My birth certificate has a II on it. My son is III.
“My birth certificate has a II on it. My son is III.”
My point is: was there a II on your birth certificate, or was it a Jr. at the time of your birth? Supposedly the correct way of doing it is when your son came along and was given the same name, then you would become II and he would be III.
I’m curious as to why Obama had a II on this record of birth that’s being discussed. But if you say that you were given a II at the time of your birth, then maybe it’s a common thing to do.
