Obama to lay 'birther' controversy to rest
- 13 years ago
President Barack Obama responded on Wednesday to conservative critics, pundits and potential presidential hopefuls who have been increasingly vocal with a theory alleging he was not born in the United States. The White House released a long-form birth certificate to lay to rest the conspiracy theory which has been touted by politicians and the likes of likely presidential candidate Donald Trump. US presidents and vice presidents must be natural born citizens of the United States.Duration: 01:30
