Why is Trumps "certificate of live birth" not a real birth certificate?

Why is Trumps "certificate of live birth" not a real birth certificate, but Obama's "certificate of live birth" is a real birth certificate?

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2011/03...

"A 'birth certificate' and a 'certificate of live birth' are in no way the same thing, even though in some cases they use some of the same words," Thuy Colayco, from Trump's staff, wrote to ABC News. "One officially confirms and records a newborn child’s identity and details of his or her birth, while the other only confirms that someone reported the birth of a child. Also, a 'certificate of live birth' is very easy to get because the standards are much lower, while a 'birth certificate' is only gotten through a long and detailed process wherein identity must be proved beyond any doubt."

Update:

In Calgary, Canada they sound like Texans. Does this make them Texans?

No it does not.

They are still Canadians.

In some areas of Canada they sound just like Americans. Does this make them American? No it does not. They are still Canadians.

There are many 5th generation Americans that still have accents. They are still Americans.

The way you speak does not make someone an American only being born in America can make someone American.

    Mr. Calayco knows these things to be true because he went to the offices for Mr. Trump. The principal, in question, must obtain the "complete"or "perfected" certificate which is required by "Law"in most states."Power of Attorney" isn't enough without additional reason & documentation. I can't say all states because Hawaii , "hangs loose"& in Texas, it's the "hook'em horns"

    Any one can claim to be an American & I welcome them, BUT are they Born here or Naturalized & are They in "Good Standing". That should be taken to mean "Not under indictment ", Convicted Felon or simply examined extensively for the qualities the Law requires of every one.

    No exceptions or exemptions including TAXES, aimed at Timmy G.

    Trumps mouth guy spouted words. None of his words mean anything.

    The short form or long form are equally valid and authentic documents which conclusively prove obamas date and place of birth.

    Oh, wait. Birthers don't get it. Their arguments are the hoax.

    The state office of vital statistics IS the authority, who validated the facts a long time ago. You choose to believe a hoax, that is your right.

    Both of trumps documents are legal and valid. Can't say the same for his thought process.

    You can spend the next hundred years, and not recognize that the dispute about long form vs short form is false.

    Trump did release his ACTUAL Birth Certificate (unlike Obama).

    How hard is it to understand the difference between a Certificate of Live Birth and a Birth Certificate?

    Trumps was not even an official certificate of live birth or birth certificate.You can get the kind he presented at any church baptismal ceremony. Do some research Beck.

    This is confusing to me, I have a certificate of live birth with the birth date, parents name, my foot prints and it is registered with the register of deeds office of vital statistics section in the county of my birth. That is all I have and in all my years I have never been asked to produce anything other then this document. When I have requested a copy of my birth certificate this document is what I have received

    I found that story to be interesting. Trump is supposed to be a master at marketing yet he does exactly what he is accusing Obama of. Not a great way for him to build credibility with Americans or to build his brand which is what he wants to do.

    Cons love to talk about "States Rights"...

    ...and then get confused and upset when not every State does things exactly the same why.

    His second one is the real deal. He had it reissued.

    0bama could try that if Hawaii can find it.
