Legally the state presenting the documents must authenticate them to comply with the Full Faith and Credit clause.
They are then subject to investigation, and with the numerous vague and contradictory statements by Hawaii as well as their actions and actions by the DNC etc, there is easily reason to investigate Obama’s birth and documents. If he was applying for a sensitive position in the Federal Government he certainly would be investigated to the nth degree. He is getting a pass because of the race card and the deal cut with McCain, and because of the news media. It defies logic not to investigate Obama and clear up the record so we can have a tiny bit of trust in our government.
Apparently the powers to be don't care a tinkers darn about what we the people want.
Until we start some non-violent protests and actions, they will continue to do nothing as evidenced by Cantor's words today. Gutless Cowards who refuse to do the job they swore to do.
Just pinging a few names to rolling_stone’s interesting comment.

......
False claim to US citizenship is 18 USC 911 certainly can be investigated by the US government.....
SAN DIEGO — U.S. Border Patrol Agent Oscar Antonio Ortiz brought a certain inside knowledge to his job policing the U.S.-Mexican frontier: He had come to the United States illegally and was once arrested and accused of trying to drive two illegal immigrants across from Mexico.
But his superiors did not know any of that when he applied for a job with the Border Patrol, because he had a fake birth certificate that said he was from Chicago.....
.....He had joined the Navy in 1998 after growing up in San Diego and working a construction job in Utah. During four years in the military, mostly aboard an amphibious assault ship, he collected awards including for good conduct.
Fraser said the agency had believed Ortiz was a U.S. citizen — a job requirement — and was unaware of his smuggling arrest, which took place shortly before he applied to the Border Patrol in October 2001. (He was accused of taking $400 to try to smuggle two people across the border, but was never actually charged.)
“There were no red flags,” Fraser said.
Investigators found Ortiz was really born in Tijuana, Mexico. His attorney, Stephen White, said in court that Ortiz’s mother obtained the fake birth certificate when Ortiz was 3, and Ortiz said he grew up thinking he was a U.S. citizen.
(my note-happens all the time relative files for delayed fraudulent BC-he knew. Congress should know and should investigate.,)
After Ortiz’s arrest, Customs and Border Protection, which includes the Border Patrol and border inspectors, checked the citizenship of its nearly 42,000 employees, Fraser said. He said he did not immediately know whether any other noncitizens were found.....

Interesting case of delayed fraudulent BC in Texas filed by one of hundreds claiming birth via midwife’s.
...18 U.S.C. § 1001 is designed to protect federal funds and functions from fraudulent interference. In furthering these purposes, it is irrelevant whether defendant knew that his intentionally false statements might eventually influence a federal agency.....
