How to apply for a US passport if you don't have a U.S. Birth Certificate. So there are a number of ways Obama could have obtained a U.S. passport if for some reason his U.S. Birth Certificate was not valid.
Just hypothetical thought... He traveled to Indonesia in his 20's on an Indonesian passport. Maybe he traveled to Kenya on the same passport? I've read somewhere that he never had a U.S. passport until his trip to Iraq and Europe this past summer.
If his birth certificate is somehow "flawed" and he doesn't want it exposed. He could have a close relative vouch for him in order to get a U.S. passport.
I can't remember, but didn't he and family travel to Hawaii after the primaries and before his trip to Europe? It would have been an opportunity for him to get an affidavit from his grandmother, under the passport rule below, without having to expose a flawed BC.
Just a thought.
"You may also submit an Affidavit of Birth form DS-10 from an older blood relative, i.e.: a parent, aunt, uncle or sibling who has personal knowledge of your birth. It must be notarized or show the seal and signature of the acceptance agent."
