President Barack Obama releases the long-form version of his birth certificate in response to ongoing claims that he was not born in the United States. This effectively put an end to the "birther" conspiracy theory.

1. Obama's long-form birth certificate release:
In April 2011, President Obama did release his long-form birth certificate, which confirmed his natural-born citizen status and eligibility for the presidency.
This release significantly weakened the "birther" conspiracy theory, which falsely claimed Obama wasn't born in the US.
However, it didn't entirely end the conspiracy theory. Some individuals continued to promote it despite the evidence.
2. Persistence of the "birther" conspiracy:
The "birther" conspiracy theory was deeply rooted in racist and xenophobic sentiment. For some, the evidence simply wasn't enough to sway their pre-existing beliefs.
Donald Trump was a prominent figure who amplified the birther conspiracy theory for political gain, even after Obama released his birth certificate.
Though many Republicans eventually distanced themselves from the theory, it continued to find a foothold within certain segments of the population.
3. Conclusion:
While Obama's birth certificate release significantly undermined the "birther" theory, it's more accurate to say it weakened it substantially rather than ending it completely.
The conspiracy theory's persistence highlights the power of misinformation and pre-existing biases.
I personally downloaded the birth certificate from whitehouse.gov, opened it in photoshop, and saw the manipulated layers with my own eyes. They did a sloppy job and this is snopes-quality deboonking.
