MM:”So, even if we go with Oklahoma, what exactly is the point? Rather, what does it matter who is listed as the father, unless the father was an ambassador or other diplomat serving the US?”
The original point of my statement (prior to you taking us down a rat-hole) was to show that the short-form Cetificate of Live Birth does not necessarily represent the information on the original long-form BC. Ammendments can be made to the BC that substantially effect the information recorded on the document. We cannot discern what is different until we are allowed to view the original.
You had previously stated “Given that the short form Certification of Live Birth is a certified copy of the long form Certificate of Live Birth, no”. Though your statement may be right for most BCs, there is absolutely no way for you to prove this is true in the case of BHO. On the contrary, given the confusing and erroneous historic information that has been propagated concerning BHO, and the fact that he refuses to reveal his original BC, I suspect the short form COLB is NOT a “copy” of the long form record.
