Let’s do our 10th-grade English diagramming of the sentence Fukino used. Take this part: “I, Dr Chiyome Fukino, have seen the original vital records”

What is the subject and what is the verb? What is the object of the verb?

VLet’s do our 10th-grade English diagramming of the sentence Fukino used. Take this part: “I, Dr Chiyome Fukino, have seen the original vital records”

OK, I’ll play and try to channel my 15 year old self.
“I, Dr. Chiyome Fukino”: subject.
“have seen”: verb.
“original vital records”: direct object.

But you’re wanting me to only diagram PART of a sentence and not the ENTIRE sentence? That wouldn’t be grammatically correct. My tenth grade English teacher would be upset.

Its a relatively complex sentence: “I, Dr. Chiyome Fukino, director of the Hawaii Department of Health, have seen the original vital records maintained on file by the Hawaii State Department of Health verfifying Barack Hussein Obama was born in Hawaii and is a natural born American citizen.”

Yes, I definitely want the records to provide the verification (after all, that’s why we keep records) and not just the personal opinion of Dr. Fukino. What I want from her is a statement of confirmation that the records do indeed provide that verification.

From her July 27, 2009 statement, I have what I wanted.
