Obama Citizenship Debate

I have recently become aware of an on going debate over whether B. H. Obama is actually a citizen. The debate is over whether or not he was actually born in the State of Hawaii. From what I have seen/read it is said that Obama has not actually produced an original birth certificate but some records copy of some sort.

IF it was proved that he was not actually born in the U.S. the question of his citizenship would then fall to the legal circumstances of the citizenship of his mother. Also, it would take a symantic look at the clause in article 2, section 1 of the U.S. Constitution:

No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

Would the whole Democratic party and Obama himself really risk their whole campaign on a fraud that could be easily checked out by congress? All of this, however is moot seeing as the certificate is authentic. Please check the following links if you wont take my word for it.

This does not mean that I like him.
