As I understand it, Congress can’t have any legal bearing on Obama’s birth facts or the legal status of them. The Full Faith and Credit Clause of Article IV (Sec 1) says that each state’s acts, records, and judicial proceedings are to be honored. Hawaii birth certificates are governed by Hawaii law, and HRS 338-17 says that an amended and/or late BC has no legal value until it is presented as evidence to a judicial or administrative person or body and determined to be probative. Congress is legislative, not judicial or administrative. They can’t determine the probative value of an amended Hawaii BC. They simply have to abide by the process that Hawaii has set up for its records.

Interesting, thanks for clearing that up although I was mostly being facetious.=)
