You’re right, there’s no need to go through any search engine to get to the Hawaii statutes on the confidentiality and legal process for the release of vital records. I’m sure that you can get there on your own. Once again, the cite that you asked for is HRS 338-18, 19.

Who a person’s father is; what hospital they were born in; and what schools they attended are completely and totally irrelevant to whether or not they were born in the United States of America.

Whose job do you think it is to determine whose credentials are acceptable as a natural born citizen in order to become President of the United States?

If anybody wants to view Obama’s original birth certificate, get a subpoena for that document from a judge.

The burden of proof is no longer on Obama beyond qualifying to be on the ballot in 50 states and the District of Columbia.

There was an additional opportunity for any two (one Representative and one Senator were required) of 535 members of Congress to object to Vice President Cheney’s Certification of the Electoral College vote during the joint session of Congress held on January 8th to count the Electoral College votes. No Senator and no Representative objected to the official certification of the Election.
There is no legislative or judicial authority in the United States that has the power to overturn the electoral will of 69,456,897 voters and 365 Electors.
At this point in time and for the next four years, impeachment is the constitutional vehicle to remove Obama from office.

What is relevant to a presidential election is whether a candidate is a natural born citizen at the time he or she runs for office. A candidate who has never in the public record conclusively established his or her status as a natural born citizen or whose self-documented life includes visiting countries banned from visitation by US citizens or attending foreign schools whose students are restricted to be only citizens of a foreign country to begin with or who has relinquished whatever claim to citizenship he or she may have formerly held or who has otherwise yet to provide proof elegibility to become president under the US Constitution is by way of creating a vacuum of certainty over his or her claim to legitimacy of authority, effectively inviting legal and physical challenges to whatever authority he or she exercises in his or her presidential capacity. This effective invitation covers lawsuits, writs, domestic insurrections, and everything up to and including hostile nuclear actions from foreign countries or powers.

For the future, I think the vetting should be performed at the first time a candidate name is presented to a state election authority for appearance on a presidential primary ballot (to the best of my knowledge, that does not occur in any state or DC at this time).

As it currently seems to stand, Arnold Swarzenegger could under current procedure become US President by running for election, relying on his popularity with the voting public, and avoiding inconvenient questions until he is elected and sworn into office. Apparently that is a situation permitted by existing procedures, but at variance with the express intent of the authors of the US Constitution.

It sounds to me as if you are already aware that it has been reported that Dick Cheney, when he presided over the Senate on January 8 did not, as prescribed by the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 3, Chapter 1, Section 15 ("Counting electoral votes in Congress"

Upon such reading of any such certificate or paper, the President of the Senate shall call for objections, if any.

stop and ask the Senate for objections.
