Under the current statute Cheney would be too distant a relative to be able to receive the certified standard copy. Under previous statutes he would have been able to, so it seems like that disclosure might have been “grandfathered in”.
I agree that the focus needs to be the hiding. For one thing, we’ve got so many contradictory statements from the DOH that only God knows which of their statements is true.
My point was just that it could have been obtained many ways, such as via a nice payment to one of the relatives he's thrown under the bus.
I think he was clearly born in Hawaii, but has something embarrassing on there.
