No but it is against our laws for a non-us citizen to take office as POTUS.. I agree that he should have to show the godamn thing.. My current belief is that at this point in time, there has been so much controversy about it that even if he shows it to be valid, I would question whether its a legitimate document or not. It would devastate the govt if they realized after the fact that he is in fact not eligible for the office he currently has. The govt would cover it up before removing him from office or admitting that he is not a natural born citizen. And to your point SAM... If I speed, is it the end of the world.. Answer - NO but if I get caught, I damn sure will get a ticket. Same concept. Law is Law and he should be required to follow it just like the rest.
