Funny, but I don't seem to recall any Fukino around the Constitution.
Furthermore, having made that statement, she is bound, BOUND I say, by Hawaiian State Law (The Hawaiian Uniform Informtion Practices Act) to release the paperwork that led her to make that extraordinary statement.
Well I guess if an Orange County Lady Dentist can practice bad law, so can a Hawaiian Lady Doctor, but without benefit of a "pass" on the bar exam .
So, if I want to know who is a "Natural Born Citizen," I ask Dr. Chiyomo Fukino? Cool.
Well, two things here... but first before those two things... one thing is clear, no matter what. Obama was born in Hawaii.
Now, the two things regarding this issue of "natural born citizen" -- which is a slightly different issue (according to some posters) than if someone is born in the United States.
(1) The State of Hawaii has lawyers and they advise on legal issues as they have an entire agency of lawyers. The only reason why the State of Hawaii issued this statement is because it was an issue that the State of Hawaii has been "hounded about" by many people across the country.
So, they are issuing a statement to the general public of this nation, addressing the conserns of the citizens across this country -- about (a) where Obama was born, and (b) if he is a natural born citizen. Therefore knowing about this issue, knowing its legal ramifications, knowing their responsibility as the only official holders of this record -- they are going to have their legal agency vet any such statement about this kind of issue to the general public of the United States.
I don't have any concerns about them having vetted it and letting it go out just as it is stated in that announcement, because they know it's true according to their records and true according to the law (and their attorneys that verified that very thing).
(2) The other thing is that you've got an issue, dealing with the "natural born status" of a person -- which is in dispute by various legal parties. Some say all that is required is someone is born in the United States. Others say that the parents citizenship is essential to determining that.
There's no question that this is the dispute on the "natural born status" of a person -- since it's being argued that very way.
Thus, the only way anyone is ever going to settle that legal dispute, about anyone's "natural born status" (whether it has to do with the parents' citizenship or not -- is for the Supreme Court to make that determination.
Until you get a case to the Supreme Court on the issue of whether a person's citizenship is affected by the citizenship of their parents -- you're not going to have this settled.
It's obvious that the State of Hawaii is on one side of that legal issue -- and it's just as obvious that you are on the other side of that legal issue. This dispute will not be settled in any thread on Free Republic. It will only be settled by the Supreme Court.
In the meantime, Obama is just as qualified as anyone else is, per the Constitution, as long as they meet those three requirements.
Wanna know what they’re claiming now? They’re claiming that because Hawaii has index data on Obama’s birth it means he’s natural born.
That’s how Constitutionally sound the “experts” in Hawaii are...
“So, if I want to know who is a “Natural Born Citizen,” I ask Dr. Chiyomo Fukino? Cool. “
SNORT!
