's rise to power. The document sets standards for what is called "the degree of uniformity" of certificates from state to state in America. In other words, making sure there's some similarity between the state documents.
It reads there have been 11 revisions to what is called the "Standard Certificate of Live Birth," and that is the only document that applies to the recording of the event of a live birth. There is no section that reads that a birth certificate is a higher standard of birth over a "Certificate Of Live Birth."
Nothing.
The other problem for Donald Trump and "The Birthers" is that they never refer to the standards for the "Certificate Of Live Birth" at the time President Obama was born: August 4th, 1961.
A cursory look will reveal that the document is in line with the requirements of that time. It's not logical to look at today's guidelines because the law does not call for annual updating of past written certificates of live birth. If that were the case, every American would be issued a new document every time guidelines were changed - a costly process to say the least.
Donald Trump Please Shut Up About Obama
It's for those reasons that this blogger asked Mr. Trump to, plainly, just plain shut up about President Obama's Certificate Of Live Birth and running for President.
