Dr. Fukino’s statement confirming Obama’s Hawaii birth is still available at the web site of the State of Hawaii Department of Health for anyone to read and it was confirmed to several “birther” web sites including WorldNetDaily that Dr. Fukino’s statement was reviewed and approved by the state Attorney General’s office.
You can read her statement on the website here:

Scroll down to #3 “All past statements by the Health Director...”
The rest of your post has nothing to do with Obama’s eligibility under Article 2 Section 1 of the Constitution.
Dr. Fukino’s statement is unambiguous and legally definitive. It is on the official state letterhead with Governor Lingle’s name prominently featured.
When attorneys leave the practice of law to enter other professions, they often surrender their law licenses so that they do not have to attend Continuing Legal Education workshops in order to keep their license active. Its as simple and as uncomplicated as that.
I read both your links. Interesting that the COLB that Obama has remarked on, that was posted by Fact Check is fake, and Fukino says he is a Natural Born Citizen, yet the Insightful director of the Health department of Hawaii Ms. Chioumi Fukino has only provided a cryptic statement, that there is a document on file, according to Hawaiian rules and regulations, however she consistently refused to provide a clear answer, as to what document is there, is it a 338-5 document supplied by a parent only without any corroborating evidence, is it a 338-17 document given to a foreign born child of a Hawaiian resident, is it an amended birth certificate, given upon Mr. Obama’s adoption by his Indonesian step father and showing him as a citizen of Indonesia?
Now, watch the language Fukino uses in her latest declaration — “I…have seen the original vital records maintained on file…”
Those are two completely different statements. In the first, she is describing a document — a piece of paper. In the second she is describing an electronic data set — data stored on a disc. Fukino is carefully parsing her words and clearly dissimulating, but why?
Now let’s examine what USA Today is reporting: “Hawaii’s health director reiterated this afternoon that she has personally seen Obama’s birth certificate in the Health Department’s archives.”
That statement is false. It is not what Fukino said. Fukino did not say, “she has personally seen Obama’s birth certificate in the Health Department’s archives” — and USA Today even put their made-up statement within quotes.

STATEMENT BY DR. CHIYOME FUKINO
“There have been numerous requests for Sen. Barack Hussein Obama’s official birth certificate. State law ( Hawaii Revised Statutes §338-18) prohibits the release of a certified birth certificate to persons who do not have a tangible interest in the vital record.
“Therefore, I as Director of Health for the State of Hawaii, 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 Hawaii State Department of Health has Sen. Obama’s original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures.
“No state official, including Governor Linda Lingle, has ever instructed that this vital record be handled in a manner different from any other vital record in the possession of the State of Hawaii.”
Please consider this request as a Hawaii UIPA (Uniform Information Practices Act) request under section 92F-12.
I would also appreciate confirmation of receipt of this request in a timely manner per guidelines.
