AP: In Hawaii, Accessing Some (Basic) Obama Birth Info Is Easy

HONOLULU (AP) — Lost in the renewed scrutiny into President Barack Obama’s birth records is the fact that anyone can walk into a Hawaii vital records office, wait in line behind couples getting marriage licenses and open a baby-blue government binder containing basic information about his birth.
Highlighted in yellow on page 1,218 of the thick binder is the computer-generated listing for a boy named Barack Hussein Obama II born in Hawaii, surrounded by the alphabetized last names of all other children born in-state between 1960 and 1964. This is the only government birth information, called “index data,” available to the public.
So far this month, only The Associated Press and one other person had looked at the binder, according to a sign-in sheet viewed Wednesday in the state Department of Health building. The sheet showed about 25 names of people who have seen the document since March 2010, when the sign-in sheet begins.
Those documents complement newspaper birth announcements published soon after Obama’s Aug. 4, 1961 birth and a “certification of live birth” released by the Obama campaign three years ago, the only type of birth certificate the state issues.
So-called “birthers” claim there’s no proof Obama was born in the United States, and he is therefore ineligible to be president. Many of the skeptics suggest he was actually born in Kenya, his father’s home country, or Indonesia where he spent a few years of his childhood.
Possible Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has repeatedly stoked the birther fires recently, and last month called on Obama to “show his birth certificate.” Trump said he has investigators in Hawaii searching for more information.
“Nobody has come in and said they’re investigating for Donald Trump,” said Department of Health spokeswoman Janice Okubo, who acknowledged they could’ve come in without identifying themselves as representing Trump.
What the would-be sleuths won‘t find is Obama’s “long-form birth certificate,” a confidential one-page document containing his original birth records kept on file in the first floor of the Department of Health.
Those original birth records typically include additional birth details, such as the hospital and delivering doctor, said Dr. Chiyome Fukino, the state‘s former health director who twice looked at and publicly confirmed Obama’s original long-form birth records.
But those documents are state government property that can’t be released to anyone, even the president himself, said Joshua Wisch, special assistant to the state attorney general. Obama would be able to inspect his birth records if he visited the Health Department in person, but original records of live birth are never released, he said.
Fukino, who served as the state’s health director until late last year under former Republican Gov. Linda Lingle, said in an interview with The Associated Press she’s convinced the long-form document is authentic. She issued public statements in 2008 and 2009 saying she had seen the original records.
“It is absolutely clear to me that he was born here in Hawaii,” Fukino told the AP. “It should not be an issue, and I think people need to focus on the other bad things going on in our country and in our state and figure out what we’re going to do about those things.”
Before Obama’s campaign released his certification of live birth in 2008, he or someone with a tangible interest had to make a written request and pay a $10 fee to receive it, Okubo said. Wisch also said Obama obtained a copy of his own certification of live birth and publicly released it.
State privacy laws prevent a certification of live birth from being released to anyone except those with a tangible interest, such as the person named by the birth record or a close family member.
The document is generated by computer, based on original birth records on file with the state, Fukino said.
New Health Director Loretta Fuddy, a Democratic appointee, declined to comment.
Last week, Republican Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer vetoed a bill that would have required presidential candidates to prove their U.S. citizenship before their names could appear on the state’s ballot — which was widely viewed as targeting Obama — calling it a “bridge too far.”
But the birther conspiracy theory refuses to go away. The latest New York Times-CBS News poll found that 45 percent of adult Republicans said they believe Obama was born in another country, and 22 percent said they don’t know. Only one-third of Republicans said they believe the president is native born. The same poll a year ago found that a plurality of Republicans believed the president was born in the U.S.
Obama said in an interview with ABC News this month that Republicans sowing doubts about whether he’s American-born may gain politically in the short term by playing to their constituencies, but will have trouble when the general election rolls around.
“Just want to be clear — I was born in Hawaii,” the president said at a fundraiser in his hometown of Chicago.
Newspaper birth announcements appeared in both The Honolulu Advertiser and The Honolulu Star-Bulletin in the weeks after he was born.
The Aug. 13, 1961 announcement in the Advertiser appears on page B-6 of the Sunday edition, next to classified ads for carpentry work and house repair.
It says, “Mr. and Mrs. Barack H. Obama, 6085 Kalanianaole Hwy., son, Aug. 4.” The address belonged to the parents of Ann Dunham, Obama’s mother.
A similar announcement appeared the following day on page 24 of the Star-Bulletin.

——————————————————————————
[§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.
(c) The fee for each application for registration shall be established by rule adopted pursuant to chapter 91. [L 1982, c 182, §1]

Posted on April 24, 2011 at 7:39amObama was “selected, before he was elected”. This socialist progressive was groomed by Soros and buddies even before he became a senator. Obama grew up within a circle of radicals like Bill Ayers, and now he’s imparting his ideals and values on We, the People. Just like the days of McCarthy, our government has been infiltrated. Look at the Czars and their philosophies. When these progressive libs won’t stand with their hands over their hearts and recite “One Nation, under God,” we’re in serious trouble.

It doesn’t matter *after*.

Posted on April 23, 2011 at 7:07pmYou guys clearly have not read the law. First of all, it states no where in the constitution the exact definition of a natural born citizen so there is your first flaw. Secondly, it is, however, stated in the United States Code http://uscode.house.gov/pdf/2008/2008usc08.pdf in section 1401 (search it on the page) that a natural born citizen is one who is born on United States soil, regardless of nationality or citizenship of the parents. So no matter where his parents are from or what citizenship they hold, he is a natural born citizen as he was born in Hawaii, soil belonging to the United States. Before you begin bashing others for not reading the Constitution, remember to do your own homework instead of being ignorant.

Posted on April 23, 2011 at 7:56pmThey didn’t infer anything;
Origin of the natural born citizen clause
The strict constitutional requirements were enacted to exclude citizens for the sake of national security in safeguarding the office from inexperience and from persons who may not have sole allegiance. It appears the clause was first introduced for constitutional consideration in a letter from John Jay to George Washington dated July 25, 1787:
Permit me to hint whether it would not be wise and seasonable to provide a strong check to the admission of Foreigners into the administration of our national Government, and to declare expressly that the Commander in Chief of the American army shall not be given to nor devolve on, any but a natural born Citizen.
Jay underlined “born” which signifies the importance of allegiance from birth. The “natural born” requirement renders irrelevant that a person – born to foreign or dual allegiance – may not have renewed his foreign citizenship upon reaching maturity. One is either eligible to be president at birth, or one will never be eligible.
An important historical definition of “natural born citizen” comes from a 1797 translation of the “Law of Nations,” a 1758 text by Emerich de Vattel, which summarized that body of international law known also as the “Law of Nations”:
The citizens are the members of the civil society: bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens.
Note that a child of former aliens can be a natural born citizen under this standard if born in the United States to parents who were naturalized prior to the child’s birth. That was made clear by the Supreme Court’s opinion in Perkins v. Elg.
It appears from James Madison’s notes of August 1787 that the delegates used the terms “native” and “natural born citizen” synonymously. Additionally, Ben Franklin stated that the framers frequently consulted Vattel’s text. Also consider that Article I, Section 8, grants Congress the authority to “punish … offenses against the Law of Nations.”

Posted on April 23, 2011 at 8:43pmYou armchair constitutional lawyers don‘t know that the hell you’re talking about.
First, the 14th Amendment itself declares that anyone born here is a citizen.
Amendment XIV, Section 1, Clause 1:
“ All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”
It defines two kinds of citizens, those born in the United States (natural born citizens) and those born elsewhere but naturalized. The so-called Law of Nations doesn’t mean squat here. The 14th Amendment made that clear.
Second, the question of citizenship was decided by the Supreme Court back in 1898 in a case called U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649 (1898). (Person born in the United States to foreign non-citizens is in fact a citizen of the United States.)
That’s what the entire so-called “anchor baby” dispute is about.
This whole issue is designed to (1) distract from the actual, real dangers of this radical socialist President, and (2) make the independent voters think the Republican party is batsh*t crazy.

The Constitution does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common-law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also.

Posted on April 24, 2011 at 3:26amOnce again you fail to cite any law. Just because according to that letter, the founding fathers believed a natural born citizen to be one with both citizen parents, doesn’t mean that you can use the transitive property to apply that definition to the one scribed in the constitution by those founding fathers. If so, they should have put it in the Constitution itself, otherwise it is far too ambiguous. The supreme court has already decided in the case of a Chinese American that a natural born citizen includes a person who was born on US soil regardless of parental citizenship and supreme court interpreting is final

Posted on April 24, 2011 at 10:48amU.S. v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649 (1898)
In 1898, Justice Horace Gray wrote one of the most controversial opinions in Supreme Court history wherein a man born in the United States of Chinese alien parents was held to be a citizen. Wong Kim Ark is the precedent relied upon for the assertion that any person born on United States soil, regardless of parentage, is a citizen. But that’s not accurate. The holding in Wong Kim Ark appears to require for citizenship that a person be born on United States soil to parents who are permanently domiciled here. If the domicile requirement is upheld in future cases, anchor babies will no longer be assumed to be United States citizens.
Regardless, the holding in Wong Kim Ark did not state that such a citizen was “natural born.” In fact, Justice Gray reiterated the definition of natural born citizen as one born on United States soil to parents who are citizens when he favorably discussed Minor v. Happersett:
That neither Mr. Justice Miller nor any of the justices who took part in the decision of The Slaughterhouse Cases understood the court to be committed to the view that all children born in the United States of citizens or subjects of foreign States were excluded from the operation of the first sentence of the Fourteenth Amendment is manifest from a unanimous judgment of the Court, delivered but two years later, while all those judges but Chief Justice Chase were still on the bench, in which Chief Justice Waite said: “Allegiance and protection are, in this connection (that is, in relation to citizenship), reciprocal obligations. The one is a compensation for the other: allegiance for protection, and protection for allegiance. … At common law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children, born in a country of parents who were its citizens, became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens. …”
Report Post »While the dissent feared the majority holding would make Wong Kim Ark eligible to be president, Justice Gray‘s restatement of the Minor Court’s definition of a natural born citizen as one born in the United States to parents who are citizens stands in direct contrast to the dissent’s fear.

You left out the rest of that quote from Minor v Happersett 1874
“The Constitution does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common-law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners. Some authorities go further and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the citizenship of their parents. As to this class there have been doubts, but never as to the first. For the purposes of this case it is not necessary to solve these doubts. It is sufficient for everything we have now to consider that all children born of citizen parents within the jurisdiction are themselves citizens.”
You know, the part where the Court says that the definition of a natural born citizen was never a settled issue, and make it clear that they are NOT ruling on whether or not American born children of non-citizens are natural born citizens, because it has nothing to do with the case at hand. This was over eighty years after the ratification of the Constitution and almost 25 years before they finally did rule on the matter in the precedent-setting US v Wong Kim Ark decision.
“It thus clearly appears that by the law of England for the last three centuries, beginning before the settlement of this country, and continuing to the present day, aliens, while residing in the dominions possessed by the crown of England, were within the allegiance, the obedience, the faith or loyalty, the protection, the power, and the jurisdiction of the English sovereign; and therefore every child born in England of alien parents was a natural-born subject, unless the child of an ambassador or other diplomatic agent of a foreign state, or of an alien enemy in hostile occupation of the place where the child was born. III. The same rule was in force in all the English colonies upon this continent down to the time of the Declaration of Independence, and in the United States afterwards, and continued to prevail under the constitution as originally established.”

This is common in all states and that is what everyone whom fills out the proper forms receives, which is stamped with a seal from the state it was issued.

The article says that the state of Hawaii does not release the original to anyone. No one would expect them to release the ACTUAL original. The article says nothing about a “Certified Copy”. Certified copies are what we have in Florida and it’s what I have from my birth in NY. The bottom line here is that AP says sit down and shut up.
I don‘t question Barry’s place of birth but I do think that Trump made a valid point when he said that Obama was hiding something on the Birth Certificate. I would bet that it lists religion as Muslim. That could be a problem. For Non-muslims it could be similar to Romney’s “Mormon Problem”, Kennedy’s “Catholic Problem”, and Dukakis’ “Jewish Problem” (his wife).
For Muslims — denying his Muslim faith makes him an Apostate (the worst kind of Infidel). The only way that committed Muslim “Extremists” would not call for a Fatwa against Obama is if they believe that he is engaged in Taqiyya (Permitted lying/deception needed to avoid detection).

Posted on April 24, 2011 at 4:27amIt comes down to this he is a national and not a natural born citizen, his can not hold office because his father was not born here read below:
Report Post »Status as a natural born citizen of the United States is one of the citizenship requirements for President of the United States, which are set by the United States Constitution for candidates to be eligible for election to the office of President or Vice President.
Also
The Department of State occasionally receives requests for certificates of non-citizen national status pursuant to Section 341(b)(2) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), 8 USC 1452(b)(2).
As the title of the certificate indicates, only a person who qualifies as a non-citizen national (i.e. a person who is a U.S. national but not a U.S. citizen) is eligible to apply for such a certificate
Very few persons fall within this category since, as defined by the INA, all U.S. citizens are U.S. nationals but only a relatively small number of persons acquire U.S. nationality without becoming U.S. citizens. Thus, Section 101(a)(22) INA states that all U.S. citizens are also nationals of the U.S. However, Section 308 INA confers U.S. nationality but not U.S. citizenship, on persons born in or having ties with “an outlying possession of the United States.” The outlying possessions are defined in Section 101(A)(29) INA as American Samoa and Swains Island. No other statutes define any other territories nor any of the states as outlying possessions. Those enumerated in section 308 INA as eligible for this status, in addition to those mentioned above, are those individuals born abroad to two American non-citizen national parents, or those born abroad to one alien parent and one non-citizen national parent. Also, there is a residency requirement placed upon the parents of the child prior to birth in order to transmit U.S. nationality

Posted on April 24, 2011 at 7:27amIt’s very interesting to hear from the mouth of his paternal grandmother and officials in Kenya that he was born there. But, whether or not he was born in this country or somewhere else the topic is moot. Both his parents were not natural born citizens of this country. He is not showing his long form BC for a reason and has spent a great deal of money keeping it hidden. There have been discussions about the possibility of an eligitimate Social Security number (from Connecticut). Even the remote possibility that Barry Soetoro may still be his name. Like Pelosi said, you have to pass it to see what’s in it (Obamacare). I want to see what‘s in Obama’s BC. There has never been any true transparency with this President, and there never will be. Congress is NOT doing their job.

Posted on April 24, 2011 at 8:23amWhat the would-be sleuths won‘t find is Obama’s “long-form birth certificate,” a confidential one-page document containing his original birth records kept on file in the first floor of the Department of Health.
Those original birth records typically include additional birth details, such as the hospital and delivering doctor, said Dr. Chiyome Fukino, the state‘s former health director who twice looked at and publicly confirmed Obama’s original long-form birth records.
THIS is what us “birthers” want. Show the damn thing and be done with it. Instead, the left has successfully chastised anyone that wants the information released and labeled us as nuts. Say it enough times, and it will be so. Thank you Saul Alinski.

Posted on April 24, 2011 at 12:53pm“It is absolutely clear to me that he was born here in Hawaii,” Fukino told the AP.
We are supposed to beleive him ? when this story first came out, obama suddenly went to Hawaii to see his “sick grandmother” I am not denying she was sick, but the timing was kind of ironic, and I don’t think he was visiting her before or since, anyway I am sure that when he was there, he stopped by and talked to a few people to kind of take care of this situation, if you know what I mean, still where is the birth certificate ? I have mine, and where are the nurses and doctors that saw him delivered in Hawaii ?

Posted on April 24, 2011 at 1:10pmWhy didn’t they show it to the AP then. That would be simple. There should be no privacy issues, as the President is serving a PUBLIC office. I don’t understand the problem with allowing a third part to witness the original birth certificate.
Report Post »Really, a problem that could be given with any person’s birth certificate, is the father listed doesn’t actually mean he is the father. This is only an assumption of the mother. I know a person who listed another man as the father so that she was protected legally from the real father. This raises another question. Does Obama’s father listed on the birth certificate owe any child support ? Did Obama’s mother ever receive cash assistance ? If so, then Obama’sfather is legally obligated to pay the state child support. Is there any record of any of this ?? TO many unanswered questions. No matter what the case with his birth, they are hiding something .

Posted on April 24, 2011 at 4:13pmIt cracks me up that Glenn Beck talks about people calling him names when he comes out with certain information. Yet he is not above calling people birthers and kooks for wanting to see the official birth certificate of Barack Hussein Obama. As a matter of fact, most of the other talking conservative heads are the same way. Which makes me ask, when do the conservative talking heads make more money and sell more books, when there’s a Republican in the White House, or a Democrat? Never underestimate the power of Greed. As Beck has been able to find many documents and videos, the presidents long form birth certificate shouldn’t be any problem.

Calling our failure to certify Obama’s qualifications to be president merely a “distraction” overlooks the massive fraud perpetrated on the American people by the left. When the most sacred and fundamental questions like “Are you qualified to vote?“ and ”Are you qualified to run for president?” are ignored, then we are handing our country on a golden platter to those who block our investigations of these questions.
The question of Obama’s eligibility was raised even before he was nominated; yet the MSM did everything in their power to crucify the questioners. Simultaneously the Democrats responsible for ensuring eligibility on every state’s ballot buried the question – with the Hawaiian Democrat Party (knowing they could not prove he was born there) merely certifying that Obama’s eligibility to be on the Hawaiian ballot was based upon his having been nominated as the candidate at the Democratic National Convention! (If that isn’t evidence of fraud, I don’t know what is!)
We cannot allow the corruption in our nominating and voting system to be undermined! – Voting is the most sacred right we have yet it is treated like the least important. We are losing more and more of our liberties with every election. I’m sorry Glen – you’re wrong on this one. The other issues are important too, but so is the question of MASSIVE-scale fraud by the MSM-Democrat Party establishment.
Obama’s eligibility must be established in a manner that any court would require as a standard of proof – and not just by taking the Democrat party’s “word” for it. They worship Saul Alinsky’s book (dedicated to Lucifer) that teaches everything you need to know about how to lie effectively.
We need to clearly define what the founding fathers meant when they required the President (alone) to be a “Natural born” citizen. It was obviously an important requirement or they would not have bothered, yet by every possible interpretation I’ve ever read, Obama has not been certified, and probably cannot be…
The direction Obama has taken our country makes one wonder how the founding fathers could have known that it was an important requirement; but Obama is all the proof we need that the founding fathers knew what they were doing.
If the Democrats and MSM cannot be faithful to our constitution in such a simple task as establishing proof of eligibility, then we have no hope to expect Obama and the Democrats to be faithful in other things that also matter – so why worry about TARP and Healthcare and budget battles if we cannot even agree on something so simple as proof of eligibility to be president? We should have put a stop to the election until the Supreme Court ruled on the matter.
Consider this! Lee Harvey Oswald is a man who was famous for only two days of his life – from the day JFK was assassinated until the day LHO was also assassinated… A large part of his young adult life spent behind the very secret iron curtain… yet investigators have amassed over 600 photographs of him throughout his life. We know more about Lee Harvey Oswald and who all his friends were – even behind the iron curtain – than we do about the man sitting in the oval office acting as the President of the United States! If that doesn’t scare you, then you’re not paying attention to the important things. The question of eligibility matters as much if not more than all other questions!

Posted on April 25, 2011 at 2:00amI‘ll tell you why we haven’t seen a long-form birth certificate…
A. Because it was filed as an unattended birth.
Report Post »B. Because it lists Lolo Soetoro as the father.
C. Because it doesn’t exist and the COLB was granted without proof.

Posted on April 25, 2011 at 2:03amMy best guess: the birth announcement was filed with the newspaper by Barry’s grandparents, which is why their address appears.
That’s not proof that he was born here.
I could go out tomorrow and file a birth announcement with my local paper for someone who doesn’t even exist. Know why? Because birth announcements and obituaries ARE NOT LEGAL EVIDENCE OF ANYTHING.

Report Post »That’s the way that every state is, they do not give out the original birth certificate. That is why they have what is called a “certified copy of the orginal birth certificate” of which anyone can get a copy like that of their own actual birth certificate from ANY state in the country. In fact, I have my certified copy at the county courthouse where I live while the ORIGINAL is where they keep the originals at in the state of my birth.
