Ah, I don’t think FUKINO did verify that he is a natural born citizen, I think someone else did. She doesn’t say SHE did in the press release

Yes, that's what she said. Or more precisely that the records verified his NBC status.

Her exact words, from the 27 July Press release:

“I, Dr. Chiyome Fukino, Director of the Hawai‛i State Department of Health, have seen the original vital records maintained on file by the Hawai‘i State Department of Health verifying Barack Hussein Obama was born in Hawai‘i and is a natural-born American citizen. I have nothing further to add to this statement or my original statement issued in October 2008 over eight months ago.”

Break it down, word is that they had the Hawaii AG verify it. Someone called and asked. She has SEEN the records, nothing more. Their first statement in OCT 2008 shows how she states she verifies something: “I have seen the original vital records verifying Barack Hussein Obama is a natural-born American citizen.” “I, Dr. Chiyome Fukino, Director of the Hawai‛i State Department of Health, have seen the original vital records maintained on file by the Hawai‘i State Department of Health verifying Barack Hussein Obama was born in Hawai‘i and is a natural-born American citizen. I have nothing further to add to this statement or my original statement issued in October 2008 over eight months ago.” FROM OCT 2008: “I have personally seen and verified that the Hawai‘i State Department of Health has Sen. Obama’s original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures. “Therefore, I as Director of Health for the State of Hawai‘i, along with the Registrar of Vital Statistics who has statutory authority to oversee and maintain these type of vital records, have personally seen and verified that the Hawai‘i State Department of Health has Sen. Obama’s original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures.
