From your link:
“The state’s Department of Health director on Friday released a statement verifying the legitimacy of Sen. Barack Obama birth certificate.”
A BC registered in Hawaii for an individual born outside of the US, or for an individual whose BC reflects past/current dual citizenship.....is authentic.
That has absolutely nothing to do with whether the person is constitutionally elligible to serve as POTUS.
Furthermore:
“Hawaii Revised Statute 338-178 allows registration of birth in Hawaii for a child that was born outside of Hawaii to parents who, for a year preceding the child’s birth, claimed Hawaii as their place of residence,” the document said. “The only way to know where Senator Obama was actually born is to view Senator Obama’s original birth certificate from 1961 that shows the name of the hospital and the name and signature of the doctor that delivered him.”
Sorry, but Barry’s COLB, fake or otherwise simply does not qualify as verification of natural born citizenship, or status of any dual citizenship. Only his long form would have this necessary detail.
Past candidates were disqualified for this same exact concern:
“Historically, California Secretaries of State have exercised their due diligence by reviewing necessary background documents, verifying that the candidates that were submitted by the respective political parties as eligible for the ballot were indeed eligible. In 1968, the Peace and Freedom Party submitted the name of Eldridge Cleaver as a qualified candidate for President of the United States. The then SOS, Mr. Frank Jordan, found that, according to Mr. Cleaver’s birth certificate, he was only 34 years old, one year shy of the 35 years of age needed to be on the ballot as a candidate for President. Using his administrative powers, Mr. Jordan removed Mr. Cleaver from the ballot. Mr. Cleaver unsuccessfully challenged this decision to the Supreme Court of the State of California, and, later, to the Supreme Court of the United States.”
Similarly, in 1984, the Peace and Freedom Party candidate Larry Holmes was removed from the ballot.
The “certificate of live birth” posted by the Obama campaign cannot be viewed as authoritative, the case alleges.
Obama’s Certification of Live Birth states that he was born in Honolulu, Hawaii on the Island of Oahu on August 4, 1961 at 7:24 P.M.

There are birth announcements in both major Honolulu newspapers for him from Sunday, August 13, 1961:

Once again, the Hawaii Certification of Live Birth is “prima facie evidence of birth in any court proceeding.” It is all the evidence that Obama need ever present to anybody. The US Constititution does not prescribe a method for determining “natural born” status. Obama’s Certification of Live Birth in Hawaii has been corroborated by two state officals, both appointed by a Republican governor who endorsed John McCain for President.
Nine courts have now heard evidence in this case, none has granted relief to any plaintiff.
Here’s excerpts from the judge’s decision in one of the dismissals seeking a Writ of Mandamus in Virginia:
