The certification of live birth, that was released in 2008, is legally binding. It has been used by others, including politicians. The administration had to make a special request from the state of Hawaii to get the long-form certificate released. Typically, the state only releases the shorter, computer-generated live birth certification when people request such documentation.

If Donald wants to get in front of cameras and pat himself on the back for harassing the President over a non-issue, he can (and that's very Don-like). The way I see it, he's exhausted his political muscle, and the sensational sideshow has packed up and went home.

As Boehner's office said: "This has long been a settled issue."

Now our Republican Party can focus on real candidates and start getting into the real issues.

From your keyboard to the powers that be....
