And that's why the states must reject a document that does not constitute actual proof. There were 13 states contemplating laws to require this. They were well aware that that trick would be attempted, and specifically wrote prohibitions against it into the proposed laws governing ballot access.
We should not be TOLERATING these stupid lawyer games. If the man cannot produce an actual copy of the original document, EVERY state should refuse to let him on the ballot. That is their DUTY. If he produces an Original, and it shows his father to be an Alien, He should not be permitted on the Ballot. That is Also their duty.

Under the “full faith and credit” clause of the Constitution, a state certified copy of a Hawaii Certification of Live Birth should be accepted since it contains the constitutionally required information that can be found on a birth record: Name, date of birth and location of birth. The other constitutional requirement is 14 years residence in the US. No birth record documents that. At least that’s what Zero’s Perkins-Cole lawyers will argue.
If any state should reject Zero’s COLB in 2012, that will be an interesting entree into having a real, official, judicial discussion of the two citizen parent theory.
New Hampshire is the only state so far to pass Presidential eligibility legislation to date and their law is a “sign that you are natural born” type bill, along with producing “a birth certificate.”
