Obama releases full birth certificate
President Obama says he’ll release his long-form birth certificate to end the “distraction” and “silliness” of questions about where he was born.
As the Associated Press reports, polls show many Republicans doubt Obama is a natural born citizen, and potential GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump has taken up the cause. The document to be released is a supplement of the one issued by Hawaii that Obama released during his campaign.
