Two printed copies of Barack Obama’s ‘Certificate of Live Birth,’ 5 x 8 and 5 x 7, individually signed in black felt tip, "Barack Obama," and “Donald Trump.” The Obama certificate is encapsulated in a PSA/DNA authentication holder and the Trump certificate is encapsulated in a Beckett authentication holder. Both are matted and framed with White House portraits of Obama and Trump to an overall size of 29.25 x 21.25. In overall very fine condition.
In March 2011, Trump openly questioned Obama's citizenship and eligibility to serve as President. He played a leading role in 'birther' conspiracy theories and demanded that the White House release Obama's birth certificate. President Obama released a ‘long-form' version of his Hawaii birth certificate in response to the assertions that he was not a natural-born U.S. citizen. In September 2016, Trump publicly acknowledged that Obama was born in the United States.
