Required for what? We're not litigating in court now. We'll never know if Dr. Sinclair actually treated Stanley Ann Dunham, since neither of those were ever asked that question, and both are long deceased. That's why a hospital patient record would clarify this, unlike a highly questionable PDF of a purported BC on which Dr. Sinclair's signature could have been forged or stamped or produced electronically, even after his death.
Certainly anything is possible, but Its PROVING it that has been difficult over the last 9 years.
“Required” for a hospital birth to be recorded by a state.
Hospitals don’t typically keep records of routine procedures from 56 years ago. The Certificate of Live Birth documents the event and additionally there was the “Health Bureau Statistics” column in the August 13, 1961 Honolulu Sunday Advertiser newspaper and the “Marriage Applications, Births, Deaths” column in the August 14, 1961 Honolulu Star-Bulletin newspaper which both list the Obama birth occuring on August 4, 1961.
From 2011:
“At 6:00 this morning my daughter in law Dawn Sinclair called and said mom you’ve got to go on TV, President Obama released his live birth certificate and dad delivered him. It was great news. A big big surprise for all of us,” said Ivalee Sinclair, Dr. David A Sinclair’s wife.
The Sinclair family has made quite an impact in Hawaii. Ivalee Sinclair came to Hawaii on the very first civilian ship to the islands. She is a Jefferson Award winner for her work advocating for special needs children and co-authored the Felix Consent Decree. Dr. David Sinclair’s dad built Hawaii’s first airport. Now delivering a president can be added to the Sinclair family’s list of accomplishments.
David A Sinclair was a fighter pilot in World War II. After the war he returned to Hawaii. He fell in love and married Ivalee in 1947.
“I know he was beloved by many people,” said Sinclair.
He was an Obgyn in Hawaii from 1960 to 1988 and delivered thousands of babies in that time but he and his family had no idea one of them would go on to be president.
“Rather awesome,” laughed Sinclair. “Amazing, I knew he was a good physician and I knew he took good care of his people, but I had no idea he delivered someone of such fame.”
She says President Obama’s mom was likely Dr. Sinclair’s patient because he worked in a solo practice and did not respond to deliveries for anyone but his own patients.
Dr. Sinclair passed away in 2003 but Mrs. Sinclair has no doubt it’s her husband signature and says there is no way it’s faked or forged.
“That is his signature and I have many pieces of paper with his signature on it and I’d be happy to show them to anyone who questions it but that is his signature,” said Sinclair.
Even still she’s guessing this won’t be the end of the issue.
“I think if you choose to believe it’s not true, you will always find a way not to believe it. I hope that people that are reasonable and rationale and believe in facts will put the rumors to rest and we move on,” said Sinclair.
Today Governor Neil Abercrombie said, “No rational person can question the president’s citizenship.” He also says, “It is an insult to the President, his parents and the office to suggest he was not born in Hawaii.”
