It is an indisputable fact that Hawaii, in the early '60s would issue birth certificates to infants who's parent(s) were Hawaiian residents and either gave birth to a child out of the country, or adopted a child out of country, so long as they applied for the bc within a specific period of time (less than a year or six months, I believe).

But according to Ms Okubo, the short form would list the child's actual place of birth. So, if Obama had been born outside Hawaii while his mother was on a trip to visit his father's parents, he might still have been issued a Hawaiian BC, but it would have said he was born in Mombasa, not Honolulu. This is the point the birthers gloss over when they cite Hawaii's BC policies of the day.

But according to Ms Okubo, the short form would list the child's actual place of birth.

"Actual" does not literally mean actual. You can go into any DOH office, have a driver's license, show proof of residency in Hawaii like utility receipts or a lease agreement, and sign a notarized statement that you were born in Hawaii, and Presto, you get a freshly-printed COLB with HAWAII listed as your place of birth.

It will say, Amended" on it, though.

So much for "actual place of birth."
