Here is a serious(?) theory that I will put out there.
Obama has a BC from Hawaii ....but there is something on there he wants no one to see. He and his lawyers get the BC folks to sign off on whatever changes they make. (some of this probably has a lot to do with Obamas adoption.)
So the released doc is a combination of stuff it is doctored but the lawyers have all signed off on it making it legal
Once you get lawyers involved its cover your ass time all the time.
Dunno. I’ve wondered that myself.
It does seem possible.
I am skeptical though that whatever it might or might not be is related to eligibility.
I think baby Obama was registered in Hawaii (the empty line 23) but his Pink Slip says he was born in Mombasa.
If this was a betting wager in Vegas I would put money on it.
