[§338-17.8] Certificates for children born out of State.

(a) Upon application of an adult or the legal parents of a minor child, the director of health shall issue a birth certificate for such adult or minor, provided that proof has been submitted to the director of health that the legal parents of such individual while living without the Territory or State of Hawaii had declared the Territory or State of Hawaii as their legal residence for at least one year immediately preceding the birth or adoption of such child.

(b) Proof of legal residency shall be submitted to the director of health in any manner that the director shall deem appropriate. The director of health may also adopt any rules pursuant to chapter 91 that he or she may deem necessary or proper to prevent fraudulent applications for birth certificates and to require any further information or proof of events necessary for completion of a birth certificate.

Many BHO supporters have pointed to the newspaper listing of his birth announcement as proof of his birth.  The newspaper listing is merely a vanity listing submitted to the paper since only a few of those appear each day and they are dwarfed by the number of kids actually born in Hawaii.  Just like marriage announcements, only a few are listed in comparison to all of the marriages performed in Hawaii.  Countless individuals have tried unsuccessfully to find anybody who may have worked at the hospitals and delivery rooms in 1961 to recall if such a birth took place.   In order to find out what actually took place regarding the Hawaii state records, the courts will have to demand that those records be opened.

The COLB (Certification of Live Birth) is built from source documents.  The doctor, nurse or midwife has to submit the paperwork to document the trail.  If he was born out of state and the COLB is by the mothers certification then that documentation would be in the record.  Currently, no one person has been able to find a shred of evidence to support the birth.

In BHO's books he talks about a different form of the birth record because he relates of how it included his birth weight.  The document produced by BHO and the DNC does not indicate his birth weight even though the COLB's issued by the State of Hawaii in 1961 did include the birth weight data. 

In Berg’s lawsuit, there are three different and overlapping disqualifying circumstances, any one of which would mean that Obama is not a “natural born citizen.” as the Constitution requires:

First, if Obama was born, not in Hawaii as he maintains, but in 1961 in Kenya, to a father, Barack Obama, Sr. who was a Kenyan citizen and to an American mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, who was an American citizen and 18 years of age at the time of Obama’s birth, Berg alleges, Obama would not have been born--under the U.S. citizenship laws then in effect--a “natural born citizen” of the U.S. and, in fact, the only way Obama could have gotten U.S. citizenship would have been to go through the naturalization process, and becoming a “naturalized citizen,”—and, incidentally, generating a boatload of official government paperwork--being a “naturalized citizen” Berg argues, is not the same thing as being a “natural born citizen” as the Constitution requires, so this would disqualify Obama.

Berg’s lawsuit alleges that, despite what Obama and his half sister Maya told reporters for the same Honolulu newspaper in separate interviews, each gave the name of a different hospital as the site of Obama’s birth.  Yet, there is no evidence to be found of an admission to any Honolulu hospital for Stanley Ann Dunham or for the birth of Obama in any Honolulu hospital, but researchers have found a birth record for a son, named Barack Obama, Jr. born in a Mombassa, Kenya hospital around the date Obama was supposed to have been born, whose father is listed as one Barack Obama, Sr. and whose mother was an American citizen.

The second allegation in Philip J. Berg’s suit, alleges that Obama would also be disqualified (http://tinyurl.com/5y24w2) if he holds citizenship in Kenya and/or Indonesia and if this is so, Berg argues, Obama is not only Constitutionally ineligible to run for President but he is also ineligible to hold his position as a United States Senator.

In his third allegation, Berg argues that Obama lost any U.S. citizenship he might have had and became a citizen of Indonesia--and Berg’s suit alleges that Obama traveled to Pakistan in 1981 on an Indonesian passport issued to him--by virtue of his mother’s marriage to her second husband, Indonesian citizen Lolo Soetoro and her and Obama’s residence in Indonesia. If U.S. law is as Berg states it is, Obama would have had to reapply for American citizenship, sometime after his 18th birthday, by appearing before on officer of the U.S. and swearing an Oath of Allegiance: easily proved if Obama did so, since such an event would, again, generate all sorts of official U.S. documentation; Berg argues that Obama never took this step and, therefore, never regained his U.S. citizenship.
