You mean Article Six, the Supremacy Clause.

Article Four gives to the states “Full faith and credit” over their own records.
What Hawaii says is an official record of their state must be accepted in every other state and by the federal government. When the Republican Governor of Hawaii confirmed that Obama was born there, every other state and Congress backed off.

Article Four, Section 1:
“Full faith and credit shall be given in each state to the public acts, records, and judicial proceedings of every other state. And the Congress may by general laws prescribe the manner in which such acts, records, and proceedings shall be proved, and the effect thereof.”

I was too brief in my initial reply.

I do mean Article IV. I'm focusing on the phrase "shall be proved." This implies a right of the others states to determine for themselves the authenticity of another state's public records before they grant "full faith and credit" to it.

To date, Hawaii has not let any agent of another state see the public record. All they have done is provide a statement declaring that the facsimile produced on the internet contains information that matches information in their records. That is not the same as saying that it is an identical record.

One has to wonder, if it is an identical record then why the hesitancy to show the record to a Constitutionally authorized agent? The answer has to be that they are hiding something.

They didn't confirm he was born there. They confirm he has a "record in their files." Once again, Hawaii is probably the only state in the Union that will give you a birth certificate even when you aren't born there.
