By definition and by law, you are wrong. A certification of live birth is a birth certificate.

By the constitution of the United States it states that the President must be a natural born citizen. That requires a document called a BIRTH CERTIFICATE which states the CITIZENSHIP of the PARENTS. The COLB does not have that information on it. If you have not been following this issue then you would not realize that FOREIGNERS can register a birth in the state of Hawaii.

So far so good.

"That requires a document called a BIRTH CERTIFICATE which states the CITIZENSHIP of the PARENTS."

Well, that didn't last long. You're already losing me.

How, for example could that require a birth certificate when for most of American history there was no such thing? They weren't even required by law until the second decade of the 20th century, and as far as I can tell only 8 of our 44 presidents ever had one at all. I know that Eisenhower did not have one. Neither did Truman. Ronald Reagan didn't get one in until he was 32 years old.

And worse... I have scores of Birth Certificates in my Family History Files. Not a single one of them shows the citizenship of the parents.

Not on that says they were born in Honolulu.
