The only proof of native born citizen status that McCain, Obama, Bob Barr, Cynthia McKinney or any other candidate needs to show is an official document issued by a state which lists a place of birth and a date of birth. PERIOD.

Obama has presented that.

The only legitimate legal question is whether or not the documentation that he has presented is forged or fraudulent.

To whom, exactly? When, exactly? Under what rule(s) or law(s), exactly? Does it or does it not constitute "best evidence"? Who is Obama's Jr listed father, and what is his citizenry to document that Obama Jr is indeed a natural born citizen under then current law? Has Obama filed an affidavit with a court under penalty of perjury in either state or federal jurisdiction that he never relinquished the US citizenship you presume? If so, where? And if so, how did he attend Indonesian public school (documented historical fact) and how did he travel to Pakistan in 1980-1981 (documented historical fact) when Pakistan was on the list of countries that US citizens were banned from visiting?
The only legitimate legal question is whether or not the documentation that he has presented is forged or fraudulent.
See above for points that call into question his current citizenship status.
Google “Hawaii Revised Statutes Section 338” and pay particular attention to Sections 338-18 and 338-19.
Ahem, your point being... what, exactly? (And... why drag Google as a third party into a any legal argument??)
If it is that the US voting public has no tangible or direct interest in viewing Obama/Sotero's birth certificate, I respectfully disagree.
Why wait (for example) until a crisis with order of magnitude equivalent to the Cuban missile crisis to find out whether the military chain of command agrees with you? Or (for that matter) some low level (read: unelected) Hawaiian government PR flack?
Is that a risk the consequences of which you (jamese777) would be willing to underwrite??

Now... with all that wonderful effort, under what logic does Obama/Sotero withhold his birth certificate?? Contrast the remarkable amount of information provided with the absence of candor regarding a fundamental qualification that Obama needs in order to be qualified to serve the public as president under the US Constitution. Who is blowing smoke??
