Alan Keyes suing to prove Obama’s citizenship.

I know that you do not need to be a natural born citizen to get a passport. My point, my only point, is that at some point the State Department accepted as authentic the Birth Certificate that he must have submitted to get a passport. If someone is claiming that the Birth Certificate is a forgery, apparently the State Department didn't think so.

Also, you must submit a "certified" copy of the birth certificate, and not just a copy that you made on a Xerox machine.

*A certified birth certificate has a registrar's raised, embossed, impressed or multicolored seal, registrar’s signature, and the date the certificate was filed with the registrar's office, which must be within 1 year of your birth. Please note, some short (abstract) versions of birth certificates may not be acceptable for passport purposes.

If he was born abroad, he would have submitted a "Consular Report of Birth Abroad" .
