I was under the impression that Verna K. L. Lee was the Local Registrar for the region that included the Wahiawa Hospital. (See the Edith Coates doc.) If zero was really born at Kapiolani, she would not have been the registar to sign 'his' birth certificate. The Registrar for the region that included Kapiolani is the person who signed the document received from the hospital for the Nordyke twins.
It’s difficult to overcome the hurdle and state Obama was not born in Hawaii when you’ve got a signed affidavit from the mother, delivery doctor and hospital admin attesting to the fact a live birth took place on Aug. 4, 1961 in Hawaii. And the attestation was made within a few days of the event. Also, the affidavit of a live birth was “accepted” by a registrar of the HDOH.
It’s time to accept the fact Obama was born in Hawaii in 1961. If you believe natural born citizenship status is held in perpetuity and can never be lost, taken away, renounced or dismissed, then Obama is eligible for POTUS and always will be.
I’ve always believed U.S. citizenship and natural born citizenship status is precarious for anyone, regardless of age, who moves out of the country and naturalizes in a foreign state or maintains dual citizenship. A careful review of Vance v. Terrazas demonstrates how precarious citizenship status can be for a U.S Citizen who moves out of the country and renounces their U.S. Citizenship before any tribunal or administrative body.
Terrazas renounced his U.S. Citizenship before Mexican officials and never renounced it before U.S. officials. Yet, the SoS issued him a Certificate of Loss of Nationality. The U.S. District Court ruled in favor of the SoS. The Appeals Court overturned the U.S. District Court. And SCOTUS, in 1980, reversed and remanded the Appeals Court. In 1986, Congress amended the INA to comply with the 1980, Vance v. Terrazas ruling.
We know that Stanley Ann amended her renewal passport in Aug, 1967 to exclude Obama and his St. Francis Assisi enrollment, dated Jan. 1, 1968, indicated Barry Soetoro was an Indonesian National. That’s all it takes for the SoS to issue a Certificate of Loss of Nationality.
