Sincerely,

Obama has put forth only a “Certification of live birth”, which is NOT A Birth Certificate!

After months and months of unrequited requests, the Obama campaign did finally present a document which they claimed validated his eligibility (per the Constitution of the Unted States, Article II, Section I) as a “Natural born citizen” to have his name on the ballot in contention for the office of the President of the United States of America.

However, what the Obama campaign supplied was not, in fact, a “birth certificate”. What they supplied was actually a “Certificate of Live Birth.” There is a major difference between a “birth certificate” and a “Certificate of Live Birth.”

Aside from the level of detail differentiating the documents (hospital of record, doctor, height, weight, etc) - in the state of Hawaii, one authenticates natural born citizenship, and the other doesn’t. This part is important; - it has nothing to do with tin foil hats.

Per the State of Hawaii’s Department of Health, “Amended certificates of birth may be prepared and filed with the Department of Health, as provided by law, for 1) a person born in Hawaii who already has a birth certificate filed with the Department of Health or 2) a person born in a foreign country.” (For citation purposes, please feel free to visit their site: http://hawaii.gov/health/vital-records/vital-records/index.html ).

The “Certificate of Live Birth” provided by Obama, is in fact, a derivative of the “Amended certificates of birth” they site. Why is that important? Because of that second clause in the above citation. While you may show citizenship via such a document, you do not necessarily prove “natural born” citizenship. “Natural born citizenship” is what is required to be eligible to be considered for the Presidency, per the United States Constitution.

The form Obama posted wouldn’t even be acceptable to make an application in Hawaii’s Home Lands Program!

From: http://hawaii.gov/dhhl/applicants/appforms/applyhhl

In order to process your application, DHHL utilizes information that is found only on the original Certificate of Live Birth, which is either black or green. This is a more complete record of your birth than the Certification of Live Birth (a computer-generated printout). Submitting the original Certificate of Live Birth will save you time and money since the computer-generated Certification requires additional verification by DHHL.

There is a further complication, however. His subsequent adoption by Lolo Soetoro and resultant INDONESIAN citizenship is a bigger fly in his ointment. (I laugh whenever reference is made to “citizen of the WORLD’… Obama truly is a WORLD CITIZEN!)

Indonesia, at the time Obama lived there and was deemed an Indonesian citizen, did not recognize dual citizenship, and neither did the US recognize dual citizenship with Indonesia. Thus, whether he held dual citizenship with the US and Kenya, whether he was born in the US or Kenya, or even - as some suggest - CANADA, is irrelevant as the ONLY legitimate citizenship he held once his adopted father moved him to Indonesia was Indonesian! His US Citizenship would be forfeit!

Whether and when Barry Soetoro/Barack Obama might have regained US Citizenship thereafter, it would be thru NATURALIZATION and that is SPECIFICALLY and EXPRESSLY ineligible to serve as President of the United States under Title II. (Could this be why he uses the politically risky name Barack Hussein Obama instead of the more innocuous “Barry Soetoro”? Perhaps Barry Soetoro is STILL an Indonesian citizen? Perhaps there are naturalization papers in the name of Barry Soetoro? I’m just asking…)

Donofrio’s is the only case that addresses that he would be ineligible even it said Hawaii as place of birth.

Obama was a British Citizen at birth as well as a US Citizen. Even factcheck.org confirms this, and Obama himself. If he was a Dual Ditizen at birth (at birth is the important bit) he cannot be a Natural Born Citizen.

According to the grandfather clause in Article 2 Section 1 of the Constitution, the President must either be a Natural Born Citizen of the USA, or a Citizen of the USA at the time the Constitution was written.

“No person except a Natural Born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution shall be eligible to the Office of President; ”

This clause was added so that the forefathers could become President themselves, because they realised they were not Natural Born Citizens because they were British Citizens too (or had been at birth even if they since renounced it) as was EVERYBODY in North America at the time.

Natural Born Citizen as a term is defined nowhere in the Constitution other than through a logical interpretation of the grandfather clause. If this is not the logical interpretation, why is the grandfather clause ie Citizens alive when the Constituion was written etc, even in Constitution at all!

Watch Donofrio’s case - his is the important one that covers ALL the issues - he has included all issues raised by other plaintiffs.
