IMHO, everything after the first paragraph makes the bill worthless.
Everything else that follows is unapplicable to the case of Obama. According to government officials in Hawaii, Obama does have a long form birth certificate.
The first is that the original so-called "long form" birth certificate — described by Hawaiian officials as a "record of live birth" — absolutely exists, located in a bound volume in a file cabinet on the first floor of the state Department of Health. Fukimo said she has personally inspected it — twice. The first time was in late October 2008, during the closing days of the presidential campaign, when the communications director for the state's then Republican governor, Linda Lingle (who appointed Fukino) asked if she could make a public statement in response to claims then circulating on the Internet that Obama was actually born in Kenya.
Before she would do so, Fukino said, she wanted to inspect the files — and did so, taking with her the state official in charge of vital records. She found the original birth record, properly numbered, half typed and half handwritten, and signed by the doctor who delivered Obama, located in the files. She then put out a public statement asserting to the document's validity. She later put out another public statement in July 2009 — after reviewing the original birth record a second time.
Brewer is full of sh*t. She and McCain are protecting Obama. The bill is far from worthless. Brewer is not interested in holding Obama accountable under the US Constitution. Defending her is pure stupidity or worse.
Does she know he doesn't have one? Does she know pursuit of his long form will cause 'embarrassment' to the President, (as stated by his attorneys in one of the eligibility laesuits).
