If Obama was adopted his original (truthful) birth certificate was sealed by the State Of Hawaii and an amended (falsified) birth certificate was issued to him.

Why have a controversy like this? Just provide proof that our constitutional requirements have been observed. Its normal to provide proof of birth to get an operators license for a car. The presidency of this republic is much more important than a drivers license.

“QUIXOTIC ATTEMPT, TILTING AT WINDMILLS”

April 16, 2010
Judge Dismisses Suit by Birther Activist Orly Taitz
A federal judge has dismissed a Washington lawsuit by “birther” activist Orly Taitz challenging President Barack Obama’s citizenship.
Taitz, a dentist and lawyer from California known for her occasional TV news appearances, filed a “quo warranto” complaint challenging Obama’s status as a natural born citizen and demanding that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton provide a copy of the president’s birth certificate.
The case landed with Chief Judge Royce Lamberth of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, who, suffice it to say, was having none of it.
“This is one of several such suits filed by Ms. Taitz in her quixotic attempt to prove that President Obama is not a natural born citizen as required by [the] Constitution,” Lamberth wrote in a decision published on April 14. “This Court is not willing to go tilting at windmills with her.”

I believe no one has read the actual bill. NOWHERE does it state that Arizona will ask for a Birth Certificate. Here is the quote and the link:
