“The Certificate of Hawaiian Birth program (1911-1972) provided for any person born in Hawaii whose birth has not been previously registered in Hawaii to register by a guardian having knowledge of the facts of birth. If all that was needed was his mother?s say so. He could have easily been born in Kenya, brought back to the US and applied for a LATE Certificate.”
That quote from Israel Insider is very misleading. Also I don't know where the year 1972 comes from.
The actual program is for a DELAYED Birth Certificate. There were many people born long before birth certificates were mandatory so therefore you have to apply for a delayed one. This requires a LOT of information to do.
Quote:"Hawaii has birth and death records beginning in 1853. Prior to 1896, however, the records are incomplete. Early vital records were kept by local government authorities and clergymen. There are a few missionary reports that date back as early as 1826. They are on file at the Hawaii State Archives, the Department of Health, and the Daughters of the American Revolution Library in Honolulu, and many are at the FHL in Salt Lake City. Since 1911, delayed birth certificates can be applied for in Hawaii. They often contain valuable genealogical information. The FHL has seventy microfilm rolls of delayed birth records for Hawaii. This collection contains 50,000 delayed birth records and covers the period from 1859 to 1903, with indexes from 1859 to 1938. Most records are now deposited with the State Department of Health."

I should not have posted that without looking at the law. I was sent that reference without any explanation of the background in connection with a discussion about my concern that birth certificates get issued in various jurisdictions on the basis of a number of different kinds of support.
I have always thought that ultimately, Obama will turn up with some kind of document issued by Hawaii Department of Health that he will claim is a birth certificate. Although the August 8 date, four days after the claimed birth, looks like it might have resulted from Stanley Ann returning from Kenya and filing something, or having her mother file something, I have also thought when they returned from Indonesia, they might have posted another affidavit type of filing to beef up their earlier data.
But in the context of your analysis, I agree, the late filing rule might well have been difficult for them to comply with.
