"No, actually it doesn't. There are several possible third-parties who can receive a birth certificate."

Sadly for you though, none of the "possible third-parties" that are enumerated in the law have asked for one. I note that nether butterdezillion nor you are on that list.

"And again, there's no law that would be broken by Fukino making a full disclosure. She has statutory authority. I've cited the law. Denying it and twisting it doesn't change it."

No law except this one:

§338-18 Disclosure of records. (b)"The department shall not permit inspection of public health statistics records, or issue a certified copy of any such record or part thereof, unless it is satisfied that the applicant has a direct and tangible interest in the record."

What part of "The department shall not..." do you have trouble understanding? Exactly?

"The HI DOH posted an Obama FAQ page at its Web site. How do you reckon that's not to be in response to legitimate public interest??"

LOL... I suspected it before when I suggested you go find out what "public interest" means, and now I know you are clueless. It doesn't mean morbid curiosity. Look up "legitimate" too while you're at it.

"These documents should be going into the Obama presidential library for historians and scholars to view."

And 15 or 20 years from now when there actually is an Obama Presidential Library, you and I can go together and look for them.

According to the DOH's adminstrative rules (posted at butter's site) we are. The only problem is that the DOH doesn't want to follow its own rules. Instead they carry water for a fraud.

It only applies to CERTIFIED copies of the record and physical inspections of records. I'm not asking for my own certified copy of the record and I'm not asking for personal access to the DOH's records. Do you understand??

Translated: you knew you were pwned on this point, so you're going to post a vapid insult and some pointless word search game because you can't dispute the point. I accept your concession.

I hope you like looking at empty rooms and blank exhibits.
