The US Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has required her  contestant from the Republicans Donald Trump to apologize to Barack Obama for the assumptions that the latter was born outside the US and according to the constitution could not have been elected as the US president.

Trump officially accepted that Obama was born in the US territory only this week. Earlier, Trump for many years was one of the leaders of an informal movement , which claimed that Obama was born in Kenya , where the future president's father was born . The White House finally yielded to the movement 's demands , spreading a copy of Obama's birth certificate . This happened in two years, after Obama had been elected as a president.

" Barack Obama was born in America, plain and simple, and Donald Trump owes him and the American people an apology… His [Trump’d]campaign was founded on this outrageous lie" said Clinton , speaking in Washington D.C. before the Union of African-American women. The speech was broadcasted by one of the American TV channels.

" We know who Donald is. For five years, he has led the birther movement to delegitimize our first black president. His campaign was founded on this outrageous lie…There is no erasing it in history," Clinton said. " Just yesterday, Trump again refused to say with his own words that the president was born in the United States," Clinton said, implying that Trump does not personally accept the fact that Obama was born in the US , but rather  through his spokesman .
