Hawaii papers published COLB information automatically.
A COLB is an administrative document, not a legal proof of birthplace.

If you were concerned about adherence to the Constitution, the Constitutional definition of “natural born citizen” and were serious about an oath you had taken (as I have), I would hope you would have doubts. It's a matter of personal integrity, honor, the responsibility to the military chain of command and for the welfare of your subordinates if in a position of authority.

I understand if you can't relate - there are many (mostly on the other side) of that perspective.

It's not a matter of what I want it to be, it's a matter of what it isn't yet proven to be and there is sufficient doubt.

But, for all practical purposes, he has provided a COLB. Its just that isn’t enough for a lot of people. He has proven his birth in Hawaii.

Simply raising questions about that document does not equate to proof or evidence. They are simply questions.

He has presented affidavits from Hawaiian officials. That constitutes evidence.

BO has complied with his obligations.

A COLB is an administrative document, not a legal proof of birthplace.

Those asking for a birth certificate would look very reasonable if that were true. The COLB says "this copy serves as prima facie evidence of the fact of birth in any court proceeding," and Hawaii calls the COLB their "short form birth certificate." It has the State Department requirements of seal and signature. This makes it very difficult to declare it's not legal proof of birthplace.
